Get a Brighter, More Confident Smile at Rockville Family Dental
Are you looking to make your smile noticeably whiter and more confident? At Rockville Family Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening services in North Bethesda, MD that help people just like you turn dull or stained teeth into a brighter, healthier — and more youthful — smile.
We make the process easy and comfortable, and we’re right here in your community — serving North Bethesda as well as Rockville, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Kensington, Garrett Park, and Silver Spring.
You’ve probably seen whitening toothpastes, strips, and store kits. The thing is, those products may help a little, but they can’t deliver results that match what we do in the dental office.
Here’s why professional whitening is worth it:
We use high‑strength bleaching gels with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that are stronger and safer than drugstore products.
You get consistent results with custom trays or LED‑activated treatment based on your goals and oral health.
We protect your gums and soft tissues during treatment so you’ll stay comfortable with minimal sensitivity.
Professional teeth whitening can lighten your smile by several shades in a short time — much more than you’ll see with over‑the‑counter options.
Even when you brush and floss regularly, teeth can become dull or discolored from daily habits and natural aging:
Coffee, tea, and red wine
Tobacco use
Dark sauces and foods
Natural enamel wear over time
Some medications
These stains settle into your enamel, and a professional whitening system targets them directly, breaking them up so your teeth appear whiter and brighter.
In‑Office Whitening
Get dramatic results in one visit using professional‑strength gel and LED/UV teeth whitening lamps. This option is great when you want a noticeably brighter smile fast — like for a wedding, reunion, or big event.
Custom Take‑Home Whitening Kits
Prefer to whiten from home at your own pace? We make custom whitening trays that fit your mouth perfectly. You wear them with professional‑grade whitening gel for a short time each day for about 1‑2 weeks.
Combination Plans
Some patients like to start with an in‑office session and then use a take‑home kit to maintain their brightness. We’ll guide you on what makes sense based on your smile goals.
First, we’ll check your mouth to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. Things like cavities, gum irritation, or decay should be handled before whitening.
Then we’ll talk about your goals. Want your teeth just a few shades lighter or a dramatic refresh? We plan your treatment accordingly.
During the whitening:
We protect your gums and soft tissues.
We apply the whitening gel to your teeth.
If you’re doing in‑office whitening, we’ll activate it with an LED light to speed results.
We monitor how your whitening is progressing and check your comfort throughout.
Afterward, we give you clear care instructions to help your new smile last as long as possible.
Here’s what makes our office a trusted choice for teeth whitening and cosmetic dental care:

Use of FDA‑Approved Whitening Products

In‑Depth Oral Health Checks Before Whitening
We look at your overall tooth and gum health first so whitening doesn’t worsen underlying issues.
A Long Track Record of Happy Smiles
Our patients trust us for teeth whitening and other services like dental exams, cleanings, veneers, crowns, and sensitive‑teeth treatments because we focus on real results.
Keeping Your Smile White Longer
After whitening, your daily habits matter. Here’s what most patients do to preserve their bright smile:
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
Floss daily
Drink water after coffee, wine, or tea
Get regular dental cleanings
Use touch‑up whitening trays if recommended
It’s normal for teeth whitening results to slowly fade over time — especially if you smoke or drink staining beverages — but good habits help stretch your results.

Teeth whitening isn’t permanent, but results can last months to a few years depending on your habits and how well you care for your teeth.
Most people feel little or no sensitivity. If you do notice sensitivity, it’s usually mild and temporary.
We will check your oral health first. People with cavities, gum disease, or worn enamel may need treatment before whitening.
Professional teeth whitening works only on natural teeth, not on restorations. We can discuss cosmetic options to match any dental work.
Most dental insurance plans consider whitening cosmetic and do not cover it. We can help you explore payment options.
In‑office gives faster results; take‑home lets you whiten at your pace. Often a combo works best depending on your schedule and goals.
In‑office whitening often shows results right away. Custom trays typically take 1–2 weeks of daily use.
