FAQ
Can teeth whitening treatments address deep stains caused by medication?
Yes, professional in-office whitening and custom take-home kits can help lighten deep stains caused by medications like tetracycline. Results may vary, and sometimes veneers are recommended for optimal improvement.
Is teeth whitening safe for dental restorations like crowns and veneers?
Whitening treatments do not change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings, as these materials do not respond to whitening agents. We can discuss options to maintain a consistent smile appearance if you have restorations.
How does the whitening process affect tooth enamel?
Professional whitening uses safe concentrations of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide that break down stains without damaging enamel. Following your dentist’s guidelines helps avoid overuse or sensitivity.
Are over-the-counter whitening products as effective as professional treatments?
Over-the-counter products may lighten teeth somewhat but are generally less effective and slower than professional treatments, which use stronger agents and customized plans for longer-lasting, noticeable results.
Can teeth whitening cause increased tooth sensitivity?
Some people experience mild, temporary sensitivity after whitening, which usually subsides within a few days. Inform our team if you have a history of sensitivity before treatment.
How long do the results of teeth whitening last?
Results typically last from six months to two years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits.
Is there a difference between laser whitening and traditional whitening methods?
Laser (light-activated) whitening speeds up the whitening process by enhancing the agent’s effect, offering faster results. Both laser and traditional methods effectively brighten your smile.
Can teeth whitening help with yellowing caused by aging?
Yes, whitening can reduce yellowing caused by thinning enamel and exposed dentin, common with aging.
What should I do if my teeth are not whitening evenly?
Uneven whitening may occur due to enamel differences or restorations. Our dentist can evaluate and recommend additional treatments or alternatives to achieve uniform results.
