What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens the shade of your enamel by safely breaking down stains accumulated over time. At Dental Fam, we offer professional in-office whitening and customized take-home kits to suit your lifestyle and goals.

How it works

What to expect
An in-office session takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and most patients see several shades of improvement immediately. Some temporary sensitivity to cold is normal and usually fades within a day or two.
Recovery & aftercare
Avoid coffee, red wine, berries, and tobacco for at least 48 hours to lock in your new shade. Use a sensitivity toothpaste if needed, and schedule occasional touch-up sessions to keep your smile bright.
