Q. Is teeth whitening safe?
A. Yes, years of teeth whitening treatments by Dental Offices have proven that it is safe. If directions for use are followed, home application is also safe. If problems such as teeth sensitivity or gum irritations are experienced, the frequency of use should be reduced from every day to every other day. Some people experience mild to moderate teeth sensitivity however, it normally subsides quickly following completion of treatment.
Q. How long will it take until my teeth are whiter?
A. Whitening results often become apparent during the first few treatments, but typically a noticeable whitening effect becomes evident after about 8-10 treatments. Teeth will continue to whiten with each successive treatment until desired results are achieved.
Q. How long do results last?
A. For most people, the results are long lasting. Exposure to coffees, teas, tobacco, red wines and certain other stain producing substances will eventually darken teeth again over time.
After initial treatment, some people do touch-ups every 6-8 months based on the amount of stain producing substances that they are exposed to.
