What Results Look Like
Professional whitening -- in-office or take-home -- delivers a noticeably brighter smile. Results vary by starting shade and treatment selected.

See the difference in a single appointment. Dentist-supervised whitening delivers results that store-bought products simply can't match, safely, predictably, and dramatically.
Both are dentist-supervised. Both produce real results. The right one depends on your timeline and goals.
Professional-grade whitening gel is applied chairside and activated for maximum effect. Most patients leave 6–8 shades lighter after a single 60–90 minute appointment.
Best for: upcoming events, weddings, interviews, or anyone who wants the fastest possible result.
We monitor sensitivity throughout and adjust as needed, this is not a set-it-and-walk-away process.
Custom-fitted trays made from your impressions hold professional-strength gel against your teeth. Worn 30–60 minutes daily for 2 weeks, results build gradually to a natural-looking brightness.
Best for: patients who prefer a slower process, want to maintain results long-term, or are more sensitive.
The trays are yours to keep, reorder gel anytime for touch-ups at home.
Professional whitening uses hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 15–40%, significantly higher than anything available over the counter. The result is faster, more dramatic whitening that actually reaches deeper stains.
Store-bought trays are one-size-fits-none. They leak gel onto your gums, cause unnecessary irritation, and don’t keep the whitening agent in full contact with your teeth. Custom trays are made from your exact dental impression, no gaps, no leakage.
Professional whitening achieves deeper penetration of the tooth enamel. Combined with proper maintenance (and your custom touch-up trays), results last 1–3 years vs. weeks with store-bought strips.
Whitening works on some types of staining, not all. Here’s a quick guide. We’ll evaluate your specific situation at your free consultation.

Professional whitening -- in-office or take-home -- delivers a noticeably brighter smile. Results vary by starting shade and treatment selected.
Smile Science is owned entirely by Dr. Dawson and Dr. Turke -- two practicing dentists with no outside investors, no DSO involvement, and no private equity. The doctors making your treatment decisions are the same people whose names are on the practice.
Your treatment plan is designed by your doctor -- not a sales coordinator with a revenue target.
Whitening results last longest when you follow a consistent aftercare routine. These four habits make the biggest difference.
Coffee, red wine, tea, tomato sauce, soy sauce, and dark berries can re-stain enamel while your pores are still open post-whitening. The first 48 hours are the highest-risk window.
A quick water rinse after staining beverages significantly reduces re-staining. Using a straw for iced coffee or tea helps keep pigmented liquids away from tooth surfaces.
Patients who receive custom take-home trays can do a 2 to 3 night touch-up every 4 to 6 months. This is the most cost-effective way to keep your shade bright long-term without a full in-office visit.
Ask about combining your annual cleaning with a quick in-office whitening session. Most patients who do this maintain results indefinitely. We’ll note your shade at each visit so we can track changes over time.
