Professional Teeth Whitening in Spokane Valley, WA
Countless people are dissatisfied with dulled or yellowed teeth, which take away from their radiant smiles. Discolored teeth can be linked to poor oral hygiene, as well as the effects of aging and weakened dental structures caused by various factors.
Professional teeth whitening procedures simplify the path to a bright smile, often achievable within a single treatment session. This process involves the application of a hydrogen peroxide gel onto the teeth, followed by the activation of the gel to release oxygen ions. These ions flood the teeth, effectively breaking down both internal and external stains. This bleaching process is highly efficient and safe, causing minimal to no discomfort.

How is professional teeth whitening performed?
Our office offers two types of professional whitening services:
- In-office. These procedures start by covering up vulnerable areas inside the mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent exposure to the peroxide. Then, we apply a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate it. You will rest comfortably for a short time until the gel does its work. Then we remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.
- Custom-made trays. We will take a custom mold of your teeth to make clear trays that you take home, along with a whitening gel. These trays will help minimize the risk of whitening gel affecting your gums or mouth, and you can whiten your teeth from the comfort of your home. All you have to do is place the whitening gel inside the trays and place the trays in your mouth.

Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. Professional whitening is especially effective for removing stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and the natural aging process. However, patients with untreated cavities, gum disease, severe tooth sensitivity, or certain types of discoloration may need other treatments before whitening. A dental evaluation can help determine whether teeth whitening is the right option for achieving your desired results.
