Teeth Whitening in Farmington Hills, MI – Brighten Your Smile with In-Office and Take-Home Whitening
At Smile at Life Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening services to help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or want to enhance your smile as part of a larger dental treatment plan, our in-office and take-home whitening options are designed to deliver stunning results. Teeth whitening is a safe, fast, and effective way to remove stains and restore the natural brilliance of your smile.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, teeth can become discolored due to various factors such as diet, smoking, and aging. While over-the-counter whitening products are available, professional teeth whitening offers superior, long-lasting results by using stronger whitening agents that are safe and effective. At Smile at Life Dentistry, we offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home trays for convenient touch-ups.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our in-office teeth whitening treatment is perfect for patients who want fast and dramatic results. In just one visit, we can lighten your teeth several shades, giving you a noticeably brighter smile. The process is simple and takes about an hour:
- Preparation: We will apply a protective barrier to your gums and lips to ensure comfort during the treatment.
- Whitening Gel Application: A professional-grade whitening gel is applied to your teeth. The gel breaks down stains and discoloration, lifting them from the surface of your teeth.
- Activation: We may use a special light to activate the whitening gel and speed up the process, ensuring optimal results.
- Rinse and Reveal: Once the treatment is complete, your teeth will be noticeably whiter, giving you a brilliant smile.
In-office whitening is an excellent option if you need quick results for a special occasion, such as a wedding, job interview, or event where you want to look your best.
Take-Home Whitening Trays
For patients who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we offer custom take-home whitening trays. These trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly and are used with a professional-strength whitening gel that’s safe for home use. This option is ideal for those who want to whiten their teeth gradually or maintain their in-office whitening results.
The process is easy and includes:
- Custom Trays: We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays that ensure even application of the whitening gel.
- At-Home Use: You’ll receive the trays and whitening gel to use at home for the recommended duration, typically worn for 30-60 minutes a day over a few weeks.
- Touch-Ups: You can use the trays as needed for touch-ups or before important events to maintain your bright smile.
When to Consider Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a great option if you’re looking to enhance your smile for any reason. It’s especially effective before:
- Weddings
- Job interviews
- Graduations
- Reunions
- Vacations
- Other special events
Whitening can also be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as Invisalign, veneers, or dental bonding, to really bring out the best results and ensure a flawless smile makeover.

How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
With proper care, the results of professional teeth whitening can last for several months to a year or longer. Factors such as diet, smoking, and oral hygiene can impact how long your results last. To maintain your bright smile, avoid staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine, and be sure to brush and floss regularly. Our take-home trays are perfect for touch-ups when you notice your teeth beginning to dull, ensuring your smile stays radiant over time.
