Professional teeth whitening in Woodbridge, VA
Professional teeth whitening uses a stronger, dentist-supervised gel to lift stains from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and aging. It is one of the quickest and least expensive ways to improve your smile.
At 703 Dental, we offer in-office whitening, which brightens teeth by several shades in a single visit, and take-home whitening, which uses custom trays made from a digital scan of your teeth. Many patients use both: a visit for a fast result and trays for touch-ups.
Before whitening, we check your teeth and gums and clean them, because whitening gel should not be used on untreated cavities or gum disease. Whitening only changes natural tooth color, so if you have crowns, veneers or fillings on front teeth, we will plan whether they need replacing to match.

Grey stains from medication or a dark single tooth may respond better to bonding or a veneer.
Step by step
How professional whitening works
Step 1
Check
We examine your teeth and gums and record your starting shade.
Step 2
Clean
A cleaning removes surface stains and tartar so the gel works evenly.
Step 3
Whiten
Gel is applied in the office or with custom trays at home.
Step 4
Maintain
We show you how to keep your results and when to touch up.
Teeth whitening cost
Whitening is a cosmetic treatment, so dental insurance usually does not cover it. In-office whitening costs more than take-home trays but gives a faster result. We will give you the price for each option at your visit.

Professional whitening or store-bought kits?
Over-the-counter strips and toothpastes can remove some surface staining, but they use weaker gel and do not fit your teeth closely, so results are slower and often patchy. Gel can also leak onto the gums and cause irritation.
Professional whitening uses stronger gel, custom-fitted trays and a dentist checking your teeth first. Results are faster, more even and usually last one to three years with occasional touch-ups.
Keeping your teeth white
- Avoid coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco for 48 hours after whitening
- Rinse with water after dark drinks
- Use a sensitivity toothpaste if teeth feel sensitive for a few days
- Touch up with your trays every few months as needed
- Keep up with cleanings every six months
