Choose the whitening approach that fits you
In-office whitening is a dentist-provided option for patients who prefer care in the practice. Take-home whitening uses trays and dentist-directed gel so you can follow a personalized plan at home. At a consultation, our doctors can explain the differences and recommend the approach that fits your smile.
Ross & Durrett Family Dental has served the Lake Forest community since 1968. That continuity supports a thoughtful approach to cosmetic care, with clear recommendations and an outcome intended to complement your natural appearance.

Start with an honest look at your smile
Whitening is most predictable for some surface and tooth discolorations, while deeper or internal discoloration can respond differently. Existing fillings, crowns, veneers, and other restorations generally do not change color with external whitening, so our doctors can review them when discussing the result you can reasonably expect.
Before your visit, share your oral health, sensitivity history, current restorations, and goals so our doctors can recommend a path for your smile.

Know what to expect after whitening
Whitening is a cosmetic decision, not a race to the lightest possible shade. Our doctors will explain how to use any dentist-provided take-home materials as directed and what changes are realistic for your smile. Tooth sensitivity or temporary gum irritation can occur with bleaching, so share concerns during your visit.

Questions, answered clearly
Good questions are welcome.
Will teeth whitening change the color of my fillings, crowns, or veneers?
Generally, no. Restorative materials do not typically change color with external whitening. Our doctors can review existing restorations and discuss whether whitening alone is likely to create the result you want.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation are possible with bleaching. Tell your dentist about existing sensitivity or discomfort so the approach can be discussed carefully.
