Teeth Whitening FAQs

How many teeth whitening treatments do I need for white teeth?

Your teeth whitening treatment results will depend on your discolored teeth and which option you choose. A single in-office teeth whitening treatment can leave your teeth up to 8 shades brighter. Most patients usually only need a single treatment to achieve their desired results. Your dentist can help you choose the best option for your specific smile.

Can teeth whitening damage my teeth?

Too many teeth whitening treatments in a short period can damage your enamel. There is also a risk of tooth damage if you use store-bought whitening treatments incorrectly. A common side effect of teeth whitening is temporary tooth sensitivity. It will disappear after a few days and not cause long-term damage.

Can I whiten dental restorations like dentures, veneers, or crowns?

You cannot whiten dental restorations with teeth-whitening products like strips and bleaching trays. Professional teeth whitening treatments at the dentist will not work either. If you have an old restoration that has become full-looking, it is best to replace it completely. Replacing it brings more added benefits.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

Many factors can change the time your whitening results last. It can be anywhere from six months to three years. Genetics can play a part in how white they stay. Lifestyle habits are a big factor as well. If you smoke or drink coffee regularly, your teeth are more likely to discolor quickly after your whitening treatment.

How long do I wait to eat or drink after professional teeth whitening?

You can eat and drink non-staining items pretty directly after your whitening appointment. However, your consumption is important, particularly for the first 48 hours after whitening. That’s when the pores in your teeth are most open and vulnerable to staining. Avoid drinking tea or coffee as much as possible. Drinking it through a straw can be helpful. We also recommend smoking and other tobacco products.

Is it worth it to whiten my teeth professionally?

Yes, professional whitening comes with many benefits compared to store-bought options. Professional treatment is unique and tailored to your specific needs. It eliminates the unevenness of drugstore options that are “one size fits all”. You’re also less likely to suffer from issues with sensitivity with a professional whitening product.
