What Is In-Office
Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a dentist-supervised treatment that uses professional-grade whitening agents to lift stains from coffee, tea, soda, red wine, tobacco, and aging. Your gums are protected before the agent goes on, and results show the same day. Whitening changes color only, so the shape and size of your teeth stay exactly as they are.
The goal isn’t the whitest shade possible. It’s the right shade for you.
Will Teeth Whitening Make My Teeth Sensitive?
Yes, teeth whitening can cause mild, temporary sensitivity, and it usually fades within 1 to 2 days. Sensitivity happens because the whitening agent briefly passes through the enamel to the layer beneath it. Worn enamel, gum recession, and cracked teeth make sensitivity more likely, so a dental exam before treatment lowers the risk. If whitening strips have hurt your teeth before, your dentist can adjust the treatment to keep you comfortable.
Will Whitening Work on Your Stains?
Whitening works best on yellow or brown surface stains from food, drinks, and age. Gray, medication-related, or single-tooth discoloration often responds less. Whitening also won’t change the color of crowns, fillings, bonding, or veneers, so your shade is planned to blend with any dental work you already have. If whitening alone won’t get you the result you want, Dr. Francis will say so and walk you through options like dental bonding or porcelain veneers.
What Brings Patients In
A patient from Goodyear noticed it in her new work headshot. Next to her coworkers, her smile looked a few shades darker, the result of years of iced coffee on the drive down the I-10. She’d tried 2 boxes of whitening strips, and both left her front teeth aching with only a slight change.
Her exam showed the staining was on the surface, and the bonding on 1 front tooth needed to be factored into her shade. She chose a brightness that matched her bonding instead of the brightest option. After 1 visit, her teeth looked noticeably cleaner, and coworkers told her she looked rested, not whitened.

Professional whitening results commonly last 1 to 3 years, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, soda, red wine, and smoking fade results faster. Using a straw and rinsing with water afterward slows new staining, and cleanings at your six-month checkups remove surface stains before they build up.
No. Whitening isn't painful, though some patients feel mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward. Your gums are protected during treatment, and Dr. Francis checks for worn enamel or recession beforehand. If store-bought products have hurt you before, mention it when you book.
Yes, for most people. Professional whitening agents are stronger, and the treatment is supervised, so results are more noticeable and even. Loose-fitting strips can leave uneven color and irritate your gums.
No. Whitening only changes the color of natural teeth. Crowns, fillings, bonding, and veneers stay the same shade, so your target shade is planned to blend with them.
Yes. Most dental insurance treats whitening as cosmetic and doesn't cover it. Francis Dental's in-house membership plan includes discounts on additional treatments, with no deductibles or yearly maximums, and in-office financing is available.
