Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that removes stains and discoloration from the enamel and dentin layers of your teeth. Unlike abrasive whitening toothpastes that only scrub surface stains, professional treatments use medical-grade bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to penetrate deeper, breaking down chromogens—the molecules responsible for yellowing and browning.
At its core, professional teeth whitening addresses two types of stains:
Our in-office and take-home options target both, ensuring a uniform, natural-looking brightness that enhances your smile’s overall aesthetics.
Understanding the science of professional teeth whitening empowers you to make informed choices. Teeth discoloration occurs when enamel pores trap pigments from daily habits. Bleaching agents like 25 to 40% hydrogen peroxide act as oxidizing agents, releasing oxygen molecules that diffuse into the tooth structure.
This oxidation reaction fragments stain molecules into colorless compounds, revealing whiter dentin beneath. A special LED light or laser accelerates the process, shortening treatment time. Research from the Journal of Bioengineering confirms that professional protocols preserve enamel integrity, with remineralization occurring naturally within hours.
Patients can experience the following benefits of teeth whitening:

When it comes to determining if teeth whitening is best for you, visit JLM Dental Studios. Our Atlanta metro dentist will evaluate your oral health and the cause of your tooth discoloration. Some people may not be suitable for professional teeth whitening, such as those who have:
With various options available today, patients often have the pleasure of choosing a teeth whitening solution that will work best for their goals.
Take-home whitening products come in trays that you place over your teeth, allowing the whitening agent to soak in. Although they take longer and give less precise results than in-office whitening treatments, they can be very effective. If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, take-home teeth whitening trays are certainly well worth the investment.
On average, patients can expect to spend around $500 to $1,000 on professional teeth whitening services. Various factors will affect the cost of teeth whitening treatments, including:
In most cases, dental insurance won’t cover the costs of teeth whitening treatments as it’s considered an elective procedure. We always recommend reaching out to your insurance provider to learn more about your plan.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed by a qualified dentist. However, it’s essential to follow your dentist’s instructions and avoid overusing whitening products, which can damage tooth enamel.
The duration of professional teeth whitening results depends on several factors, such as your lifestyle habits, the cause of the discoloration, and the type of whitening procedure. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, professional teeth whitening can last up to two years.
Some people may experience tooth sensitivity during or after their professional teeth whitening treatment. However, this is a temporary side effect that usually subsides within a few days. Your dentist may recommend desensitizing products to help alleviate discomfort caused by sensitive teeth.
Most dental insurance agencies won’t cover the cost of professional teeth whitening since it’s not considered medically necessary. Still, we recommend contacting your provider to understand your policy accurately. Your dentist will be able to assist you with any questions you may have, as well as offer various financing and payment options.
The best dental experience ever from the time I walked through the door until it was time to leave. The staff is absolutely amazing, very thorough, comforting, and made sure to let me know step by step what was going on during my appointment. They take their time, nothing is rushed and that let me know they truly care about my dental health. This was my first time at this office and I can say I have found the dentist home for me.
My visit as a new patient was top tier!! The customer service and the professionalism in this office was the best. Dasia took my X-rays and pictures of my teeth. She was very kind, communicative and made me feel welcomed. Crystal was my dental hygienist. She took her time and was very thorough. She provided me with education regarding my treatment plan and was able to give feedback based on my current regimen. I saw Dr. Evans for my exam and she was very thorough and pleasant. Everyone made me feel welcomed at this office. It was a very clean environment. This has been the best dental experience I’ve had. I can’t wait to return!
Love love love this dental office… The staff are very professional, nice and knowledgeable. I love the warm feeling you get upon arrival… The office and equipment is state of the art… Ten STARS!
I love being a patient here! The office is very nice and clean. The staff is amazing! They were extremely kind, patient, and generous when I brought my 91 year old grandma there for some dental work. I highly recommend!
