Achieve a Brighter Smile with Professional Whitening
Over time, everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, along with the natural aging process, can leave teeth looking dull or discolored. Designer Dentistry & Smiles offers professional teeth whitening for patients throughout Sioux Falls, Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, and Tea who want a noticeably brighter smile without the guesswork of store-bought whitening kits.
Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening uses a higher concentration of whitening agents applied under supervision, delivering more dramatic and even results in far less time. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or simply want to feel more confident in your everyday smile, our team can help you choose the whitening option that fits your goals.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening
Choosing professional whitening over store-bought alternatives comes with several advantages.

- Supervised for Safety - Our team monitors the process to help minimize sensitivity and protect your gums throughout treatment.
- Customized to Your Smile - Whitening trays and treatment plans are tailored to your teeth for a comfortable, effective fit.
- Long-Lasting Brightness - With proper care, professional whitening results tend to last significantly longer than at-home alternatives.
Two Ways to Brighten Your Smile
Depending on your schedule, budget, and desired timeline, we offer more than one way to achieve a brighter smile, and our team can help you decide which option best fits your lifestyle.
In-Office Whitening
Completed in a single visit, this option delivers the fastest, most dramatic results under direct supervision. It is a great choice for patients who want noticeable results before a specific event or simply prefer to see immediate change.Take-Home Whitening Kits
Using custom-fitted trays and professional-grade gel, this option allows you to whiten gradually at your own pace, on your own schedule, often over the course of one to two weeks. Many patients appreciate the flexibility of treating their smile in the comfort of home, and the custom trays can also be used later for future touch-ups.Both options rely on professional-strength whitening agents that are more effective than what is available over the counter, and our team monitors your progress along the way to help you achieve safe, even results.
Your Whitening Treatment, Step by Step
We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options, each designed to deliver safe, effective results.
Initial Evaluation
We check for any underlying issues, such as cavities or gum disease, that should be addressed before whitening begins.
Shade Assessment
Your current tooth shade is recorded so you can clearly see your progress once treatment is complete.
Protecting Your Gums
For in-office treatment, a protective barrier is applied to shield your gums from the whitening agent.
Applying the Whitening Gel
A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to your teeth, often activated with a special light for in-office treatment.
Rinsing and Reveal
Once treatment is complete, your teeth are rinsed, and the dentist reviews your results, comparing them to your starting shade.
Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Most patients with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for professional whitening. It is particularly effective for surface stains caused by food, drinks, or tobacco use, as well as general yellowing that develops over time. Patients with certain types of discoloration, such as staining caused by medication or damage to the tooth's inner structure, may need a different cosmetic approach, such as veneers or bonding, to achieve their desired results. During your consultation, we will evaluate your teeth to recommend the whitening method best suited to your smile.
Maintaining Your Bright Smile
To help your results last as long as possible, our team recommends limiting stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, and rinsing your mouth with water after consuming them when possible. Using a straw for dark beverages can also help reduce direct contact with your front teeth. Continuing good oral hygiene habits, along with periodic touch-up treatments, can help maintain your brighter smile for the long term. Scheduling regular cleanings also gives our team a chance to catch new surface stains early, before they become more noticeable.
