Patient Instruction In-office Whitening Mild to moderate sensitivity may occur. This usually passes within 24 hours after treatment is completed. If the sensitivity is severe or persists, contact our office. Teeth Whitening works best on yellow stained teeth. Grey teeth are more difficult to whiten, or may not respond to treatment. Such cases may require porcelain veneers to achieve the desired results. Results can be quite dramatic: However, upon completion of the teeth whitening process, the color will blend and re-hydrate for a more natural look. Long-term results vary from patient to patient. This can depend on many factors including habits such as smoking or drinking coffee, tea, wine, and/or cola. Avoid these for at least 24 hours. Touch-up applications may be needed every 3-6 months. This can usually be accomplished in 1-2 home treatments. Home whitening kits are available through our office. Existing restorations (fillings), crowns, and bonding will not whiten. Therefore, these restorations may need to be changed in order to match your new smile. As with all medical and dental procedures no guarantees have been expressed or implied. If you have unsightly old silver restorations, ask us about changing them to bonded tooth colored restorations. Old crowns with dark gum lines can be changed to more natural tooth colored porcelain crowns. If your friends wonder why you are smiling so much, tell them about us. It would be our pleasure to help them achieve dental health for the best of their lives too.
