Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment designed to brighten your smile and boost your confidence. At Georgetown Dental Spa, we offer professional teeth whitening services that can transform the appearance of your teeth in just one visit. Our treatments use a potent yet safe whitening gel that effectively reduces the appearance of stains, discoloration and yellowing on the tooth enamel.
We provide both in-office and take-home whitening options to fit your lifestyle. In-office whitening involves applying the whitening gel to your teeth and using a special light to accelerate the whitening process. This method delivers immediate results, making your teeth several shades whiter in just one appointment. Our take-home whitening kits include custom-fitted trays and a professional-grade whitening gel, allowing you to achieve gradual whitening in the comfort of your own home.
Professional teeth whitening is particularly effective against stains caused by:
- The natural aging process
- Poor dental hygiene
- Consumption of stain-causing beverages like coffee, tea, wine and soda
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Certain illnesses and medications
- Excessive fluoride exposure
Our skilled dentist will work closely with you to determine the best whitening option for your needs and ensure you achieve the desired level of brightness. We understand that every smile is unique, so we tailor our treatments to deliver the best possible results for each patient.

FAQ
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
▾
The longevity of teeth whitening results can vary depending on individual habits and oral care routines. Generally, professional teeth whitening can last from six months to two years. To maintain your bright smile, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, avoid foods and beverages that stain and consider periodic touch-up treatments as recommended by our dentist and team.
Is professional teeth whitening safe for my teeth?
▾
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist. The whitening gel used in professional treatments is specially formulated to be effective while minimizing sensitivity and protecting your tooth enamel. Our dental team ensures that the treatment is tailored to your needs, reducing the risk of adverse effects and providing a safe, comfortable experience.
What can I expect during an in-office teeth whitening treatment?
▾
During an in-office teeth whitening treatment, our dentist will first protect your gums and lips to prevent irritation. Then, a powerful whitening gel is applied to your teeth. A special light may be used to enhance the whitening process. The treatment usually takes about an hour, and you can expect your teeth to be several shades whiter by the end of the session, with immediate and noticeable results.
What can I expect during a take-home teeth whitening treatment?
▾
For take-home teeth whitening, our dentist will provide custom-fitted trays and a professional-grade whitening gel. You will fill the trays with the gel and wear them for a specified amount of time each day, usually for a couple of weeks. The trays ensure even application of the gel, leading to gradual whitening. You will receive detailed instructions to maximize effectiveness and minimize sensitivity during the treatment.
Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains and discoloration?
▾
Teeth whitening is effective for many types of surface stains and discoloration caused by aging, foods, beverages and tobacco use. However, it may not be as effective for intrinsic stains, such as those caused by certain medications or dental fluorosis. Our dentist can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment to achieve the best possible results for your smile.
Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?
▾
The most common side effect of teeth whitening is temporary tooth sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few days after treatment. Some patients may also experience mild gum irritation. Using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth and following your post-treatment care instructions can help manage these side effects. It is important to consult with our dentist if you have any concerns or experience persistent discomfort.
Why should I choose professional teeth whitening?
▾
Choosing professional teeth whitening ensures a safer and more effective treatment compared to over-the-counter products. Professional treatments use higher concentrations of whitening agents, leading to more noticeable and longer-lasting results. Additionally, the process is supervised by our dentist, reducing the risk of gum irritation and tooth sensitivity. Personalized care and tailored treatments provide the best outcome for achieving your desired level of whiteness.
