⏳ How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Think of teeth whitening like tanning — the results build over time and with consistency. Some clients see dramatic results after one session, while others may need 2–3 sessions spaced 7–10 days apart for optimal whitening.

Your first session lays the foundation.
Your follow-ups deepen the glow.

We’ll create a custom plan that fits your smile goals and your schedule.

🔬 The Whitening Process

We use Lux Smile Labs-certified gel paired with a professional-grade LED light system to break down stains and lift them from the enamel — without harming your teeth or causing sensitivity.

Here's how it works:

  1. Apply our enamel-safe whitening gel (16% hydrogen peroxide or higher)

  2. Sit comfortably under our LED light for 15–30 minutes

  3. Repeat up to 3 rounds depending on your session type

  4. Finish with Enamel Boost (recommended) to reduce sensitivity and protect your glow

🌟 Real Results. Real Confidence.

You’ll leave your first session with a noticeably brighter smile — usually 2 to 8 shades lighter, depending on your starting point. We’ll take a before-and-after photo so you can see the difference right away.
