Types of Teeth Whitening Services
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office teeth whitening is a great option for immediate results. In about an hours time, our experienced dental staff apply our strongest whitening solution to your teeth. The solution is designed to maximize the whiteness of your teeth and leave you with a brighter, glowing smile.
The Process
The whitening process is simple and painless. During your appointment, our dental assistant will place a barrier around your teeth to protect your gums from the high-strength whitening.
Hale Family Dentistry uses 40% hydrogen peroxide The whitening is painted on your teeth and left for about 20 minutes. You can have up to three applications of 20 minutes depending on your smile goals.
Ideally, we would like your teeth to nice and clean prior to your whitening appointment. If you haven’t had a dental cleaning in awhile, we will recommend a cleaning prior to bleaching.
In addition, Dr. Hale would also like to have a mouth free of decay, meaning no outstanding treatment needed. Dental whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure. We want to ensure good oral health or the teeth, gums, and mouth prior to doing whitening treatment.

Custom Trays for Teeth Whitening
Take home whitening trays are great because they last for many years. Once or twice a year you can just purchase refill syringes. They are also more eco-friendly compared to the pre-filled trays we offer which are disposable.
Disposable Trays for Whitening
Our patients really enjoy the disposable, pre-filled trays. Unlike any other whitening products on the market, they are pre-filled trays that comes with tray to input the tray in your mouth. They don’t slip around or leak bleaching gel outside of the tray like some of their competitors.
Depending on your goals, wearing the trays for as little as 10 minutes each day for 7-10 days can create great results! These come in 10% and 15% strength and mint or melon flavors.
