Brighten Your Smile with Safe, Professional Results
A brighter smile can boost your confidence and make a lasting first impression. At Thomson Family Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions that are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual goals. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to refresh your smile, our in-office and take-home whitening options deliver noticeable results without damaging your teeth or gums.
Unlike over-the-counter products that can be inconsistent or harsh, our professional whitening treatments are designed to lift deep-set stains and restore the natural vibrancy of your enamel—all under the supervision of experienced dental professionals.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Teeth naturally darken over time due to aging, lifestyle habits, and certain foods or medications. While whitening toothpaste and store-bought strips can offer some improvement, they rarely address deeper discoloration effectively. Our custom treatments provide:
- Faster, more predictable results
- Even whitening across all visible teeth
- Reduced risk of sensitivity or gum irritation
- Guidance from your trusted dental team
We also help you identify the source of discoloration—whether it's surface stains from coffee or tea, or deeper internal staining—and recommend the most effective approach for your case.

Whitening Options Available at Thomson Family Dental
We offer both in-office and at-home whitening systems, depending on your preferences and timeline:
In-Office Whitening
Ideal for patients who want immediate results, in-office whitening is performed during a single visit. We apply a powerful, light-activated gel to the teeth, which breaks up stains and significantly brightens enamel within about an hour. It’s perfect for weddings, interviews, or events where you want your best smile quickly.
Custom Take-Home Trays
If you prefer to whiten gradually from home, we’ll create custom trays that fit your teeth precisely. You’ll receive professional-grade whitening gel and easy-to-follow instructions. Most patients begin seeing results within a few days, with full brightness achieved in one to two weeks.
Not sure which option is best for you? We’ll review your lifestyle, dental history, and goals during your consultation to help you decide.
Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a great option for many adults and teens. However, it’s not recommended for everyone. We’ll perform a full exam to ensure whitening is appropriate and safe in your case. Good candidates typically:
- Have healthy gums and teeth free of decay
- Want to treat yellowing or staining from food, beverages, or tobacco
- Do not have extensive restorations on front teeth (such as crowns or veneers)
If you have dental restorations, we’ll discuss your options for matching or replacing them after whitening. Learn more about enhancing your smile holistically with our porcelain veneers and other treatments.
How to Maintain Your Whiter Smile
After whitening, your results can last for months or even years with proper care. We recommend:
- Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and berries
- Brushing twice daily with a whitening or enamel-safe toothpaste
- Attending regular cleanings to remove surface buildup
- Touching up with your take-home trays every few months if needed
- Avoiding tobacco products, which quickly discolor enamel
Our team will also show you how to care for your enamel to prevent long-term sensitivity or damage.
FAQs About Teeth Whitening
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. When performed or supervised by a dental professional, whitening is a safe and effective procedure. We only use products approved for use on natural enamel and monitor for sensitivity or side effects.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results vary based on your oral care habits and lifestyle. On average, in-office results last up to a year or more with regular maintenance.
Will whitening work on crowns or fillings?
Whitening only affects natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, we may discuss options like replacing crowns or enhancing your smile with other cosmetic solutions.
Is there a difference between in-office and store-bought whitening?
Yes. Professional whitening is stronger, more controlled, and produces faster, more even results than store-bought kits.
Can teens whiten their teeth?
Yes, but with supervision. We generally recommend waiting until most permanent teeth have erupted. A dental exam will help determine if whitening is appropriate.
