Teeth Whitening
Including Free Whitening for Life
We’ll be upfront about something: we include free professional whitening for life for every patient at Family First Dental. Not as a promotion. Not for a limited time. Just as a standard part of being our patient, as long as you keep up with your regular visits.
Most dental offices charge $300 to $500 per whitening session. We’ve never thought that was right, so we just include it. If you’re looking for a Rexburg dentist who actually makes whitening accessible, you’ve found one.
Why Professional Whitening Works When the Store Brands Don't
The whitening strips and trays at the drugstore aren’t totally useless. But they’re also not the same as what you get in a dental office. The concentration of the whitening agent is much lower over the counter — which is why results take weeks, come out uneven, and don’t last nearly as long.
Professional whitening uses stronger, dental-grade materials applied evenly across your teeth under controlled conditions. The results show up faster, look more natural, and stay longer. And when it’s free for you as a Family First patient — why not?

What the Process Looks Like
It’s pretty simple, honestly. When you come in for a whitening appointment:
- We start with a quick dental cleaning to clear any surface buildup
- A professional whitening solution is applied to your teeth
- The solution gets to work lifting stains from your enamel
- Most patients leave with noticeably whiter teeth the same day
We’ll also walk you through what to expect and give you tips to keep the results looking sharp between visits.
Is Whitening Going to Work for Your Teeth?
Whitening works on natural enamel — it won’t change the color of crowns, veneers, or old fillings. So if you have any restorations at the front of your mouth, that’s worth knowing before you start. Dr. Stout will take a look during your exam and give you an honest answer about what kind of results to expect.
If you’re planning to get a crown or other cosmetic dentistry work done in the future, it usually makes sense to whiten first, so everything gets matched to your brightened shade.
Sensitive Teeth? We Can Work With That
Sensitivity is one of the most common worries people have about whitening. It’s legitimate. But with professional-grade products and a dentist managing the process, we can adjust things to minimize discomfort for people with sensitive teeth. Just mention it when you book and we’ll plan ahead.
Whitening + Invisalign = One of Our Most Popular Combos
A lot of our patients end up doing teeth whitening and Invisalign together — straighter teeth and a brighter color at the same time. It’s a pretty effective combination for a complete smile refresh. If that interests you, Dr. Stout is happy to walk you through what that timeline would look like.

Common Whitening Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does teeth whitening normally cost?
At most dental offices, professional in-office whitening runs $300 to $500 per session. At Family First Dental, it's included for life for patients who stay current with regular visits. New patients can access whitening after their first exam.
Can yellow teeth actually be made white again?
Usually, yes. Professional whitening is effective at lifting stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and food. Deeper discoloration from things like old medications or trauma can be trickier — Dr. Stout will give you an honest assessment at your visit.
Is professional whitening worth it compared to store products?
For most people, yes. Faster results, more even coverage, and longer-lasting effects. And at Family First Dental, since it's included for life, the cost comparison is easy.
What is the 2-2-2 rule for teeth?
Brush twice a day for two minutes each time, and see your dentist twice a year. It's the basic foundation of good oral health — and following it is what keeps your whitening results looking their best over time.
