While results vary from person to person based on lifestyle habits (such as diet and smoking) and oral hygiene routines, professional tooth whitening typically lasts between 6-12 months. It will eventually need to be touched up again by your dental provider or through home maintenance treatments recommended by them (such as custom trays). Additionally, regular brushing & flossing combined with avoiding staining foods and drinks helps ensure that your results last longer and thus require fewer touch-ups down the road!
Generally speaking, no! Everyone’s experience is different, but most people find that there isn’t any pain associated with professional teeth whitening services. Some people may experience mild sensitivity during or after their treatment which usually subsides within 24 hours after their procedure has been completed. If you experience sensitivity during your procedure, please inform your dental practitioner immediately so they can adjust intensity levels as needed for additional comfort and safety for you.
Professional teeth whitening typically takes between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on how many sessions are needed to achieve desired results. During each session, a specialized bleaching gel is applied directly onto your tooth surface, which activates with light. You will stay in the chair while this process is repeated several times until you reach optimal levels of tooth brightness. Afterward, you will receive instructions on touch-up treatments or home maintenance methods to maintain your results over time.
Yes! Teeth whitening at a professional dental office is highly safe when done correctly and under the supervision of a qualified dentist or dental hygienist. Professional teeth whitening uses special bleaching gels that are specifically designed for use in a clinical setting. These bleaching gels are regulated by the FDA and contain higher concentrations of peroxide than products available over the counter, meaning they have a stronger bleaching effect without any dangerous side effects. Additionally, if you experience any discomfort during your procedure, your dentist will be able to reduce or discontinue treatment for your safety and comfort.
The cost of teeth whitening at the dentist varies depending on your situation and treatment plan. Factors such as the type of whitening system used, the extent of treatment required, and any additional dental procedures that may be necessary can all affect the cost. It’s best to speak with your dentist or dental provider to get an accurate estimate of what you can expect to pay.
