Frequently Asked Questions

How white will my teeth get?

  • Teeth shades brighten on an average of 3-5 shades on the teeth shade card in the first session.  Although individual results will depend on how discolored the teeth were originally, the end result will be brighter, shiny teeth.  Remember, everyone's teeth are different and your teeth will only go as white as your teeth will go.  Everyone's teeth have a stopping point.

How long will the whitening last?

  • This varies from person to person and depends on your diet and lifestyle, but the effects usually last for one to three years with proper maintenance.  Periodic touch-up treatments are recommended for customers who frequently consume products such as coffee, dark soda, tea, red wine, tomato sauce or other staining products such as tobacco.

Is this teeth whitening product safe?

  • Yes, our products are made in USA laboratories and are FDA compliant.  Scientific research has shown that the active ingredients in the whitening gels are safe and effective for cosmetic teeth whitening.  The whitening gel does not change or damage the structure of the teeth; it merely lifts and removes the stains, making your teeth brighter.

How long does a whitening session take?

  • One whitening session takes 20 minutes to complete.  Depending on the level of discoloration you may choose a 2nd 20 minute session.  From start to finish your whitening session will take 20-60 minutes.

Does it hurt?

  • Most clients experience no sensitivity during or after the session.  A very small percentage of clients may feel some sensitivity on the teeth or soft tissues, especially if they consume very cold or hot foods or drinks within two hours after treatment.  Therefore it is recommended that clients avoid consuming hot or cold food or beverages for the first two hours following treatment.  Any sensitivity is usually gone within 24 hours.

Will this teeth whitening work on crowns, fillings, veneers, and bridges (composite materials)?

  • This whitening gel will remove staining from composite materials but will not whiten the composite materials beyond the original color of the material used.  The gel works well if your natural teeth are darker than the composite materials original color.  Teeth whitening is a good option if you plan to replace the crown or filling after your whitening treatment.  However, It will not damage or hurt the composite material.
