Brighten Your Smile with Safe, Effective Whitening Options

A brighter, whiter smile can leave a lasting impression—and at Core Dentistry, we make it easier than ever to achieve. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or simply want to boost your confidence, our professional teeth whitening treatments can help you erase years of discoloration with fast, noticeable results.

Led by Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, DMD FAGD and Dr. Erika Burley, DMD, our team offers both in-office and take-home whitening options designed to safely and effectively brighten your smile on your terms.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, enamel can become stained by common factors such as:

  • Coffee, tea, and red wine
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Dark-colored fruits and sauces
  • Natural aging and enamel thinning
  • Certain medications

Unlike drugstore products, professional teeth whitening delivers faster, more predictable results and is supervised by dental professionals to ensure safety and comfort. It’s also ideal for patients who have tried over-the-counter options with little success.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you're looking for immediate results, our in-office whitening treatment is the most effective option. In just one visit, we can brighten your smile several shades using a powerful, professional-grade whitening gel activated under controlled conditions.

Benefits of in-office whitening include:

  • Dramatic results in about an hour
  • Safe application with minimal tooth sensitivity
  • Ideal for special events like weddings, interviews, or photos
  • Customizable intensity based on your comfort level and goals

This treatment is especially popular among patients also undergoing smile makeovers or other forms of cosmetic dentistry.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

Prefer to whiten your teeth at home on your own schedule? Our take-home teeth whitening kits offer a convenient, professional-strength solution you can trust—without the mess or guesswork of store-bought products.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Custom-Fit Trays
    We take impressions of your teeth to create comfortable whitening trays that ensure even application and protect your gums.
  2. Professional-Strength Gel
    You'll receive a supply of whitening gel that’s safe, effective, and designed to work with your custom trays.
  3. Gradual Brightening
    Use the trays for a short period each day over 1–2 weeks to achieve a naturally whiter smile at your own pace.

Take-home whitening is a great option for those who prefer gradual results or want to touch up after in-office treatment.

Maintaining Your Bright Smile

To extend the results of your whitening treatment, we recommend:

  • Brushing and flossing daily
  • Reducing consumption of dark-staining foods and drinks
  • Using a straw when drinking beverages that stain
  • Quitting tobacco products
  • Visiting us for routine dental cleanings and exams

We also offer touch-up kits for patients who want to maintain their whitening results long-term.

FAQs About Teeth Whitening

How long does teeth whitening last?

Results can last from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle habits and oral hygiene. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain brightness.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes. When performed under the guidance of a dental professional, whitening is safe and effective. We use high-quality products that minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel.

Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No. Whitening treatments are effective on natural teeth but won’t change the color of restorations such as veneers, crowns, or bonding. If needed, we can discuss options to update these restorations to match your whiter smile.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have sensitive teeth?

Yes, but we’ll take extra care. Our products are designed to reduce sensitivity, and we can tailor your treatment to keep you comfortable throughout the process.

Is in-office whitening better than at-home kits?

In-office whitening delivers faster and more dramatic results, while take-home kits provide flexibility and gradual brightening. We’ll help you choose the best option based on your goals and lifestyle.
