Let's Chat About Your Questions
Here's what patients commonly ask us about laser teeth whitening.
How white will my teeth actually get?
Most patients see their teeth brighten by 4-8 shades in just one session! Results vary depending on your starting shade and the type of staining, but you'll definitely leave with a noticeably brighter smile. We'll show you a shade guide beforehand! ✨
Will it make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity for 24-48 hours after treatment — this is normal and fades quickly. We use desensitizing agents to minimize discomfort, and we'll recommend a sensitivity toothpaste if needed. Most patients tolerate it very well! 😊
How long do results last?
With good care, results typically last 1-3 years. Avoiding staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) helps maintain your bright smile longer. Touch-up treatments can extend your results — many patients come back annually! ☕
Is laser whitening safe for my enamel?
Absolutely! Professional whitening is completely safe when done by a trained dentist. The gel works on stains within your enamel without damaging its structure. It's much safer than over-the-counter products when used correctly! 🦷
Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening only works on natural teeth — crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color. We'll examine your smile first and discuss options. If you have visible restorations, we can help you achieve a natural, even result! 💪
