Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do to prepare for a professional teeth whitening session?

    Before undergoing a professional teeth whitening treatment, it's important to ensure your teeth are in good health. Schedule a dental check-up to address any cavities, gum issues, or other dental problems. Brush and floss thoroughly to remove any surface plaque and debris that could block the whitening agent from evenly coating the teeth.


  • How long does a professional teeth whitening treatment last?

    The duration of the effects from professional teeth whitening can vary depending on individual habits and oral hygiene. Generally, the results can last from six months up to two years. Maintaining good oral hygiene, avoiding staining foods and beverages, and occasional touch-ups with home whitening products can extend the lifespan of the whitening effects.

  • Are there any side effects associated with teeth whitening?

    Some people may experience temporary sensitivity to temperature or mild gum irritation following a teeth whitening procedure. These symptoms typically subside within a few days after the treatment. Using toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth can help manage any discomfort.

  • Can teeth whitening damage enamel?

    When performed correctly by a professional, teeth whitening is a safe procedure that does not damage the enamel. The whitening agents used are designed to be effective without altering the structure of your teeth. It's important to follow the recommended guidelines and not overuse whitening products to avoid potential enamel degradation.

  • Is teeth whitening effective on all types of stains?

    Professional teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains caused by foods, drinks, and smoking. These surface stains respond well to bleaching agents. Intrinsic stains, such as those caused by medications or injury, may not respond as well and might require alternative cosmetic treatments such as veneers or crowns.
