Teeth whitening, step by step
Here’s how professional teeth whitening works at the Timonium office.
Talk through your goals
At a relaxed consultation, Dr. Haywood looks at the shade of your teeth and what you want from whitening. If your teeth are very dark, you’ll hear about all of your options before anything begins.
Start the in-office treatment
Treatment begins in the office with a thirty-minute professional whitening treatment, as part of a plan customized to your specific needs.
Activate it with the laser
A laser is then applied for 1 to 2 hours. It activates the hydrogen peroxide and significantly increases the rate and efficacy of the whitening agent, helping dissolve stains, including the ones that like to hide.
Patients in Timonium and Towson. In their words.

“I’ve finally found my dentist and I couldn’t be happier! Really impressed by how comfortable they made me feel from the moment I walked in. The whole team at Dr. Haywood’s office is warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive.”—Andrew

“Dr. Haywood repaired a chip in my tooth today. The tooth looks better than before it was chipped!”—Jim

“Wow, just wow! Best dental experience I ever had! First, the office feels more like someone’s home than a sterile office… I have always been terrified of dental visits. Not anymore.”—Kelli

“My teeth were very crooked and I wanted a better smile… I chose veneers and some minor cosmetic gum surgery because I really did not want braces in my 20s! The results speak for themselves.”—Greg

“I traveled to Dr. Haywood because I didn’t feel a regular dentist could handle my case. I’ve been thrilled with my new smile and get compliments everywhere I go. Thanks, Doc!”—John

At-home whitening usually means committing two or three weeks, and the commercial whiteners that seem so promising often fail to deliver lasting results. In-office laser power whitening is designed to give you your brightest smile in the least amount of time.
Treatment starts with a thirty-minute in-office whitening treatment, followed by a laser applied for 1 to 2 hours. The laser activates the hydrogen peroxide in the whitening agent, significantly increasing how quickly and effectively it dissolves stains. More about laser whitening.
