Whitening products only work on natural teeth and won’t change the color of existing veneers, fillings, or crowns. We’ll carefully evaluate current restorations to ensure you achieve evenly beautiful results.
How long do the results last?
Your results can last 1-3 years, but that depends on your maintenance. Once you have brightened your smile, a little maintenance can go a long way.
Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush and floss your teeth daily to remove surface stains and plaque.
Watch what you consume: Limit coffee, red wine, tea, and heavily pigmented foods.
Routine dental visits: Maintain routine dental check-ups and cleanings.
Use touch-up kit: Use your at-home whitening trays to maintain the desired shade.
Does teeth whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Teeth whitening temporarily opens micropores in your enamel to remove stains. This is the reason you may experience mild sensitivity, especially when consuming hot, cold, or sweet foods. The good news? This usually resolves within a few days. Your dentist can recommend a desensitizing toothpaste to enhance comfort.
Can I take coffee after teeth whitening?
It is best to avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark-colored substances for the first 24-48 hours after whitening. Your teeth are more susceptible to staining during this period. Afterward, you can take coffee, but with caution. Use a straw to minimize contact, and brush or rinse your teeth soon after.

If whitening is not the best option for your smile, you still have options. Your dentist can recommend dental veneers, bonding, or crowns to disguise stubborn discoloration with long-lasting results.
