Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Who is a good candidate for professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening may be a good option for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to reduce common stains and discoloration. Our dentists can evaluate your smile and determine whether whitening is appropriate for you.
What types of stains respond best to teeth whitening?
Whitening treatments tend to work best on stains caused by foods, beverages, tobacco use and natural aging. Some types of internal discoloration may not respond as well and could require a different cosmetic treatment.
Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening. The level of sensitivity varies from person to person and typically improves after treatment. Our dentists can recommend ways to help manage sensitivity based on your needs.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Whitening results can last for months or longer, depending on your diet, oral hygiene and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco and other staining substances can gradually darken the teeth again over time.
Does teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
No. Whitening products are designed to lighten natural tooth enamel and generally do not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings or other restorations. If you have visible dental restorations, our dentists can help you plan treatment so your smile looks as consistent as possible.
Should I have dental work completed before whitening my teeth?
It can be helpful to address cavities, gum problems or other oral health concerns before beginning whitening treatment. If you are considering crowns, veneers or tooth-colored restorations, the timing of whitening may also affect how those restorations are shade-matched.
How can I keep my teeth white after treatment?
Good brushing and flossing habits, routine dental cleanings and limiting foods and drinks that commonly cause stains can help maintain your results. Using a straw for darker beverages and rinsing with water afterward may also help reduce new staining.
How is professional teeth whitening different from over-the-counter whitening products?
Professional whitening is supervised by a dental team and can be selected based on your teeth, sensitivity and cosmetic goals. Over-the-counter products are designed for general use and may provide more limited or less predictable results depending on the type of discoloration.
