Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Teeth Whitening
1. How does professional teeth whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening uses a safe, concentrated whitening agent applied by a dentist to break down stains on the surface and beneath the enamel. This results in a brighter, more even smile compared to over-the-counter products.
2. Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes! When performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is both safe and effective. We use high-quality materials and techniques to protect your gums and tooth enamel while minimizing sensitivity.
3. How long does the treatment take?
In-office whitening typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the level of whitening desired. If you choose a take-home kit, results are usually achieved within 1 to 2 weeks of regular use.
4. How long will my results last?
Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle. Avoiding staining foods and drinks, practicing good oral hygiene, and scheduling regular dental cleanings can help maintain your brighter smile.
5. Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, but we use products and techniques to minimize discomfort. If sensitivity occurs, it usually subsides within a few days.
6. Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Most patients are eligible, but we’ll assess your oral health during a consultation. Whitening works best on natural teeth and may not be effective for discoloration caused by medications, trauma, or certain dental restorations like crowns or veneers.
7. Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains?
Teeth whitening is most effective on stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco. It may be less effective on intrinsic stains (stains inside the tooth) or discoloration due to injury or aging.
8. What’s the difference between in-office whitening and take-home kits?
In-office whitening offers immediate results using a stronger whitening agent and professional application. Take-home kits provide gradual results with custom-fitted trays for convenience and comfort.
9. How much does professional teeth whitening cost?
The cost varies depending on the type of treatment and level of whitening desired. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
10. How can I maintain my white smile after treatment?
To maintain your results:
Brush and floss daily.
Limit foods and drinks that stain, like coffee, tea, and red wine.
Use a whitening toothpaste as recommended by your dentist.
Schedule regular dental cleanings.
