Brighten your smile without harming enamel
Professional whitening uses peroxide-based gel to break down stains on and inside the enamel. In-office ZOOM whitening uses a stronger gel for faster results. Take-home trays use a milder gel over several days or weeks.
Stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco usually lighten well. Some stains from medication or injury do not, and bonding or veneers may work better.
Crowns, veneers, and fillings do not change color. We check your existing dental work first so your results look even.
Store-bought products can work, but they are less controlled and their trays do not fit your teeth. That can mean uneven results or irritated gums.
An exam first also catches problems like cavities or gum recession that should be treated before whitening.
What are the benefits of professional whitening?
Noticeable results
Most patients see their teeth lighten by several shades.
Safer than guessing
Dentist-guided whitening protects enamel and gums.
Even results
Custom trays hold the gel evenly against every tooth.
Your choice of pace
In-office for speed or take-home for convenience.
Managed sensitivity
We adjust treatment if your teeth get sensitive.
A great first step
Whiten first, then match any new veneers to your brighter shade.
The Saratoga Smiles whitening process
Exam
We find the cause of discoloration and make sure teeth and gums are healthy enough to whiten. New patients start with a first visit.
Choosing your method
We discuss ZOOM in-office, take-home trays, or both, and what results to expect.
In-office treatment
Your gums are protected and the gel is applied in timed rounds during one visit.
Take-home trays
If you choose trays, we make them from impressions of your teeth and show you how to use them.
Follow-up
We check your results and sensitivity and talk about keeping your smile bright.
Fee-for-service: you get a written estimate before treatment. We are not in-network with any plan, and we help you with your out-of-network claim. Financing through Proceed Finance, Cherry, and CareCredit. Insurance and payment details
Have questions about teeth whitening?
How white will my teeth get?
Results vary with your natural tooth color and the type of stain. Most patients see their teeth lighten by several shades. We do not promise a specific shade.
Does whitening hurt?
Some patients feel temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. It usually fades within a few days, and we can adjust treatment if needed.
How long do results last?
Results often last one to three years, depending on habits like coffee, tea, wine, and smoking. Touch-ups with take-home trays help.
Can I whiten crowns or veneers?
No. Crowns, veneers, and fillings keep their color. If they no longer match after whitening, replacing them may be an option.
When is payment due, and can I use my insurance?
Payment is due at the time of service, and you receive a written estimate before treatment begins. Saratoga Smiles is fee-for-service and not in-network with any plan. You receive an itemized, coded statement for your out-of-network claim, our team walks you through the claim process, and your plan reimburses you directly. See insurance and payment details.
