What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your natural teeth by lifting stains and discoloration from the enamel. At Village Dental, we offer in-office whitening using advanced bleaching agents that deliver noticeable results—often within one hour. It’s a safe, effective way to brighten your smile and boost your confidence with immediate impact.
Whether you're prepping for a big event or just want to refresh your smile, our whitening system provides consistent results in a single visit, with long-term options available for touch-ups at home.
What to expect during the procedure…
The length of your session depends on your tooth sensitivity and the level of whitening desired. Most patients complete the procedure in under an hour.
Step-by-step overview:
We’ll begin by protecting your lips and gums with a barrier gel or retractor to isolate the teeth.
A high-strength whitening gel is applied to the surface of your teeth.
The gel is activated by a special light or left to sit in timed intervals to lift deep stains.
Multiple applications may be done during the appointment based on your goals and sensitivity levels.
Your results will be visible before you leave the chair—typically up to 6–8 shades lighter.

Some patients experience mild to moderate sensitivity for 24–48 hours, especially to cold foods or beverages. This is temporary and can be managed with sensitivity toothpaste.
-
Yes—when performed by dental professionals, whitening is non-invasive and does not damage your tooth structure.

With proper care, your results can last 6–12 months or longer. Avoiding certain foods and beverages (see below) can extend results significantly.
