Is the Process Harmful to My Teeth?
Our professional teeth whitening procedure does not have any adverse effects in the short term or long term. Professional teeth whitening involves interacting with the enamel of teeth. This is why many believe there may be some negative effects. However, it is completely safe and does not alter the enamel in any way.
The material we use is completely safe, and our staff is careful throughout each professional teeth whitening process.
Will teeth whitening results last forever?

In most cases, a professional teeth whitening procedure is painless. However, if you have weak enamel, there may be some sensitivity. If that is the case, it should not last for more than a few days.
How often can teeth whitening be done?
Professional teeth whitening should be done in moderation. Most dentists will recommend the procedure be done every five to six months, depending on the patient’s situation. Overdoing it can cause long-lasting sensitivity, as well as unhealthy teeth.
At what age can teeth whitening take place?
For the most part, teeth whitening can take place once a patient reaches their teenage years. Dentists do not recommend teeth whitening for children or patients that still have baby teeth. Adults are typically the best candidates for the procedure because their teeth are developed and have years of stains.

Brush after every meal
Avoid heavily dyed beverages such as wine, tea or coffee
