A brighter smile can make a noticeable difference in how you feel about your appearance, and professional teeth whitening offers a simple way to refresh your smile. At Harborside Dental Team in Canandaigua, NY, we provide customized whitening options designed to help lift discoloration and improve the overall brightness of your teeth. Depending on your goals, treatment can focus on the upper teeth, lower teeth, or both.
Our whitening process uses custom-made trays created from impressions of your teeth. Once your trays are ready, you’ll receive a professional bleaching solution to use at home on a schedule recommended by our dental team. With consistent use, the whitening gel helps reduce surface staining and lighten the natural color of your teeth. After you reach the shade you’re happy with, occasional touch-up treatments can help maintain your results.

What Can You Expect During Teeth Whitening?
We begin by taking impressions of your teeth so we can create whitening trays that fit comfortably and hold the bleaching gel against the tooth surfaces. You’ll use the trays for the recommended amount of time several times per week, allowing you to gradually whiten your smile from home. Because the system is professionally supervised, we can provide instructions based on your specific needs and help you manage any sensitivity that may occur.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for Everyone?
Professional whitening can be an effective option for many types of natural tooth staining, but results can vary depending on the cause and severity of discoloration. Existing crowns, fillings, and other restorations do not whiten the same way natural teeth do, so we’ll take those into account when discussing your goals. For deeper discoloration or cosmetic concerns that may not respond well to whitening, options such as porcelain veneers or crowns may be worth considering.
