Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is the simplest, most economical & effective cosmetic dental procedure. In an hour, you can have a smile up to 5-8 shades whiter without crowns or veneers.
A sparkling white smile is a great way to make a first impression. 48% of people say a smile is the first thing they notice when meeting someone new. Unfortunately, teeth rarely stay as white as we'd like them to without a little help. Dousman Family Dentistry's team can brighten and whiten your smile with lasting affects in as little as an hour.
The cost of a professional teeth whitening treatment in Wisconsin ranges between $200 and $1,000. Factors affecting the cost of teeth whitening may include the type of whitening treatment used, the severity of tooth discoloration and if more than one treatment is required.
The majority of insurance policies will not cover teeth whitening because it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Other examples of cosmetic procedures include tooth shaping, veneers and gum contouring. Teeth whitening and other cosmetic procedures generally do not serve any medical function, and they are intended purely for their aesthetic gain.
At Dousman Family Dental, we offer flexible payment plans so you can get your teeth whitened affordably.
Before you come in to get your teeth whitened, we recommend you schedule an exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening. Cavities and infections will be treated before your whitening procedure. This way, we can make sure tooth discoloration is not the result of a dental condition in need of treatment.
To protect your teeth and gums, a rubber shield or gel will be applied. Then, the dentist will apply a bleach solution to stain your teeth over an hour. You can kick back and relax while your teeth turn noticeably whiter.
Yes! You can get your teeth whitened if you have crowns or veneers. Given the overall health of your teeth allows for whitening, you don't have to worry about your crowns or veneers. Crowns and veneers are made of durable materials and are resistant to professional and over-the-counter whitening products.
No, getting your teeth professionally whitened will not whiten your crowns or veneers. If you prefer your crowns and veneers to match your new white smile, you can choose to have your crowns and veneers replaced after your whitening procedure to achieve a blended look.
Teeth whitening is an investment, and you want your results to last for as long as possible. Maintain a healthy routine of brushing and flossing every day, and keep up with your regularly scheduled professional cleanings at our dental office. You should also avoid stain-causing foods and beverages including red wine, coffee and tea. Follow our teeth whitening aftercare guide to keep your white teeth shining brightly!
How long your teeth hold their new white color will vary. Usually, results last 6 months to a year and sometimes even 2 years with proper care. If you would like to maintain your ideal white smile, it's recommended to schedule a follow-up whitening treatment every 6-12 months for the best results.
If your stains are too severe to be helped with teeth whitening, you can also consider getting veneers. Dental Veneers placed on the surface of the teeth can cover dark stains that can't be corrected through teeth whitening. Consult with one of our dentists to learn which option is right for you.

Since teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by dental insurance. You can check with your insurance provider to be sure. We have payment plans and we will work with you to determine the best way to cover your treatment expenses.
I’ve been a long-time patient and continue to love it! Receptionists are friendly and helpful, hygienists are thorough and kind, and the dentists are great too. I stay because it’s great.
Really loved my experience with Dousman Family Dentistry for the last many many years. I am only transferring because we moved. We will miss you!
Everyone who works here is so kind! I have had a few visits and every single one has been a great experience. I live in East Troy and don't mind the travel time because I can't ask for a better place to go for dental care.
I have been going to Dr. Goral for 25 years. Excellent dentist, kept up with the latest. Listens to the patient. All receptionists, etc. are extremely nice. Jill is my hygienist. She is not only pleasant but efficient.
Dr. Schaeffer was the go-to guy for my family's teeth growing up. He put braces on my very crooked teeth when I was a pre-teen, and when my teeth reverted to their crooked ways, Dr. Schaeffer fixed them once again - this time with an expander and retainers. He is a miracle worker! I've had an expander followed by a retainer on my teeth for 9 months and the results are amazing! A genius in the world of teeth!
Our whole family goes here and they have been wonderful with our young children.
Had an emergency visit and was pleasantly surprised at the cost. Thank you for not price gouging during this pandemic! You guys are all great! Thank you for working during this time of craziness.
I had a great experience at Dousman Dental. I had two crowns put on the left side of my mouth and they decided to do them both at the same time which was great because it saved me a second trip. To be honest I never felt any pain and was as comfortable as could be under the circumstances. I would highly recommend them!
My wife and daughters have been going to Dr. Whalen for many years and I started going a year ago on my wife's recommendation. The staff are always very pleasant, it is an extremely clean facility and I feel very comfortable with trusting Dr. Whalen and his staff with my dental work. I would highly recommend Dousman Family Dentistry.
