Teeth Whitening FAQs

Why should I pay more for professional teeth whitening?

It’s easy to be tempted by over-the-counter whitening strips, pastes, and trays. While cheap and convenient, the results of store-bought teeth whitening are always disappointing. Professional teeth whitening may cost more but delivers quick, long-lasting, and consistent results. Many who try over-the-counter whiteners end up spending more over time on products that deliver limited or inconsistent results.

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary based on the natural shade of your teeth and the nature of tooth staining. Our office uses professional-strength products that can make your teeth up to ten shades lighter. The beauty of professional teeth whitening is that we can customize your results. Whether you want a natural upgrade or Hollywood whiteness, we can tailor treatment to your needs.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Professional gels are formulated for maximum comfort. However, you may experience some sensitivity after whitening treatment. Any discomfort is typically mild and resolves within a few days. Our team will provide personalized instructions to help you manage any post-op sensitivity.

Can teeth whitening damage my teeth?

No. However, incorrect use without professional supervision can result in damage. At our office, we use medical-grade products and cover your gums to avoid accidental irritation. We also examine your teeth before treatment, addressing issues like cavities that can increase sensitivity or compromise the safety of your treatment.

Can teeth whitening work on dental crowns and fillings?

Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth and won’t change the color of existing veneers, crowns, or fillings. If your current restorations are noticeably discolored, your dentist will recommend replacement to achieve a consistently white smile.

Your vibrant, beautiful smile can last for several months to a few years. However, the longevity of your results depends on your habits. Brush and floss your teeth diligently and limit the intake of staining foods. Additionally, adhere to routine dental cleanings and touch up your results occasionally with your whitening trays.

Can I take coffee after teeth whitening?

Yes, but with restraint. We recommend you avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods or beverages for at least 24-48 hours after whitening. During this time, teeth may be more susceptible to staining. After that, you can take coffee, but with caution. Use a straw and rinse or brush your teeth soon after.
