It depends on how sensitive your teeth are. You’re welcome to book an appointment with us and we can discuss your dental whitening options.

You may experience sensitivity during the treatment process, but you shouldn’t experience this once your treatment is complete. If you are experiencing any pain or sensitivity after your teeth whitening sessions, please contact us with any concerns you have.

While this procedure is safe and effective, it should be done in moderation. Overdoing whitening treatments can cause long-lasting sensitivity and make your teeth fragile. We recommend spacing out your teeth whitening treatments. You shouldn’t have to receive treatment more than twice a year.

Treatments shouldn’t cause you to feel any pain, although those with teeth sensitivities may experience some discomfort. This is why we take the time to go over your dental history so you can decide whether a teeth whitening treatment would be a good fit for you.

Of course, you’ll continue having your morning coffees, and your teeth will naturally yellow again over time. Most patients who come in for an in-office whitening treatment keep their pearly white smiles for about a year, but you can extend that time to two or even three years with proper maintenance and care.

You can extend the longevity of your smile by taking good care of your teeth. Proper brushing and flossing techniques, preferably with an electric toothbrush, will keep your smile looking great for a long time. Try to avoid any foods or drinks that may stain your teeth – a good rule of thumb is that if a food or drink would stain a white t-shirt, it will probably stain your teeth too. Things to avoid or drink in moderation would include red wine, soda, coffee or tea.
