FAQs
Q: How long does teeth whitening last?
A: The results of professional teeth whitening can last from several months to over a year, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, and red wine) and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prolong your results.
Q: Is teeth whitening safe?
A: Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed by a dental professional like Dr. Patel. We use whitening agents that are both effective and gentle on your teeth and gums. Any temporary tooth sensitivity you experience is typically mild and subsides shortly after the procedure.
Q: Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains?
A: Teeth whitening is highly effective for removing surface stains caused by food, drinks, and tobacco. However, it may not be as effective for intrinsic stains (those within the tooth) caused by certain medications or trauma. Dr. Patel will assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your specific case.
Q: How often can I get my teeth whitened?
A: It’s recommended to wait at least six months to a year between professional teeth whitening treatments. Over-whitening can lead to tooth sensitivity or damage. Dr. Patel will help you determine a safe and effective whitening schedule based on your individual needs.
Q: Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
A: Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity after teeth whitening, but this is usually temporary. Dr. Patel can recommend desensitizing toothpaste or other products to minimize any discomfort.
Q: What can I do to maintain my whitening results?
A: To keep your teeth white after treatment, maintain a good oral hygiene routine by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Limiting your intake of stain-causing foods and drinks and scheduling regular dental cleanings with Dr. Patel will also help preserve your bright smile.
Q: Can I whiten my teeth if I have dental restorations?
A: Teeth whitening treatments will not affect the color of dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have restorations, Dr. Patel can discuss your options for achieving a uniform smile.
