FAQs – Teeth Whitening

How does professional teeth whitening work?

Professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-approved bleaching agents to break down stains on the enamel and dentin layers of your teeth, delivering dramatic results in less time than over-the-counter products.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes. When performed by a dental professional, whitening is safe and does not damage tooth enamel. We use high-quality formulas designed to protect your teeth and gums.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your oral hygiene, diet, and lifestyle habits. Avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can help maintain your results longer.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after treatment, but it usually subsides within a few days. We use desensitizing agents to minimize discomfort.

Can whitening remove all types of stains?

Professional whitening is highly effective on most external stains caused by food and drinks. However, deep intrinsic stains (e.g., from medications or tooth trauma) may require alternative treatments like veneers.

Is in-office whitening better than take-home kits?

In-office whitening produces faster, more dramatic results in a single visit, while take-home kits provide gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks. We offer both options based on your goals and preferences.
