Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the process of brightening the color of the teeth by using a specially formulated gel paired with an LED light. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and this fast and easy process can help blow that first impression out of the water.

Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months. Longevity of results is dependent on the client's lifestyle and oral hygiene. Avoidance of staining foods and drinks, as well as smoking, can lengthen the lasting results along with excellent oral hygiene.

Teeth whitening can be done as often as needed to maintain results, however, it is recommended to wait a minimum of 4 weeks in between sessions to keep the teeth safe. How often a client gets their teeth whitened will depend on the enamel structure of the teeth and the longevity of their results.

Getting your teeth whitened should not hurt. We use a formula that is gentle but effective, meaning no pain should be experienced during the whitening process. Depending on the clients sensitivity, an even gentler formula can be used to alleviate any sensitivity issues during the session.

No. In moderation, teeth whitening is not bad for your teeth. Whitening your teeth is not harmful to the enamel unless performed too frequently. Teeth whitening can be done every 4 to 12 weeks at most.

Yes. Veneers, caps and fillings can be whitened the same as natural teeth. With this being said, there are some limitations to how they are whitened. Dental restorations collect stains the same way natural teeth do. Veneers, caps and fillings are color matched to the clients teeth when installed, meaning that they can only be whitened to their originally installed color.

Smoking should be avoided for at least 24 hours after getting your teeth whitened. Smoking causes staining and during the first 24 hours the pores in the teeth remain open from LED exposure, making them more susceptible to staining. If smoking is necessary in the 24 hours following whitening, it is recommended to brush and rinse the teeth afterwards.

Coffee and tea should be avoided for 24 hours after getting your teeth whitened. This is because the pores in the teeth remain open from the exposure to LED light, making the teeth more susceptible to staining. After the 48 hour waiting period, you can drink tea and coffee again, but it is recommended to rinse afterwards to avoid premature staining.
