Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening
Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Professional whitening works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums whose discoloration is primarily extrinsic, meaning staining that has built up on the surface of the enamel from food, beverages, tobacco, or aging. If you have active cavities, gum disease, or significant enamel erosion, those conditions need to be addressed before whitening begins. Whitening also does not change the color of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, bridges, or tooth-colored fillings, so patients with visible restorations in the smile zone may want to discuss their options with Dr. Mersh before proceeding. Teens under 16, pregnant patients, and those with known sensitivity to peroxide are generally not ideal candidates for whitening treatment.
How Long Do Whitening Results Last?
Results vary based on your habits and how well you maintain your teeth after treatment, but most patients enjoy noticeably brighter results for one to three years with proper care. A 2023 study published by the National Institutes of Health found that both in-office and take-home whitening systems produced meaningful color change that remained measurable at six months post-treatment, with at-home and in-office results converging over time. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, maintaining consistent oral hygiene, and using periodic touch-up trays are the most effective ways to extend your results. We provide custom take-home trays for exactly this purpose, so maintaining your outcome between visits is straightforward.
Will Whitening Make My Teeth Sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening treatment, particularly to cold temperatures. This is common and typically resolves within a day or two. We take steps to minimize sensitivity before and during treatment, including using desensitizing agents when appropriate. If you already have sensitive teeth, let us know at your consultation so we can select the approach that keeps you most comfortable throughout the process.
