Dr. Matt St. George offers safe, effective whitening treatments designed to lift years of stains and discoloration—giving you a noticeably whiter smile that looks natural and healthy.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
Even with good brushing habits, teeth naturally darken over time. Coffee, tea, red wine, and even certain medications can cause stubborn stains that over-the-counter products can’t fully remove.
Professional whitening at Toccoa Falls Family Dental and Implant Center delivers faster, more predictable results—without the tooth sensitivity that often comes from store-bought kits.
Whether you want to brighten up for a special occasion or simply boost your everyday confidence, Dr. St. George can help you achieve your best shade safely and comfortably.

FAQs
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes—professional whitening performed by a dentist is completely safe. The products we use are dentist-approved, pH-balanced, and designed to protect your enamel while effectively lifting stains. During your treatment, Dr. St. George carefully monitors your gums and tooth surfaces to prevent irritation or overexposure. If you have sensitive teeth, we can tailor your treatment to ensure maximum comfort.
How long do whitening results last?
Your whitening results can last anywhere from one to three years depending on your habits and lifestyle. Regular dental cleanings, daily brushing and flossing, and avoiding dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine can help preserve your bright smile. For maintenance, Dr. St. George may recommend occasional touch-up treatments with a take-home whitening kit to keep your teeth looking their best year-round.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some mild, temporary sensitivity is common after whitening—but it usually subsides within a few days. Dr. St. George uses professional-grade products that include desensitizing agents to protect your enamel and minimize discomfort. If you’re prone to sensitivity, we can adjust your treatment strength or recommend a special toothpaste to use before and after whitening.
Can I whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel, so they won’t change the color of dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. However, Dr. St. George can help you achieve an even, balanced smile by recommending options such as polishing or replacing restorations to match your newly whitened teeth.
What’s the difference between professional whitening and over-the-counter kits?
Over-the-counter whitening products use weaker formulas and generic trays that may not fit properly, which can lead to uneven results or gum irritation. Professional whitening, on the other hand, uses stronger, enamel-safe ingredients and is supervised by a dentist who ensures uniform coverage and optimal safety. The difference is not only in speed—professional whitening provides brighter, more consistent, and longer-lasting results.
How soon will I see results?
Most patients notice a significant difference after a single in-office session—often 5–8 shades lighter. Take-home kits offer gradual improvement over a week or two, allowing for greater control and flexibility. Dr. St. George will review your whitening goals and recommend the approach that best fits your timeline and preferences.
Is whitening right for everyone?
While most people are great candidates for whitening, some cases—like teeth with intrinsic stains, exposed roots, or untreated cavities—may require alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers or bonding. During your consultation, Dr. St. George will carefully evaluate your teeth and gums to determine the safest, most effective way to enhance your smile.
