Whitening FAQ
Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
Whitening gels only work on natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns, fillings, or veneers, they will maintain their original shade while surrounding teeth lighten.
Does professional whitening damage enamel?
No. When performed by a dentist, professional whitening is safe and does not strip your enamel; it simply lifts deep-seated pigments.
How long do the results typically last?
Depending on your diet and hygiene, results usually stay vibrant for 6 months to 2 years before a touch-up is needed.
Is it safe if I have sensitive teeth?
Yes. We use specialized desensitizing agents and adjusted peroxide concentrations to ensure the process is comfortable for sensitive patients.
