Professional whitening is different, and the results show it

Over-the-counter strips and trays work to a degree. But professional whitening from your Montrose teeth whitening dentist uses higher-concentration whitening agents, custom-fitted trays designed for your exact bite, and a process your dentist monitors from start to finish.

The result: faster, more consistent whitening across all surfaces — without the tooth sensitivity that comes from ill-fitting store-bought trays. At My Dear Dentist, Dr. Nour Amin and Dr. Mustafa Shinta approach whitening the same way they approach all cosmetic care: thoughtfully, safely, and with your comfort and realistic outcomes at the forefront.

Whitening options we offer

Take-Home Professional Whitening Trays

We take digital impressions of your teeth and have custom trays made to fit precisely. You’ll receive a professional-grade whitening gel — far stronger than what’s available at a available at a pharmacy, along with clear instructions for use at home.

Most patients complete a course of treatment over one to two weeks and see results that hold for months, depending on diet and lifestyle habits. Touch-up gel can be used periodically to maintain your shade.

Which shade is right for you?

Before recommending a whitening protocol, we assess your baseline tooth shade, discuss your aesthetic goals, and flag any restorations (crowns, veneers, bonding) that won’t change color with whitening. That last point matters — whitening your natural teeth before placing or updating any cosmetic work gives you better color consistency.

What makes teeth lose their brightness?

Most tooth discoloration is extrinsic: It happens on the outer enamel surface and responds well to professional whitening. Common causes include:

  • Coffee, tea, and red wine
  • Dark berries and sauces
  • Tobacco use
  • Natural aging, as enamel thins and the yellower dentin beneath shows through
Some discoloration is intrinsic: It develops inside the tooth, often from medication exposure during childhood, fluorosis, or previous dental work. Intrinsic staining typically doesn’t respond to whitening. If that’s the case for your teeth, Dr. Amin or Dr. Shinta will explain alternative options like veneers or cosmetic bonding.

Frequently asked questions from our Montrose teeth whitening patients

K

How long do professional whitening results last?

Most patients see results lasting six months to a year or more. Habits like daily coffee or tea will shorten the cycle; patients who limit staining foods and drinks often maintain their results longer. Touch-up gel extends results significantly.
K
L

Will whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening — this is normal and resolves within a day or two. Custom trays and professional-grade gel are formulated to minimize sensitivity compared to generic strip products. If you have a history of significant sensitivity, let us know before starting — we can adjust the protocol.
K

Can I whiten if I have crowns, veneers, or bonding?

Whitening gel works only on natural tooth enamel. Existing restorations won't change color. If your restorations are visible when you smile, whitening may create a color mismatch. We'll assess your situation and be upfront about what to expect.
K

Is professional whitening safe?

Yes. When used as directed, professional whitening treatments are safe and well-studied. The enamel is not damaged by the whitening process itself. The most common side effect — temporary sensitivity — is manageable and temporary.

How do I maintain my results?

Rinse after staining foods and drinks, use a whitening toothpaste for maintenance, and schedule touch-up applications as needed. Come in for your regular cleanings, which also remove surface staining.
