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.

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.
