-
How white will my teeth get?Individual results vary, depending on your genetics, what type of stain you have (yellow=easiest to remove, brown=somewhat more difficult to remove, gray=difficult may require a series of treatments), and how thick your enamel is.
-
Do I need a follow up appointment?Two follow-ups will greatly improve and maintain results. We typically see 2 – 8 shades improvement in the first session: then 1-3 shades in follow-up sessions.
-
Will my teeth relapse?3 sessions are recommended to prevent relapse. Relapse is when bleached teeth revert back to their original stained color. It doesn’t happen in every case & is unpredictable which individuals it affects. Getting 3 sessions greatly helps prevent relapse.
-
Do I need a Teeth Whitening Pen?At home treatments are meant for maintenance, to remove daily stains but not for tougher, deeper stains from years of accumulation. Therefore they are only 30% as effective as in-office treatments in the presence of the whitening accelerator light.
-
How Long Will My Results Last?Individual results vary, depending on your tendency to absorb stains, your diet (coffee, tea, red wine, sodas, etc.) and lifestyle (tobacco products). Results can last up to 2 years, with proper maintenance: using the Whitening-To-Go pen, avoiding staining products, avoiding enamel-stripping substances (drugstore white strips, sugar, sodas), avoiding drugstore whitening toothpastes that contain silica or other abrasive ingredients which scratch enamel.
-
Is It Safe?Yes. This is an FDA-approved procedure.
-
Will It Cause Sensitivity?No. Our specially formulated gel is pH balanced & doesn’t contain citric acid, a preservative commonly found in many over-the-counter whitening strips, known for causing sensitivity.
