Convenient Whitening With Professional Results

Many over-the-counter whitening kits fail to provide the results patients expect. Weak formulas, uneven coverage, and increased sensitivity are common frustrations with store-bought strips and trays. Our take-home whitening system offers a safer and more effective alternative.

  • Custom Whitening Trays - Your trays are made specifically for your smile to ensure even whitening and comfortable wear.
  • Professional Whitening Gel - Our dentist-approved whitening solution lifts stains more effectively than many retail products.
  • Whitening on Your Schedule - Brighten your smile at home whenever it's most convenient for you.
  • Guided Treatment Process - We provide instructions and support to help you achieve the best possible results safely.

Take-home whitening is an excellent option for patients who want flexibility without sacrificing effectiveness. Many people appreciate being able to whiten gradually while still achieving dramatic improvements in brightness. This treatment is also ideal for maintaining results over time or touching up your smile before important events, vacations, or photos. With professional supervision and customized trays, you can enjoy a more comfortable experience and more noticeable results than over-the-counter products typically provide.

J Michael Krischke DDS also offers:

  • General Dentistry - Preventive cleanings and exams to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
  • Restorative Dentistry - Crowns, bridges, fillings, and dentures to restore damaged or missing teeth.
  • Family Dentistry - Personalized dental care for children, teens, and adults.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry - Smile-enhancing treatments that improve the appearance of your teeth and gums.

I absolutely love this office. Everyone I interact with (office ladies, dental hygienists, and the dentist) are friendly and kind. I've had the pleasure of seeing Ann twice now. I feel lucky to be her patient. She is patient and a joy to be around. I have always felt nervous going to the dentist, but with Ann I feel safe and enjoy my time. Her work is amazing - I leave with my teeth feeling clean and smooth. Thanks so much to everyone here, and a special thanks to Ann!

The staff and Dr. Krischke are excellent. All 4 kids and myself all with clean teeth and no cavities. We have gone here since 2017 and I can't imagine going anywhere else. They even saved my son's molar late at night when it was knocked out. We all love coming!
