FAQ
Everything you're wondering.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
+
Yes. Whitening is safe for healthy teeth and gums when it's done properly. We use professional gels and protect your gums the whole time.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
+
Most people don't feel any pain. Some feel a little sensitivity for a day or two afterwards, and it goes away on its own.
How long does teeth whitening last?
+
Usually around 3 to 4 months. The nice part is that by the time you come back for a touch-up, you're already starting from a brighter shade. How long it lasts also depends on your diet and habits, like coffee, tea and smoking.
How many shades whiter will my teeth get?
+
It depends on the session. Our regular session can take teeth 4 to 12 shades lighter, maintenance 3 to 9, and touch-ups 2 to 4.
How long is an appointment?
+
Between about 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the session, and that includes your consultation.
Does whitening damage enamel?
+
No. Our professional gels whiten by lifting stains down to the dentin level.
Can I whiten crowns, veneers or fillings?
+
Whitening only works on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, bonding and fillings will stay the shade they are now.
What should I avoid after teeth whitening?
+
For the first 48 hours, try to skip anything that stains, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries and soy sauce, and avoid smoking.
Who shouldn't get teeth whitening?
+
We don't recommend whitening if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, under 16, or have untreated cavities, gum disease or very sensitive teeth.
Is in studio whitening better than at home strips?
+
Yes. Results last longer and the whole process is much more controlled, so you get a brighter, more even smile.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
+
Every 2 to 3 months for full sessions, depending on how sensitive your teeth were and habits like coffee, tea and smoking. Touch-ups can be done around 3 weeks after your treatment.
