Results depend on the type of whitening you are doing. For in-office whitening procedures, you can often see results in the very first visit. After only 3-4 visits, your teeth will reach your ideal shade. If you are using an at-home kit, results can take a few weeks.
Yes – we recommend having a professional cleaning prior to whitening your teeth. Plaque and tartar buildup won’t respond to whitening, so it is always a good idea to have this removed so you can achieve ideal results.
Whitening your teeth is not painful, however it can cause sensitivity so you may want to avoid food or drinks that are too hot or cold immediately following your procedure. If there is additional discomfort due to the sensitivity, you can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever. Discuss this with your dentist and we can help find a way to minimize sensitivity after future procedures.
If you take proper care of your smile and avoid food, drink and habits that can stain your teeth, your in-office tooth whitening should last up to a year. At-home whitening should last several months.
