A Whiter Smile Starts with Professional Whitening You Can Trust
If your smile looks dull, yellowed, or stained from coffee, wine, aging, or everyday habits, professional teeth whitening can dramatically enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. At ToothTime Family Dentistry, we offer safe and effective take-home whitening solutions tailored to fit your lifestyle and smile goals—helping you achieve noticeable, lasting results in the comfort of your own home.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Tooth staining is incredibly common and can occur for a variety of reasons. These include:
- Consumption of dark beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Natural aging that causes enamel to thin
- Certain medications and medical treatments
- Inadequate brushing or flossing, which allows stains and plaque to build up
While over-the-counter products may seem convenient, they often fail to address deep-set stains. Our custom whitening kits provide a more powerful, precise approach with better, longer-lasting outcomes.
Customized Take-Home Whitening Kits
At ToothTime, we provide professional-grade whitening kits designed for safe and gradual results. Each kit includes custom-fitted trays and prescription-strength gel that penetrates beneath the enamel to break up deep discoloration—without irritating your gums or causing uneven whitening.
Benefits of Our Whitening Kits:
- Personalized trays for precise, comfortable fit
- Stronger whitening agents than store-bought options
- Gradual brightening to minimize sensitivity
- Control over when and how often you whiten
- Visible improvement in as little as 7–10 days
Whether you're preparing for an event or simply want to feel more confident, our whitening kits are a simple way to enhance your smile from home.
Professional vs. Store-Bought Whitening Products
Choosing professional care comes with key advantages over one-size-fits-all products from the drugstore. Here's how they compare:
Professional Whitening from ToothTime:
- Uses custom trays for full, even whitening
- Delivers stronger, faster results with dental supervision
- Reduces gum and tooth sensitivity
- Targets both surface and deep stains
- Results are longer-lasting with proper care
Over-the-Counter Whitening:
- Generic trays or strips can miss spots
- Lower-strength gel takes longer to work
- Higher chance of sensitivity and irritation
- Results vary and often require repeated use
- Minimal improvement for stubborn discoloration
For best results, we recommend starting with a professional cleaning. Visit our Cleanings & Exams page to learn how routine care can improve your whitening outcome.

Once your teeth are brighter, a few simple steps can help maintain the results:
- Limit dark beverages and use a straw when possible
- Brush and floss regularly to remove new stains
- Avoid smoking or tobacco products
- Schedule periodic touch-ups with your take-home kit
- Visit us for routine dental cleanings to remove surface stains

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does teeth whitening last?
Results can last from six months to two years depending on diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle habits. Touch-ups with your custom kit help prolong your bright smile.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild sensitivity, but our custom trays and gradual whitening approach help minimize discomfort.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening treatments only affect natural teeth. We’ll assess your smile and help coordinate treatments if you’re planning to update restorations post-whitening.
Is professional whitening better than whitening toothpaste?
Yes. Whitening toothpaste can only remove surface stains. Our take-home kits penetrate deeper for noticeable and lasting results.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients begin seeing improvement within a week, with full results visible after 10–14 days of consistent use.
