Enjoy a more brilliant smile with professional teeth whitening solutions
Feel the confidence of a brighter smile with professional teeth whitening solutions at Freedom Dental! Dr. Cheng Zhu and his team know how important it is to have a beautiful, five-star smile that helps improve the smile’s appearance and boosts self-confidence. A great smile speaks volumes about you and can help you in your personal and business relationships.
What sets professional whitening apart from over-the-counter options?
At Freedom Dental, we understand that many over-the-counter solutions do not provide the dramatic results you truly desire. Professional strength whitening treatments perform better, whitening up to eight shades brighter in a single visit. Results are faster, and many patients find it a wise investment and more affordable over time than drugstore variations.
What are my whitening options?
We are committed to ensuring patients have access to affordable care, and we find that with two different ways to brighten the smile, patients have choices in their dental decisions. With our whitening treatments, you have two options to consider:
- In-office professional whitening. With our in-office treatment, you can get same-day results, boosting your smile up to eight shades brighter in a single visit, enjoying these improvements for up to 12 months!
- Take-home professional whitening kits. If you are considering whitening in the privacy of your own home, we also offer professional strength bleaching gels in combination with customized whitening trays created in our office. The results are just as dramatic but occur over time with daily use.
Am I a candidate for professional teeth whitening?
Dr. Zhu and his Freedom Dental team will evaluate your smile and help you determine if you could benefit from our amazing whitening options available at our office. Patients with tooth decay, gum disease, or current restorations may not be the ideal candidate for this procedure. A consultation appointment is the first step in learning more about this treatment and whether or not it is a good fit for your smile needs.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
How much does professional teeth whitening cost at Freedom Dental?
The whitening cost varies depending on whether you choose in-office treatment or take-home trays. In-office whitening typically costs more but delivers results in just one visit, while take-home trays are often more budget-friendly and allow for gradual brightening. During your consultation, Dr. Zhu will review your goals, lifestyle, and budget to recommend the option that provides the best balance of value and results.
Does dental insurance cover teeth whitening?
Dental insurance usually does not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. However, many patients find whitening an affordable investment compared to the confidence it brings. Freedom Dental offers flexible financing options, and our team is happy to review payment plans that make it easy to fit whitening into your budget.

How long will my teeth stay white after treatment?
Results vary depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. On average, professional whitening can last anywhere from six months to one year. Avoiding tobacco, coffee, tea, and wine helps maintain your brighter smile longer. Many patients schedule touch-up treatments or use take-home trays to extend results.
Can teeth whitening remove deep stains?
Professional whitening is much stronger than over-the-counter options and can often lighten deep, set-in stains caused by coffee, tobacco, or aging. However, some intrinsic stains—such as discoloration from certain medications—may not fully respond to whitening. Dr. Zhu may recommend alternative cosmetic solutions like veneers or bonding in those cases.
Is professional whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Absolutely. When performed under the supervision of a dentist, whitening treatments are safe and controlled. Dr. Zhu carefully monitors the process to minimize sensitivity and protect the gums. Over-the-counter kits, in contrast, may expose patients to ill-fitting trays or uneven application, which can lead to irritation or inconsistent results.
How soon will I see results?
With in-office whitening, you’ll see dramatic results in just one appointment—sometimes up to eight shades brighter. Take-home trays deliver gradual improvements, with most patients noticing a difference after about one to two weeks of consistent use. Dr. Zhu can guide you in choosing the best method for your timeline and expectations.
What should I avoid after whitening to keep my teeth bright?
For the first 48 hours after whitening, avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages such as coffee, red wine, berries, and soy sauce is best. These can quickly stain freshly whitened enamel. Long term, rinsing after meals, maintaining excellent oral hygiene, and scheduling touch-ups as recommended will keep your smile luminous.
Can whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience mild tooth sensitivity after whitening, but it’s temporary and usually subsides within a few days. Using a toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth before and after treatment can help. Dr. Zhu may also recommend shorter whitening sessions or specially formulated gels to minimize discomfort.
