teeth whitening

Subconsciously, when we meet someone for the first time, we notice several aesthetic factors about them: their clothing, body type, and smile, for example. Unfortunately, no matter how much we try to take care of our teeth, we can’t live a full life without our pearly whites being damaged by our diets, becoming dull, or taking on a yellowish tint as some point. Luckily, we have the teeth whitening treatment you need to bring that bright and shining smile of yours back to life. But before you consider consulting with an expert, you may want to educate yourself on the process of teeth whitening by reviewing some of the most frequently asked questions and their corresponding answers.

What are the Different Teeth Whitening Systems?

There is a multitude of different whitening/cleansing systems, all of which have varying effects on the whiteness of our teeth. The good news is we offer in-office treatments as well as at-home treatments, which give you the ability to receive and maintain quality results while remaining in the comfort of your own home.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes, many clinical studies have proven that professional teeth whitening and bleaching has been proven completely safe.

Can I Get My Teeth Whitened?

The majority of clients can get their teeth whitened, but it is recommended that pregnant women and patrons under the age of 18-years-old consult with a dental physician before considering getting their teeth whitened.

Are Whitening Treatments Bad for My Teeth?

Not at all, especially when you use professional services. Many recipients are concerned about the health of the protective enamel that covers the teeth, but medical-grade whitening systems do no harm to the enamel, the dentin of the teeth, or the gums.

How Long Does the Whitening Effect Last?

The lasting effect of whitening treatment varies, but studies have shown that it can last anywhere from months to years. Some researchers have revealed that a whitening treatment can last up to a decade. It is still recommended to maintain a healthy diet and avoid the over-consumption of red wine, coffee, and smoking to sustain a beautiful, sparkling smile.
