Yes, your whitening results are visible right away following your treatment. You will be able to enjoy your smile as soon as you leave our office.

Over time, your teeth can start to look dull or yellow, leading to a loss of confidence in your smile. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and acidic foods can dull your tooth enamel. The aging process can also contribute to an overall dimming of your smile by making your teeth look darker. With proper whitening treatment, your dentist can reverse yellowing and staining for a more confident and youthful smile.

The whitening gels can’t penetrate the porcelain, ceramic, or composite resin used in restorations, which can lead to uneven results. If you have extensive dental work, your dentist will discuss alternatives to whitening that will give you the results you’re looking for.
Yes, teeth whitening is regarded as a very safe and common procedure. Our team uses the highest quality bleaching formulas available for safety and consistency, offering professional-strength whitening gels without causing irritation or damage to your sensitive teeth and gums.
Professional teeth whitening treatment is generally very gentle on your teeth. While the process itself is comfortable, some patients may experience temporary sensitivity in their teeth while following a whitening treatment. Our dentists take every precaution to prevent sensitivity and use specific strategies to ensure your comfort at every step of treatment.
