We begin with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and existing restorations, then recommend the whitening option that will give you the best results with minimal sensitivity.
Personalized Teeth Whitening Options
Because every smile is different, we provide several professional systems and will help you choose the one that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

- Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays Custom-fitted trays with professional-grade gel that outperform store-bought kits while helping control sensitivity.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
Professional whitening gives you safer, more predictable results than drugstore strips or pastes, with guidance from a dentist who knows your smile.
- Deeper Stain Removal Professional formulas penetrate the enamel more effectively to target stains that at-home kits often leave behind.
- Even, Natural-Looking Results Custom application helps avoid patchiness or over-whitening, so your smile looks bright but still natural.
- Personalized for Your Sensitivity We adjust strength, timing, and technique to protect sensitive teeth and gums while still achieving great results.
- Protection for Enamel and Gums Dental supervision and custom trays reduce the risk of gum irritation, chemical burns, and enamel damage.

Teeth Whitening: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Teeth Whitening Safe for My Enamel?
- Yes. When teeth whitening is performed or supervised by a dentist, it is designed to be safe for your enamel and gums. At Wauwatosa Dental Arts, we evaluate your oral health first and choose products and strengths that protect your teeth while still delivering effective results.
- How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
- Most patients enjoy a brighter smile for about 6–12 months, depending on diet and habits. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, along with good home care, can help your results last longer. Many patients choose quick touch-up treatments once or twice a year.
- Will Whitening Work on Crowns, Veneers, or Fillings?
- Whitening gels do not change the color of porcelain crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings. We will review any existing restorations and may recommend whitening first, then updating visible restorations to match your new tooth shade if needed.
- Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
- Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. We minimize this by adjusting treatment strength and timing, using desensitizing products when needed, and recommending appropriate at-home care. Sensitivity usually fades within a few days.
- Can I Whiten My Teeth If I Have Gum Disease or Cavities?
- Whitening should only be done on a healthy mouth. If we find gum disease, cavities, or other issues, we will recommend treating those concerns first. Once your oral health is stable, we can safely move forward with whitening.
- What Is the Difference Between GLO and KöR Whitening?
- Both systems are professional-grade whitening options with different strengths. GLO combines warming light and gel for comfortable, low-sensitivity whitening, while KöR is specifically designed for deep, resistant stains. We will help you choose the option that best fits your goals and stain type.
- Are Take-Home Whitening Kits as Effective as In-Office Treatment?
- Custom take-home kits can achieve excellent results over a longer period of time, especially when used as directed. In-office whitening provides the fastest change in a single visit. Many patients choose a combination of in-office and take-home whitening for maintenance and long-term brightness.
- How Can I Keep My Smile White After Treatment?
- Brush and floss regularly, limit dark or acidic drinks, rinse with water after consuming staining foods, and avoid tobacco products. Using a straw with darker beverages and scheduling periodic touch-up whitening at Wauwatosa Dental Arts can also help maintain your bright results.
- Can Teens Get Their Teeth Whitened?
- Teens may be candidates for whitening, but we always perform an exam first and require parental consent. We will confirm that their teeth and gums are healthy and recommend age-appropriate options that protect developing teeth.
- Is Teeth Whitening Covered by Insurance?
- Most dental insurance plans consider whitening a cosmetic treatment and do not provide coverage. Our team will review your benefits, discuss costs in advance, and help you explore payment or financing options so you can choose the whitening plan that works best for you.
