Is professional whitening safe for my teeth?

Yes, professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is very safe and does not damage the hard outer layer of your teeth when done properly.

How long will my teeth stay white after a treatment?

Teeth whitening results usually last between 12 and 18 months, depending on lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee, tea, or other staining beverages.

Why do my teeth hurt after using store-bought whitening strips?

Store-bought whitening strips can open tiny pores in the teeth, which may cause sensitivity or discomfort. A dentist can apply a special gel to close those pores and reduce the pain.

Can I whiten my old dental crowns or veneers?

No, whitening gel only works on natural teeth. It will not change the color of crowns, veneers, or other porcelain or plastic dental restorations.
