Teeth whitening: in-office vs take-home kits

A before and after image of teeth that have had a whitening treatment.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished your teeth were just a little brighter? A radiant smile can lift your confidence at work, in photos, and in everyday life.

At Fabulous Dentistry, both our in-office whitening and take-home whitening trays are professionally supervised by your dentist. That means you can trust they’re safe, effective, and tailored to your smile.

Let’s explore how each option works and which one might be right for you.

Why brighten your smile?

Whitening isn’t just about appearances, it’s about how you feel.

A brighter smile can:

  • Instantly refresh your overall look
  • Make you feel more polished and confident
  • Help you smile freely again

“This place is wonderful! My teeth are looking so amazing ever since I started my treatment here 10/10 recommended.” — Lex

In-office professional whitening

If you want immediate, dramatic results, our in-office whitening treatment is your fastest option.

Dr. Garcia and her team use advanced, dentist-supervised whitening systems that can lift deep stains and brighten your smile by several shades in a single visit.

Why patients love it:

  • Instant results: Noticeably whiter teeth in about an hour.
  • Safe and customised: Strength and application time are tailored to your needs.
  • Even, natural brightness: Every tooth receives focused attention for consistent results.
  • Comfort-first experience: Relax in our spa-like clinic while your smile transforms.

“I gotta give a huge shoutout to Dr. Fabiola Garcia, she’s the real deal! My teeth have never felt better.”

Take-home whitening trays

Prefer to whiten gradually in the comfort of your own home? Our dentist-prescribed take-home trays offer a professional-level alternative with beautiful, long-lasting results.

Each tray is custom-fitted to your teeth to ensure even whitening, comfort, and minimal sensitivity. You’ll receive a professional-strength whitening gel that delivers visible results in just a few days, with the flexibility to maintain your brightness anytime you like.

Why patients love it:

  • Professional-grade results at home
  • Custom trays for even coverage and comfort
  • Gentle, effective whitening with minimal sensitivity
  • Convenient and flexible: whiten on your own schedule
