Over time, coffee, tea, red wine, and natural aging can cause enamel to lose its youthful brilliance. At BB Dental Care, Dr. Bryanna Hubbard provides customized professional whitening treatments that lift stubborn deep stains safely, comfortably, and noticeably faster than drugstore strips.
Unlike over-the-counter whitening kits that use generic trays and low-concentration gels, professional dental whitening is tailored to your unique enamel sensitivity and shade goals. We offer both powerful in-office treatments for immediate results and custom take-home trays for gradual brightening on your own schedule.
Professional Whitening Options
- In-Office Laser / LED Whitening: Relax in our treatment chair while a high-potency, desensitizing whitening gel is activated with specialized light. You can achieve a smile 5 to 8 shades brighter in about an hour.
- Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays: We take digital 3D scans of your teeth to fabricate custom-fitted trays that hold professional-strength carbamide peroxide gel evenly against your enamel while protecting your gums.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Drugstore Kits?
- Custom Fit: Generic strips and boil-and-bite trays often leak bleaching gel onto sensitive gums, causing irritation and uneven patches. Our custom trays ensure even, targeted coverage.
- Medical-Grade Potency: Professional formulations penetrate deep into enamel micro-pores to break apart deep intrinsic stains.
- Sensitivity Protection: Our formulas include potassium nitrate and fluoride to soothe nerve endings and strengthen enamel during treatment.
- Clinical Supervision: Dr. Hubbard evaluates your oral health beforehand to ensure your gums, fillings, and enamel are healthy and ready for whitening.
