PLEASE KEEP IN MIND

Healthy teeth are vital to the success of any whitening treatment.  For this reason we highly suggest receiving an exam, cleaning and any necessary treatment before beginning whitening treatment.

Fillings, crowns and other restorations cannot be whitened.

Teeth are naturally darker along the gum line. These areas may require more time to lighten than the rest of the tooth surface and usually remain slightly darker.

Some patients experience tooth sensitivity to cold or nonspecific sensitivity in their teeth, gums, tongue, lips or throat with bleaching. Using high fluoride, desensitizing toothpaste such as Sensodyne before and during whitening treatment is highly suggested to decrease sensitivity.

Try to minimize consumption of coffee, tobacco, red wine, dark colas as they can re-stain your teeth over time.
