Frequently Asked Questions
How white will my teeth become?
Many patients see their teeth brighten several shades after one appointment. Results vary depending on your starting shade and the cause of discoloration.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. Some temporary sensitivity is normal but usually disappears within a day or two.
How long does the appointment take?
Most in-office whitening appointments take about one hour.
Will whitening damage my enamel?
No. Professional whitening performed under the supervision of your dentist does not damage healthy enamel.
Is whitening covered by insurance?
Because whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure, dental insurance typically does not cover treatment. Our current whitening special helps make treatment more affordable.
