Teeth Whitening

FAQ

  • What Is Teeth Whitening?

    Teeth whitening is the process of removing all the stains that have accumulated on our teeth over time from eating, drinking, and other activities.

  • Does Teeth Whitening Damage Your Teeth?

    Teeth whitening can potentially damage your teeth if not done correctly. This usually happens when patients attempt to whiten their teeth themselves using various store products without understanding what is right for them. It's best done under the guidance of a dentist.

  • How do Dentists Whiten Teeth?

    Dentists usually whiten teeth in two different ways. One is an office whitening where your teeth are whitened at the office and the other is a take-home teeth whitening kit with customized trays. We usually recommend both for you.

  • Do LED Teeth Whitening Lights Work?

    Yes, LED teeth whitening lights do work. The light works as an activator and needs to be used correctly with the right products in the office. It requires several sessions under the light to achieve the desired results.

  • What Can Go Wrong with Instant Teeth Whitening at Home?

    Instant teeth whitening at home can cause your gums to get burnt, you can over whiten, and you can cause sensitivity on your teeth. Other effects include burnt tongues and burnt cheeks. Therefore, it's important to be careful when whitening your teeth at home.

  • Can Dentists Whiten Teeth Permanently?

    There's nothing permanent about whitening. It needs to be maintained just like when you come in for a cleaning at the office. We can whiten it for you but consuming food and drink can stain the teeth right away, so maintenance is necessary.

  • Does Whitening Cause Tooth Sensitivity?

    Yes, whitening can cause tooth sensitivity. However, whitening under the guidance of a dentist can reduce your tendency to get whitening sensitivity or at least it can be treated by a dentist.

  • Does Teeth Whitening Have Any Other Side Effects?

    The most common side effects of teeth whitening are teeth sensitivity and burning of your soft tissues. The dentist will screen you to make sure you're a good candidate for teeth whitening.

  • How Can I Best Retain The Results of Teeth Whitening Treatment On My Own?

    Once you get your teeth whitened and you take the home whitening kit, the doctor will help you design a maintenance program for you at home that will help you keep your teeth white.
