Several shades, not one
Professional-strength gel achieves a change that over-the-counter strips cannot match.
Treatment
Teeth Whitening
Professional in-office and custom take-home whitening that lifts years of coffee, tea and wine staining safely, with far better results than a drugstore kit.
Overview
Teeth Whitening at Monaco Dentistry
Whitening is the highest-impact cosmetic treatment per dollar in dentistry, and the one most often done badly at home. Professional whitening uses a stronger, properly buffered gel with your gums protected, guided by an exam that first rules out the things whitening cannot fix: decay, staining inside a tooth, or a crown that will not change colour no matter what you put on it.

Why it matters
What teeth whitening gives you.
Gums protected properly
In-office whitening isolates soft tissue before the gel goes on, the main cause of the burning people report from DIY kits.
Custom trays that fit
Take-home trays are made from a scan of your teeth, so gel stays on enamel instead of leaking onto gums.
Sensitivity managed
Desensitising agents and adjusted wear times mean sensitive teeth are usually still treatable.
How it works

“Twenty years of tea. I did the in-office session before my daughter's wedding and the photographs are the proof.”
“I had tried strips twice with almost no result. The custom trays did in a week what those never did.”
Questions
Teeth Whitening: your questions answered.
Is whitening safe for my enamel?
Professionally supervised whitening does not soften or damage enamel at the concentrations and exposure times we use. The risks worth managing are gum irritation and temporary sensitivity, both of which come from poorly fitted trays and unsupervised overuse.
Will it whiten my crowns, veneers or fillings?
No. Whitening only changes natural tooth structure. If you have visible crowns or white fillings on front teeth, we plan the sequence so those are matched or replaced to the new shade afterwards.
How long will it last?
Typically one to three years, depending on coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. A single top-up tray session brings it back rather than starting over.
My teeth are already sensitive. Can I still whiten?
Usually yes. We use desensitising agents, lower concentrations and shorter wear windows. Tell us at the exam so it is built into the plan from the start.
