Can teeth whitening be permanent?

No, teeth whitening isn’t a permanent solution. Depending on your oral hygiene routine, among other factors, you’ll see the results of whitening for anywhere from a few months to a year or more. If you want a more permanent solution, you can consider a bonding treatment or dental veneers.

Which teeth whitening is safest?

Professional treatments that you can get from a dentist are the safest. We only use products that we know provide great results without causing negative effects. Not only that, but our team is ready to help if you experience any issues. Only a few over-the-counter products have earned the ADA’s seal of approval.

Will teeth whitening hurt cavities?

You shouldn’t whiten teeth if decay is present. Doing so can cause teeth sensitivity and other adverse effects. Our dentists will examine your teeth prior to a whitening treatment to ensure they are in good shape. If you have any cavities or gum disease, we’ll want to treat it before you begin whitening.

Choose the Best Whitening Treatment For Brightening Your Smile

You can choose a whitening treatment in our office or professional supplies to use in your own home. Either way, it will remove surface and intrinsic staining and provide results brighter than what you can get with drugstore products. Primary considerations include:

Speed – An office treatment is the fastest route to a whiter smile. Your smile will be noticeably brighter in about an hour. It may be the best choice if you have a big event coming up in a week or two.
Ease of Use – Our team will do all of the work for you if you receive an office treatment. You just sit back and relax as your teeth get brighter! Still, our home treatments are easier to use than over-the-counter treatments.
Convenience – Nothing tops the convenience of being able to whiten at home while you watch TV, read, or clean the house. You can even choose products that whiten while you sleep.

Common Questions About Teeth Whitening

Is teeth whitening painful?

The teeth whitening process is not painful; however, some patients experience mild teeth sensitivity to hot and cold afterward. We use only the highest-quality whitening treatment that is specially formulated to reduce sensitivity, so any discomfort will be minimal and temporary. If you do experience teeth sensitivity, it will usually go away on its own shortly after your treatment is over.

How does teeth whitening work?

The whitening agent in our teeth whitening systems contains oxygen molecules that interact with the discolored molecules in your teeth enamel. The discolored molecules are broken up, and your teeth are left a sparkling white. Depending on your wants and needs, we can alter the level of whitening by changing the strength of the whitening agent and how long it’s applied.

Can I eat after my teeth whitening treatment?

You’ll want to avoid eating or drinking for at least four hours after your whitening treatment. Just sip water during that time. In fact, during the first 48 hours, we recommend you have a diet of “white” foods, like bread, pasta, yogurt, rice, milk, turkey, chicken, etc. Your teeth are porous after the whitening, which means they are more susceptible to picking up stains. To achieve the best results and to experience less sensitivity, adjust your diet those first couple of days.
