What Is Professional Whitening?
Professional whitening delivers dramatic, safe, and lasting results that over-the-counter products cannot match. Dr. Sands offers both in-office chair-side whitening for immediate transformation and custom take-home systems for convenience — or a combination for optimal results.
Candidacy
Who Is This For?
Good Candidates
Ideal for patients with staining from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or natural age-related discoloration. Perfect for those wanting a brighter smile before a special event or as a complement to other cosmetic treatments.
Not Recommended For
Not recommended for patients with existing restorations (veneers, crowns, fillings) that won't respond to whitening agents. Active gum disease or tooth sensitivity may require pretreatment.
Process
What to Expect
Shade Assessment & Evaluation
Dr. Sands evaluates your current shade, identifies the type of staining, and checks for any sensitivity concerns. A custom whitening plan is designed for your specific needs.
Professional-Grade Application
In-office whitening uses a high-concentration gel with advanced light activation. The procedure takes approximately one hour and can lighten teeth by several shades in a single visit.
Take-Home Maintenance
Custom-fitted trays and professional-strength gel allow you to maintain and enhance results from home. Dr. Sands provides precise usage instructions for optimal safety and efficacy.
Long-Term Results Monitoring
Regular check-ups track your results and address any sensitivity or touch-up needs. With proper care, professional whitening results last 12–24 months or longer.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years or longer. We use the highest-grade materials and custom fabrication to ensure maximum longevity.
Does the veneer process hurt?
Minimal to no discomfort. We use advanced numbing techniques, and most patients describe the process as completely painless. You'll leave with a temporary smile the same day.
How many visits does a smile makeover require?
Most smile makeovers are completed in two to three visits. The first for consultation and digital design, the second for preparation and temporaries, and the third for final placement.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we work with several premium medical financing partners to make your dream smile accessible. Our patient concierge will discuss all options during your consultation.
Can you match the exact shade of my teeth?
Absolutely. Our master ceramist works from high-resolution photography and custom shade mapping to create restorations that match perfectly — or achieve your ideal shade.

Yes, we regularly see patients from Dubai, London, Tokyo, and beyond. We coordinate travel-friendly treatment schedules and offer virtual consultations for international clients.
