A bright, radiant smile can change the way you feel about yourself — and the way others see you. At Roam Dental in Shelby Township, we offer professional cosmetic teeth whitening treatments that deliver results far beyond what store-bought kits can achieve. Whether you choose in-office whitening for instant results or a custom take-home kit for gradual brightening, Dr. Barbu will recommend the best approach for your smile goals and tooth sensitivity level.

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a safe, effective cosmetic dental procedure that removes deep stains and discoloration from your tooth enamel to reveal a significantly brighter smile. Unlike over-the-counter products, in-office whitening uses a high-concentration bleaching gel activated under professional conditions — achieving results up to 8 shades lighter in a single visit.

Teeth naturally become stained over time from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods. Even with excellent oral hygiene, these extrinsic stains build up on the enamel surface. Professional whitening targets these stains at a deeper level than any home product can reach.

At Roam Dental, we tailor every whitening treatment to your individual needs — evaluating your current shade, tooth sensitivity, and goals before recommending the right option for you. Schedule a consultation to find out which whitening method is right for your smile.

Whitening Options Available at Roam Dental

We offer two professional whitening approaches, both of which far outperform over-the-counter products in speed, safety, and results.

In-Office Whitening — The fastest option. A high-concentration bleaching gel is applied chairside and activated with a specialized light, whitening your teeth up to 8 shades in a single 60–90 minute appointment. Ideal if you have an event coming up or want immediate results.

Custom At-Home Whitening Kits — Custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth ensure the whitening gel is applied evenly and effectively. Results develop gradually over 1–2 weeks, and the trays can be reused for future touch-ups.

The Process

What to Expect During Your Whitening Appointment

Your appointment begins with a consultation and shade evaluation so Dr. Barbu can document your starting point and set realistic expectations. Your teeth are then cleaned to remove any surface debris that could block the whitening gel.

The whitening agent — hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide — is carefully applied to your teeth. For in-office treatments, a light activates the gel and speeds up the process. Multiple applications may be performed in the same session to reach your target shade.

Some sensitivity in the hours following treatment is normal. We recommend avoiding dark-staining foods and drinks for 24–48 hours after your appointment to protect and prolong your results. Book your whitening appointment today.


Why Choose Professional Whitening

Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening delivers results, safety, and customization that no drugstore kit can match. Here's what sets it apart:

Up to 8 Shades Brighter

Professional-grade whitening agents achieve dramatically brighter results than any over-the-counter product — often in just one visit.

Supervised and Safe

Treatment is performed or prescribed by Dr. Barbu, ensuring gum tissue is protected and the gel concentration is appropriate for your teeth.

Custom-Fit for Even Results

Custom trays or in-office application ensures the whitening gel reaches every surface evenly — no streaking or missed patches.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care and occasional touch-ups, professional whitening results can last 1–3 years — far longer than store-bought treatments.

Boosts Confidence

A noticeably brighter smile makes a strong first impression and gives patients a meaningful boost of confidence in social and professional settings.

Sensitivity Management

We evaluate your sensitivity level before treatment and can adjust the gel strength or recommend a desensitizing protocol to keep you comfortable.

Not sure which whitening option is right for you? Dr. Barbu will evaluate your teeth and recommend the safest, most effective treatment to reach your target shade — whether that's in-office whitening for instant results or a custom take-home kit for a gradual transformation.
