Whitening FAQs
In-office results typically last 1 to 3 years depending on your diet and oral hygiene. Coffee, wine, and tobacco can shorten this. We offer take-home kits for periodic touch-ups.
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity. We use professional-grade gels specifically formulated to minimize sensitivity, and we can recommend desensitizing products if needed.
Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. If you have visible crowns or veneers, we can discuss options to match their shade or replace them after whitening for a uniform result.
Yes. Professional whitening is one of the safest cosmetic dental procedures. Your gums are protected during treatment, and the concentration of whitening agent is carefully controlled by your dentist.
