Teeth Whitening FAQs
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
Our in-office treatments are surprisingly fast. How fast? We can give you a noticeably brighter smile in less than an hour. So, you can see why so many patients who have an important event coming up, like their wedding, love this cosmetic dental treatment!
Important reminder: While we can often deliver gorgeous results in a single visit, it’s important not to wait until the last minute to schedule an appointment with our cosmetic dentist in Morristown. After all, it may take more than one treatment to achieve the level of brightness you desire, and preliminary care may be needed before that.
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
Unfortunately, the results of your whitening treatment will not last forever. They can, however, last for 3-6 months if you take good care of your smile. That starts with daily habits, like brushing and flossing, and extends to coming to our office every six months for a checkup and cleaning.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Sometimes, patients are hesitant to pursue their dream smiles because they are worried that the treatment they need will hurt. The good news is that teeth whitening treatments are entirely custom, which dramatically decreases the risk of tooth sensitivity. Plus, if you’re naturally prone to sensitivity, there are a few things we can do to help, including spacing out your treatments and having you use a desensitizing toothpaste.
Can I Drink Coffee After Whitening My Teeth?
As you know, frequent coffee consumption is one of the leading causes of dental discoloration. So, it’s important that you steer clear of this caffeinated beverage immediately following your whitening treatment. Even after you get the green light to start drinking it again, it’s important that you use a straw to prevent it from coming in contact with your teeth. If possible, rinse your mouth with clean water when you’re done, and brush your teeth about 20 minutes after that.
Does Teeth Whitening Work on Dental Crowns?
No, whitening treatments do not work on dental crowns. That’s yet another reason the initial consultation is so important! At this visit, we will complete a comprehensive oral exam to determine if any preliminary care is needed and if you have any existing dental work. That way, the final result is a smile that’s healthy, beautiful, and seamless.
Important reminder: Although dental crowns are crafted from stain-resistant materials, you need to take good care of them to keep them in pristine condition. That starts with brushing and flossing consistently and extends to breaking bad habits, like eating crunchy foods and chewing on ice cubes.
