Professional teeth whitening at CrossPointe Dental lightens the natural color of your teeth safely and effectively. Unlike over-the-counter products, our treatments use professional-grade whitening agents that penetrate enamel to break apart deep stains and discoloration.
We offer both in-office whitening for dramatic same-day results and custom take-home trays for gradual brightening on your schedule. Dr. Damon P. Swenson will recommend the best approach based on your staining type and sensitivity level.

How Professional Whitening Works
In-Office Whitening: A protective barrier is placed on your gums, then a high-concentration gel is applied to teeth and activated with a special light. Results are visible in about an hour.
Take-Home Trays: Custom-fitted trays are made from impressions of your teeth. You fill them with professional-grade gel and wear them for a prescribed time each day, typically for one to two weeks.
Both options are designed to minimize sensitivity while delivering results that store-bought products cannot match.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

With good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods and drinks, results can last one to three years. Periodic touch-ups help maintain brightness.
Whitening gels only lighten natural enamel. If you have visible restorations, your dentist may recommend whitening first, then matching new restorations to your brighter shade.
Common causes include coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, aging, and certain medications. Surface stains respond well to whitening, while deeper intrinsic stains may need alternative treatments.
