FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is very safe when supervised by a dental professional. At Grand Prix Dental & Orthodontics, we first conduct a thorough examination to ensure you're a good candidate for whitening. We use high-quality whitening agents and custom-fitted trays to protect your gums from irritation. Professional whitening is much safer than over-the-counter options because we can assess your specific needs and monitor your results, adjusting the treatment plan if needed to prevent sensitivity or enamel damage.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Professional teeth whitening results typically last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on your habits and oral hygiene. Factors that affect longevity include consumption of staining foods and beverages (coffee, red wine, tea), tobacco use, and oral hygiene practices. To maximize your results, we recommend avoiding strongly pigmented foods and drinks for at least 48 hours after treatment, using a straw when consuming beverages that may stain, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your bright smile indefinitely.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of discoloration?
Professional teeth whitening works best on extrinsic stains (those on the outer layer of the tooth), which are typically yellow or brown in color and caused by foods, drinks, and tobacco. Intrinsic stains (inside the tooth) or discoloration caused by medications, fluorosis, or trauma may not respond as well to traditional whitening. Whitening is also not effective on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. During your consultation, we'll assess the type of discoloration you have and recommend the most effective treatment option, which might include alternative cosmetic procedures like bonding or veneers.
Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after teeth whitening, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Our professional whitening treatments are designed to minimize sensitivity through properly controlled application and concentration of whitening agents. For patients with naturally sensitive teeth, we offer desensitizing treatments before and after whitening, and can adjust the concentration and application time of whitening products. We also provide special toothpaste to use before and after treatment to reduce sensitivity, and can recommend a more gradual whitening approach with our take-home kits if needed.
