The length of time that your teeth remain white after professional treatment depends mainly on lifestyle habits like diet, smoking, and oral hygiene practices such as brushing twice daily and flossing once daily. On average, you can expect results that last for six months up to two years, depending on these factors; however, it is possible, with proper care and maintenance, to keep your smile looking great even longer!
During most professional teeth whitening procedures, some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity for up to 24 hours after their appointment – usually during eating or drinking hot/cold beverages – but this should pass quickly and not cause any lasting pain or discomfort. It’s important to talk with your dentist beforehand if you have any concerns about sensitivity so they can make sure you have a comfortable experience during your treatment.
Depending on the treatment type, professional teeth whitening can take anywhere from half an hour to a couple hours. Our treatments typically last 30 minutes. Your dentist will be able to give you an estimate of how long your particular treatment will take.
Absolutely! Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile. When performed by a qualified dental professional, it is considered a very low-risk procedure that can produce dramatic results without causing damage to the enamel of your teeth.
The cost of teeth whitening at the dentist can vary depending on the type of procedure you get and the number of appointments required to achieve your desired results. Talk to your dentist to discuss the pricing options available.
