Teeth Whitening in Raleigh, NC - Six Forks

Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective way to brighten your smile by removing stains and discoloration from your teeth. We use professional-grade whitening solutions applied by expert professionals to provide fast, noticeable, and lasting results. Professional teeth whitening may be the right choice for you if you're looking for a brighter, healthier-looking smile.

Both take-home trays and in-office teeth whitening in Six Forks use professional-strength gels that are not available over the counter, but here are the key differences:

In-office ZOOM! This option delivers the fastest results. You can get 5–8 shades whiter in just 60 minutes for an immediate confidence boost. You will pay $400–$800 and have a dentist supervising the process. This is ideal for upcoming events or special occasions and is considered the best teeth whitening in Raleigh, NC.

Custom take-home trays: This option is very convenient. Over 1–2 weeks, you will wear them nightly and get your teeth 3–6 shades brighter. Take-home trays are perfect for gradual brightening and touch-ups. It is highly maintenance-friendly and only costs $200–$400.

Typically, our in-office teeth whitening in Six Forks lasts anywhere from 1 to 3 years with the right care. If you prefer our take-home trays, you can expect your results to stay for about 6 to 18 months. To keep your smile looking its best, we recommend quick touch-ups every 6 to 12 months. Try to avoid colored drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as tobacco, which can cause new stains. Keep up with brushing and flossing to extend your whitening results.

Our professional teeth whitening in Six Forks, Raleigh, is completely enamel-safe and ADA-approved. While some patients experience temporary sensitivity, it usually resolves within 24–48 hours. We use special fluoride and potassium nitrate-enriched gels specifically designed to minimize any discomfort and protect your smile. We don't recommend whitening treatments for children under 16, pregnant or nursing women, or patients with severe gum disease or exposed roots.

• Aging that causes enamel thinning and reveals yellow dentin
• Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics and antihistamines
