FAQ About Teeth Whitening
Is teeth whitening dangerous?
No, it is not dangerous. Professional teeth whitening under the care of our dental professionals does not pose any risk. Our team will address any concerns during your consultation to ensure the whitening treatment is right for you.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
No, teeth whitening is a simple procedure that does not hurt. However, some patients do experience some sensitivity following the treatment. This is due to the whitening agent interacting with the enamel of the teeth. This sensitivity can last anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days. If you experience this, over-the-counter pain medication can offer some relief, though it should subside rather quickly.
Can yellow teeth turn white?
Yes! Professional teeth whitening can leave you with incredible results. If you have yellow teeth, it is very possible to restore those teeth to a brighter, whiter shade. In-office treatment using a professional-grade whitening gel is one of the most efficient and accessible ways to achieve a beautiful smile — far more effective than over-the-counter options. For patients with gaps, discoloration, or changes in shape that whitening alone cannot address, our team may also recommend dental bonding or porcelain veneers to further enhance your smile’s appearance.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
Generally, you shouldn’t whiten your teeth more than once per year, although some treatments suggest it every few months. The effectiveness of your whitening treatment will vary based on your specific needs and the whitening gel or laser procedure used. It is best to schedule a consultation with your dentist to determine the proper recommendation for your oral health and goals. Practicing proper oral hygiene — including regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing — will help maintain your results and protect your enamel long into the future.
