Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about teeth whitening

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening typically lasts 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle habits. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, not smoking, and maintaining good oral hygiene will help extend your results.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed under dental supervision. We use carefully controlled concentrations that effectively whiten teeth while protecting your enamel and gums.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients experience mild sensitivity during or after treatment, but this is typically temporary and subsides within a few days. We can adjust the treatment or recommend desensitizing products if needed.

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary depending on your starting shade and tooth structure, but most patients see their teeth become several shades whiter. During your consultation, we’ll discuss realistic expectations for your specific situation.

Can everyone get teeth whitening?

Most people are candidates for teeth whitening, but it’s not suitable for everyone. It works best on natural teeth and won’t whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings. We’ll assess your suitability during your consultation.

What's the difference between professional and over-the-counter whitening?

Professional whitening uses higher-concentration products and custom-fitted trays for more effective, faster, and longer-lasting results. Over-the-counter products are weaker and may provide inconsistent results.

How do I maintain my whitening results?

Maintain your bright smile by brushing twice daily, avoiding staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, and using a whitening toothpaste. Touch-up treatments every 6-12 months can also help maintain results.

Does teeth whitening damage enamel?

When performed professionally with proper technique and concentrations, teeth whitening does not damage enamel. We carefully monitor the process to ensure safe and effective treatment.
