Fastest Teeth Whitening Available
Have a wedding to go to tomorrow and want to have the brightest possible smile? We get a lot of clients who want fast results. In-office whitening commonly involves having to come in for several visits, with each one lasting about 30 minutes.
We have faster techniques available now, though. We can whiten your teeth in a single two-hour visit so you can get to that wedding with maximum results.
Side Effects of Whitening
Whitening is considered a harmless procedure. Some people experience temporary increased sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks, but this only lasts a few days for most people. We also recommend visiting us before beginning to whiten your teeth on your own.
The excessive use of bleaching agents can erode your teeth and damage them. To prevent this from happening, visit our office, and we’ll be able to give you advice on how to effectively whiten your teeth at home without damaging them.
Whitening False Teeth
Unfortunately, false teeth can’t be whitened. We receive complaints from people who had their teeth whitened at home or the dentist’s office but didn’t notice changes to their false teeth. That’s because only natural teeth are affected by whitening agents. Implants, bridges, and other forms of false teeth won’t be whitened.
How Long Do Effects Last
Your teeth should stay white for about three years. Once they start to stain again and lose their brightness, you can whiten them again. To keep them white as long as possible, cut back or abstain from tobacco products and caffeine. These substances play the biggest role in staining and darkening our teeth.
