Teeth Whitening
Professional whitening treatments get results that store-bought products don't. The gel concentration is stronger, the trays are custom fitted to your teeth, and the shade is adjusted to what you're actually going for rather than a generic outcome.
At Burns Dentistry, professional teeth whitening uses custom trays and dentist-provided whitening gel to help patients in Sun City and Sun City West brighten natural teeth safely and evenly.
Personalized to your shade goal.
Take-Home Whitening That Actually Works
We provide custom-fitted whitening trays and professional-grade gel that you use at home on your own schedule. The gel strength is selected with your shade goal and sensitivity in mind. Most patients see a noticeable difference quickly.
Who Is Teeth Whitening For?
Professional teeth whitening may be a good fit if your natural teeth look stained, yellowed, or darker than you want them to be. It is most useful for tooth discoloration caused by food, drinks, wine, tobacco, smoking, aging, and surface stains.
Whitening treatments do not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other restorations, so we’ll help you understand what kind of result is realistic before you start.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
We start by making custom trays that fit your teeth closely. You’ll use those trays with professional-grade whitening gel at home based on the instructions we provide.
Because the trays are made for your mouth, the gel can cover your teeth more evenly than one-size-fits-all strips or trays.
Keep it going for life.

Worth knowing.
Professional vs. Over the Counter
Over-the-counter whitening solutions often use lower concentrations of peroxide and trays or strips that are not fitted to your teeth. The result can be less even coverage, slower results, or more sensitivity. Professional whitening treatments start with an impression of your actual teeth, which helps the gel reach the surfaces being whitened more evenly.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
How does professional teeth whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening uses custom-fitted trays and dentist-provided whitening gel to brighten natural teeth. You use the trays at home based on the instructions we provide.
What is the difference between professional and over-the-counter whitening?
Professional whitening uses custom trays and dentist-provided gel rather than one-size-fits-all strips or trays. That can help the whitening gel cover your teeth more evenly and gives us more control over your shade goal and sensitivity.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some temporary sensitivity is possible with whitening. We’ll talk through your history, shade goal, and instructions so the process is as comfortable and manageable as possible.
Does teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
No. Whitening only changes the shade of natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, fillings, and other restorations do not whiten the same way, so we’ll help you understand what result is realistic before you start.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results vary depending on your habits, oral hygiene, and how often you use touch-up gel. The Whitening for Life program is designed to help patients maintain a brighter smile over time.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening treatments may be a good fit if your natural teeth have coffee stains, discoloration, or are darker than you want them to be. A quick exam can help confirm whether whitening is the right option or whether another cosmetic treatment would make more sense.
What is the Whitening for Life program?
Whitening for Life starts with custom trays and a whitening kit, then includes free whitening gel at every hygiene visit so you can maintain your results long term.
