FAQ
Does whitening hurt? Some people have mild, temporary sensitivity. It usually fades within a day or two, and a sensitivity toothpaste helps.
How long do results last? From several months to a few years, depending on your diet and habits. Take-home trays make top-ups easy.
Will it whiten my crowns or fillings? No. Whitening only works on natural teeth. If you have visible restorations, we'll talk about options like veneers or bonding.
Is whitening safe for my enamel? Yes, when supervised by a dentist and used as directed.
How do I keep my teeth white? Rinse after coffee, tea or red wine, use a straw for dark drinks, and keep up with regular cleanings.
