Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an in-office whitening treatment take?
Most in-office whitening sessions take about an hour. Our dentist can brighten your teeth three to eight shades in that single visit while protecting sensitive gum and tooth root areas.
Will whitening work on all types of stains?
Whitening is highly effective on stains from food, drinks, and normal aging, but some deeper stains, like those caused by certain medications, may respond differently. A consultation helps determine the best approach for your specific stains.
How long do teeth whitening results typically last?
Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up is usually needed every several years, and more often if you smoke or frequently drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Can whitening be done alongside other cosmetic treatments?
Yes. Whitening is often done before other cosmetic work, like veneers or bonding, so those treatments can be shade-matched to your newly brightened smile.
Will whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity after treatment. Our office takes steps to protect sensitive areas during the procedure to help keep you comfortable.
Is teeth whitening a good option if I have yellow or brown stained teeth?
Yes. Whitening is one of the most effective ways to address yellow, brown, or aging-related discoloration, often with dramatic results in just one visit.
