Teeth Whitening in Scarsdale, NY

A professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to your teeth and activated under a controlled light. The entire appointment takes 1–2 hours. You walk out the same day with results that are several shades lighter. The dentist monitors the process throughout to manage sensitivity and ensure even coverage.

We take impressions of your teeth and fabricate trays that fit precisely. You receive professional-strength whitening gel and wear the trays at home for 30–60 minutes per day. Most patients see full results in 1–2 weeks. The trays are reusable — you can purchase additional gel for future touch-ups.

Sensitivity during or after whitening is common but manageable. We use lower-concentration gel, shorter application cycles, and apply desensitizing agents before and after treatment. For patients with chronic sensitivity, the take-home tray option with a gentler formula is usually the better fit. We adjust the protocol based on how your teeth respond.

Whitening results typically last 6–12 months depending on diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco cause the most staining. If you have custom trays, you can purchase gel refills and do a quick touch-up at home every few months. In-office touch-ups are shorter than the initial session — usually about 30–45 minutes.
