How can we help you?
Information and education are the keys to good health. Just as we believe in continuing education for ourselves, we recommend that our patients learn about their dental health. We are always happy to discuss your care with you, and we will never perform a procedure until you’ve been informed about the procedure we are treating and have given us your approval to proceed.
If you have a question, take a look at this selection of questions we are often asked about our practice, the services we offer, and dentistry in general. If your question isn’t answered here or if you need more information, you are always welcome to give us a call or send us an email using our convenient online form.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is an excellent way to boost your smile on a budget. And our professional teeth whitening in 48220 gives you options that consider your lifestyle. For those who have a lighter schedule, we offer in-office teeth whitening. For patients on the go, ask your Royal Oak dentist about our excellent take-home kit.
Our in-office teeth whitening relies on a unique system. The Sapphire Light and our prescription gel may whiten your teeth up to twelve shades within an hour. In-office whitening is the ideal choice if you have important plans on the horizon like a wedding or family portrait.
Our take-home kit lightens your teeth across the weeks and relies on a custom whitening tray and our prescription-strength gel. Simply follow the instructions provided by a member of our dental team.
To remove tooth stains safely, we recommend whitening your smile under the directions of a dentist or dental professional. Store-bought products can be harsh and damage your enamel. With professional teeth whitening, your dentist gives you the all-clear—meaning the product we offer and the strength of your whitening gel is safe for your smile. This isn’t the case with treatments not provided by a dentist.

Tooth staining is among the most common complaints people in Royal Oak, MI, have about their smiles. If you have a smile that has been dulled by yellowing teeth, teeth whitening may be the right choice for you. This treatment works by applying whitening agents to your front-facing tooth surfaces. However, one concern people have about teeth whitening concerns safety. Therefore, the first step in determining if you’re a good candidate for whitening is to establish your current oral health status.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are the common active ingredients in many teeth whitening treatments. These compounds are safe for the outsides of your teeth because your tooth enamel is extremely hard. But if you have a cavity, which is a hole in your tooth enamel, the whitening agents may penetrate your enamel into your dentin, irritating.
This is one of the reasons to choose professional teeth whitening at Family Dentistry of Royal Oak. We can thoroughly examine your teeth before treatment, and if you have any cavities, we can fill them first. We aim to ensure you receive the most effective whitening results without compromising safety.
Here are a few other ways we help you make your whitening treatments better:
- A professional teeth cleaning prepares your teeth, removing debris that might block whitening.
- Our whitening agents are at prescription strength, offering the best possible results.
- We monitor your teeth during treatment to ensure no problems arise.
If you want a whiter smile but worry that your existing oral health may need help, we encourage you to call our office to learn more about professional teeth whitening options.
Teeth discolor for various reasons, including age, the foods we eat, the beverages we consume, and certain medications. Cosmetic dentistry, including professional teeth whitening in Royal Oak, MI, can help.

If your stains are resistant to bleaching, we can also discuss other options, including porcelain veneers. Veneers are tooth shells customized to match your smile. After removing a bit of enamel, your dentist cements the veneers over the teeth you'd like to treat. Veneers are permanent restorations and must be replaced if damaged.
