Teeth Whitening FAQs
Do you want to know more about our whitening treatments? Are you looking for cosmetic care to brighten your smile? Learn the answers to frequently asked questions about whitening treatment below:
What are the differences between in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments?
In-office teeth whitening is a good option for patients who want quick results. We perform our in-office treatment in under an hour, which is beneficial for patients attending events such as birthdays, weddings, and graduations.
Take-home teeth whitening consists of a kit that we provide so patients can comfortably whiten their teeth at home. However, this kit is customized to each patient and their level of sensitivity.
Can professional whitening brighten cosmetic restorations?
If you have dental crowns, porcelain veneers, or bonded teeth, they cannot be whitened with a teeth whitening treatment. This is because they are made of ceramic or biocompatible materials. But if your crowns, veneers, or bonded teeth have become discolored over time, we can provide you with new replacements.
How can I whiten my smile if I have sensitive teeth?
For patients with highly sensitive teeth, we may recommend dental bonding or porcelain veneers. Our whitening treatments are formulated with tooth sensitivity in mind. However, if patients have very sensitive teeth that do not react well to bleaching agents, we can offer cosmetic care.
How long do whitening results last?
Professional teeth whitening results typically last from six months to two years, depending on your habits. To keep your smile bright longer, we recommend:
- Avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine. You can also drink them through a straw to minimize contact with teeth.
- Don’t use tobacco products. Vaping, smoking cigarettes, or other tobacco products cause some of the worst tooth staining.
- Maintain good oral hygiene. You can brush twice daily and floss regularly.
- Visit our Newtown office every six months for professional cleanings, which remove surface stains before they become permanent.
- Use touch-up treatments as needed. We can provide additional whitening gel for your custom trays to maintain your results.
Why choose professional whitening?
You might wonder if professional whitening is worth it compared to drugstore products. Here’s why it makes a difference. First, stronger whitening agents that penetrate deeper to remove tough stains. You’ll see more dramatic results than you would with store-bought strips.
Our Newtown dentists also ensure you get custom treatment tailored to your teeth, sensitivity level, and whitening goals. This personalized approach delivers better, more predictable results.
Our experienced dental professionals will supervise treamtent and protect your gums and soft tissues during treatment. Professional treatment also creates faster results that save you time and frustration. While professional whitening works in days or weeks, drugstore products might take months to show minor improvement.
