Why should I choose at-home teeth whitening?
Dr. Harrison believes cosmetic dentistry should never feel like a sales pitch—it should feel like a conversation about what’s right for you. At-home whitening is one of the most accessible, affordable ways to make a noticeable change in your smile without altering your teeth. Many patients are surprised by how much of a difference a few shades can make—not just in how they look, but how they feel.
Whether you’re prepping for an event or just want to feel more confident day-to-day, whitening is a flexible option you can return to as needed. And as with all treatments at Downtown Dental, you’ll never be rushed or upsold—Dr. Harrison only recommends what he would for his own family.

When used appropriately and under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe and effective. Dr. Harrison carefully evaluates each patient’s enamel and gum health before recommending treatment. He only uses trusted, professional-grade materials that are designed to minimize sensitivity and protect the structure of your teeth. If there’s ever a risk, he’ll walk you through other options—because protecting your long-term oral health is always the top priority.
With so many over-the-counter options, it can be hard to know what’s worth your time (or your money). Dr. Harrison recommends custom trays paired with professional-strength gel because they provide even, predictable results—and they’re tailored specifically to your smile. Unlike generic strips or trays, these are designed to fit securely, keep the gel where it’s supposed to be, and reduce the risk of irritation or patchy results.
Mild sensitivity during or after whitening is relatively common, especially if you have exposed root surfaces or thinner enamel. Dr. Harrison takes steps to reduce discomfort by customizing the strength of the gel and guiding how often you use it. If you’re prone to sensitivity, he may recommend spacing out treatments or using a sensitivity toothpaste alongside whitening. His goal is to help you reach your goals comfortably—not to push through treatment that doesn’t feel right.
