A Brighter, More Confident Smile Starts Here

Our experienced dentists—Dr. Michelle Saunders, Dr. Justin Anderson, Dr. Lesley R. Nellor, and Dr. Daniel Davis—tailor every whitening plan to your unique needs, with options that fit your schedule and sensitivity level.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, food, drinks, tobacco use, and aging can dull your teeth and leave stubborn stains behind. Store-bought kits promise results but often fall short—or cause sensitivity. At Jayhawk Dental, our professional teeth whitening services provide:

  • Stronger, longer-lasting results
  • Custom-fitted trays for better coverage
  • Reduced risk of gum irritation
  • Safer materials monitored by a licensed dentist
  • Options for in-office or at-home treatment

Whether you choose a same-day boost or a gradual at-home approach, we make whitening simple and effective.

Take Home Teeth Whitening Kits

Our most popular whitening option is Take Home Teeth Whitening. This system lets you whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home, using professional-grade gel and custom-made trays.

Here's how it works:

  1. Initial Visit
    We take quick impressions of your teeth to create personalized whitening trays.
  2. Custom Tray Fabrication
    Your trays are designed to fit snugly and evenly, ensuring full coverage and minimizing gel waste.
  3. At-Home Whitening
    You’ll receive a supply of prescription-strength whitening gel and instructions for safe, gradual use—usually worn for 30–60 minutes per day over 1–2 weeks.

This option is ideal for patients who want more control over their whitening timeline, or those who prefer to avoid in-office treatments.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

Even with great brushing habits, your teeth can become stained from:

  • Coffee, tea, red wine, and soda
  • Tobacco products
  • Natural aging and thinning enamel
  • Certain medications
  • Poor oral hygiene

Our whitening treatments can lift both surface stains and deeper discoloration, restoring a cleaner, brighter appearance.

Can Everyone Whiten Their Teeth?

Most adults and teens are good candidates for teeth whitening, but it may not be suitable if you have:

  • Untreated cavities or gum disease
  • Dental restorations like crowns or veneers in the front teeth
  • Extremely sensitive teeth or enamel defects

We’ll assess your oral health during your dental exam to ensure whitening is safe and effective for you.

Is professional whitening better than store-bought kits?

Yes. Our whitening gel is stronger and safer, offering quicker, more noticeable results with less sensitivity than over-the-counter products.

Results vary, but most patients see their teeth lighten by 5–10 shades. We'll set realistic expectations based on your current tooth color and type of staining.

How long do results last?

Whitening can last 6 months to 2 years depending on your habits. Touch-up kits and good oral hygiene can help extend your results.

No. When performed under professional supervision, teeth whitening is a safe cosmetic procedure that does not harm enamel.

We can adjust the strength of your whitening gel and recommend desensitizing toothpaste to reduce discomfort during treatment.