I have been coming to this practice for about 2-3 years, and I have always had a great experience from the receptionist, whether it’s when I call or when I arrive in person. All the support staff and Dr. Jarrett and the other dentists are wonderful. Plus, the office smells great and looks fabulous. So, if you are looking for a new dental practice, call for an appointment!
Dr. Manning is phenomenal and extremely ethical. She repaired work that another dentist did when she could have told me I required the work to be completely redone as another dentist did. Her office is inviting. Her staff is kind, professional, and efficient. She’s def the only dentist I’ll see going forward. I also love Crystal her hygienist. Overall, this is an ethical and high-quality practice that provides the highest standards of care.
Switched to JLM Dental Studio from a prior local Smyrna dentist office several years ago. JLM’s office location is welcoming and organized. Bright environment, exceptionally designed. You don’t expect a dentist office to have a fun “vibe”, right? They captured one.
Dr. Jarrett is my primary dentist. I’ve gone through multiple treatment services, fillings, extraction, general cleaning, and recently Invisalign. I don’t question what treatments are recommended nor do I feel I’ve ever received unnecessary services for a cash grab. Dr. Jarrett focuses on overall oral health education vs vanity. Dr. Mel is equally a great addition to the team. Can’t go wrong either way. Pleased with my experiences which include multiple referrals. Grade A!
I love this dentistry office!! Dr. Manning and her staff are so professional. Very thorough and the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist’s office!! They have me as a patient for life!!
Dr. Manning is a very knowledgeable, professional, and caring dentist. She has a great patient-interaction manner. I am thrilled that Star is back. The front office staff is very professional. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Manning’s for 4 years. I am a VERY satisfied patient.
Dr. Jarrett and her staff are amazing! I had a problem with my crown twice and without hesitation they got me and took care of the problem! I especially want to let people know that Tiffany is phenomenal! Her customer service skills make you so comfortable! Thanks again for such great service! I highly recommend JLM Dentistry.
I absolutely love my dentist’s office. From the front desk, the hygienist (Crystal), and Dr. Jarrett, I am in total peace every time. Anytime you sleep when you are getting your teeth cleaned or cavities filled, that surely speaks to the magnitude of comfort, trust, and ambiance in the office. Thank you JLM Dental Studio.
I’m never a huge fan of going to the dentist (not sure who is), but JLM Dental Studios was amazing. It was easy to book my first appointment, the office was extremely clean and quiet, and the staff were all very welcoming and professional. I will definitely be making JLM my dentist’s office moving forward.
Crystal did an awesome job on my cleaning! The exam was the most thorough I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back!
My visit today at JLM dental studios was pleasant. The front office staff (Monica) is friendly & polite. Monica went above & beyond trying to get my appt. rescheduled when there was a cancellation. Teanna the hygienist assistant was kind & helpful with explaining the modern tech the office has to offer. Crystal the hygienist is sweet & patient care oriented. Highly recommend!!
Crystal C. is so awesome. She explained in detail what I need to do to get back on track with my treatment plan… Thank you for your talent and expertise!!
First, let me say that I appreciate the design of this office. It’s super chic and glam! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I get extreme anxiety when visiting the dentist, but the assistants and hygienist were gentle and patient with me. My dentist was not Dr. Jarrett as she was fully booked but the other dentist was very friendly and helpful. I did, however, get botox injections from Dr. Jarrett, and she was amazing and quick with the procedure. I can’t wait to return. Can’t believe I said that about a dentist’s office.
Lovely and pleasant experience. Friendly and informative staff. Came in for a deep cleaning and filling and didn’t feel a thing. I definitely will be coming back!
Great experience. Very personable staff. Relatable, and when it was time to get down to work, they did…and in a competent fashion!
Very professional, thorough, and friendly office! I really like the hygiene and covid safety protocols, the friendly staff, the thorough cleaning, and the billing explanation. The staff (Monique), as well as Ginny, were very nice! This dentist’s office makes me have less trepidation about coming to the dentist. Thank you!
