In-Office Teeth Whitening Process
1. Smile Evaluation & Planning
Dr. Thomas Bowles and Dr. Garrett Karow review your goals and determine the best approach for your whitening treatment.
2. Preparation
Your teeth are prepared for whitening, which may include a cleaning to remove plaque and surface stains so the whitening gel can work more effectively. We also create a custom protective barrier to help keep you comfortable throughout the process.
3. Professional Whitening Application
A high-quality whitening solution is carefully applied to each tooth for even, natural-looking results.
4. Monitored Whitening Process
As the whitening gel works to lift stains, your treatment is closely monitored to ensure comfort, safety, and consistent shade improvement.
5. Results & Ongoing Maintenance
Once complete, we review your results and provide personalized guidance to help you maintain your brighter smile. Every patient also receives custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel for convenient at-home touch-ups over time.
Since my initial visit last year, I’ve had some minor dental work and even tried out their in-office teeth whitening service, which turned out awesome results!

Teeth Whitening FAQ
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Take?
The exact timeline can vary based on the level of staining and your desired shade, but most patients see noticeable results in one visit. Some may benefit from additional treatments or at-home touch-ups to achieve their desired level of whitening.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
Results can last from several months to a few years depending on your habits, such as coffee, tea, or red wine consumption. Following aftercare recommendations and using take-home whitening trays can help maintain your results over time.
How Often Do I Need to Get My Teeth Whitened?
This depends on your goals and lifestyle. Many patients maintain their results with occasional touch-ups using their custom take-home whitening system, rather than repeating full in-office treatments.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective option when performed under the guidance of a dentist. Treatments are carefully monitored and customized to help minimize sensitivity while achieving even, natural-looking results.
