- Enamel-safe treatment Designed to brighten while protecting tooth structure.
- Customized approach Tailored to your shade goals and sensitivity level.

IN SUMMARY→
Professional whitening uses a peroxide-based gel that penetrates the enamel to break apart the pigment molecules causing discoloration. In-office treatment applies a high-concentration gel under supervision with the gums isolated, while custom take-home trays deliver a gentler gel over a longer period. Because staining from food, tobacco, and aging responds differently from intrinsic discoloration, Lifetime Dental in Riverside, CA assesses the cause before recommending an approach.
