Whether you'll need one session or more depends on your starting shade and your desired outcome. While teeth whitening is a process, about 75% of our clients achieve a satisfactory level of whitening after just one Maximum Teeth Whitening session. Understanding the Process While a single session can provide great results, achieving a very bright, "pearly white" shade (typically S12-S6 on the whitening scale) may require additional ramp-up sessions. This is because we can only safely whiten your teeth so much in a single session to ensure your comfort and the overall health of your teeth. The final shade you reach is a balance between your natural starting point and your whitening goals.

We recommend a follow-up treatment every six months to a year to maintain optimal brightness.

The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends on your habits and oral care. If you avoid staining substances like red wine, coffee, and tobacco, and maintain good oral hygiene, your results can last up to two years. Teeth whitening is a progressive treatment, so the more treatments you undergo, the better the results.

With our Standard 30-minute Teeth Whitening session, you can expect your teeth to become 6–8 shades lighter. For a more dramatic transformation, our Maximum 60-minute Teeth Whitening session can lighten your teeth by up to 12–14 shades. What if I want a "Pearly White" smile? Achieving a "pearly white" smile (S12-S6 on the whitening scale) may require additional ramp-up sessions. We can only safely whiten your teeth so much in one sitting while prioritizing your comfort and the health of your teeth. The final result is a balance between your natural starting shade and your desired level of whiteness.

A teeth whitening session is either 30 or 60 minutes long and includes one whitening gel treatment. Here’s a breakdown of what a typical session looks like: Your Arrival and Initial Assessment Upon arrival, a teeth whitening specialist will greet you and guide you to the whitening room. You'll complete client consent paperwork and then be directed to the whitening table. The specialist will use a shade guide to assess the current shade of your teeth and take a pre-treatment photo. The Whitening Process First, a blue protective gel is applied to your gums to prevent sensitivity. Next, a hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied to your teeth. You will then sit under a laser blue bleaching light, which activates the whitening agent to remove stains. This process is done in either a single session or a longer, two-part session, depending on your treatment choice. Final Steps and Aftercare After the treatment, you'll rinse your mouth to remove any residue and the protective barrier from your gums. We'll take a post-session photo to compare your results and document your final shade. Then, we will discuss your results and answer any questions you may have. We’ll also give you instructions for the next 24-48 hours and help you set up a maintenance schedule to keep your smile bright.

Most people experience no pain or sensitivity with our whitening system, which is one of the main reasons clients love it. However, if you already have sensitive teeth, you might experience some mild sensitivity. We've never had a client complain of major sensitivity issues. To help prevent sensitivity, we recommend you start brushing with Sensodyne or another toothpaste for sensitive teeth as soon as possible before your appointment. You should continue to use it in the weeks following your treatment to help manage any potential sensitivity. Before we begin, we'll talk with you about any sensitivity concerns you have. If you are prone to sensitivity, you'll have the option to have a protective vitamin E oil applied to your gums for an extra layer of comfort during the session. After the session, some clients might notice a tingling sensation or a temporary white line along their gums, also known as blanching. These are normal side effects and typically fade within a few hours, though they may last up to 24 hours.

You can typically schedule an appointment within 24 hours using our automated booking system on the website. While same-day appointments may be available, we can't guarantee them. To check for availability and book your session, please visit our website https://www.whitenteeth.online/book-online

After your treatment, avoid eating or drinking anything other than plain water for 2-3 hours. For at least 24 hours after your session, you'll need to follow a "white diet" and avoid foods and drinks that can stain. Your teeth's pores are open and more susceptible to staining. Avoid:

• Dark-colored liquids like coffee, tea, and red wine.

• Dark-colored sauces like marinara and soy sauce.

• Foods with strong dyes or colors.

• Smoking.

A simple rule to remember is: If it can stain a white shirt, it can stain your teeth. A Note on Your Results Your teeth will continue to whiten as the bleaching agent remains active for a couple of hours after your session. Following the aftercare instructions is the best way to protect your new, brighter smile.

We are located in Lakeway, Texas, on Highway 620, near the Lexus dealership.

Some teeth are naturally discolored or stained as they develop. Usually, stains are from tea, coffee, smoking, juices, colas, wine, age, or anything that might stain a white t-shirt. This discoloration happens when stains penetrate the enamel and affect the dentin, which is the white part of the teeth.

Understanding why teeth stain can help us make informed choices. By knowing the causes, we can better care for our smiles. Remember, maintaining good oral hygiene and reducing exposure to stain-causing substances can help keep your teeth looking their best.

No.

We guarantee you'll see an improvement of 2-8 shades. Remember, everyone's teeth are different due to factors like body chemistry, genetics, dental health, and mineral imbalances. However, as long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you should see great results.

Almost everyone can benefit from teeth whitening if their teeth and gums are healthy. It's important to remember that teeth can't be bleached whiter than what is genetically possible. Some stains, like those from tetracycline, can't be removed, and stains from excessive fluoride or porous teeth may see minimal results. Whitening is a great way to enhance your smile, but it's essential to set realistic expectations. Keep your teeth and gums healthy to get the best results, and feel free to ask your dentist any questions you might have. Remember, a brighter smile is within reach, and we're here to help you every step of the way!

The standard procedure for teeth whitening is to first whiten all adjacent teeth. After that, wait two weeks for the color to stabilize. Then, visit your dentist to have them match the crown, veneers, bridges, or other dental work to your new tooth shade. If you've had a crown, veneers, or other dental work for many years, whitening can help return the rest of your teeth to the original shade they had before the dental work was placed.

In-office teeth whitening treatments focus on brightening your smile teeth, which are the ones visible when you smile. While retraction devices are used, it's a challenge to apply the bleach to your molars without affecting your gums or the inside of your cheeks. This process might sound tricky, but it's all about precision to ensure your smile looks its best. Remember, whitening is a safe and effective way to enhance your smile, so you can feel more confident in your everyday interactions. Whether you're curious about trying it for the first time or just want to know more, understanding the procedure can make the decision easier and more reassuring.

Getting your teeth cleaned beforehand is a great strategy but not required. We recommend it if you see visible plaque between your teeth in the mirror. This is because if you have plaque and we whiten your teeth, the plaque will whiten too. If you remove the plaque after the whitening, you might see some discoloration since we couldn’t reach the tooth due to the plaque.

We can't whiten teeth if there's any metal attached or touching them. The mix of hydrogen peroxide and our lighting systems might cause black discoloration on the teeth. If you have metal on your teeth, let's explore other options to enhance your smile. We're here to help and support you, ensuring you understand all your choices in a friendly and accessible way. Your dental health and happiness are our priority, and we're eager to find the best solution for you. Feel free to ask any questions; we're here to make your experience as positive and informative as possible.

The age requirement is 16 years of age with a parent accompanying at the appointment. Parent must sign consent form.

To reduce tooth sensitivity during and after whitening treatment, we recommend using a sensitive toothpaste like Sensodyne or Fluoridex Daily Defense Sensitivity Relief for a few weeks before and after the procedure. Teeth sensitivity occurs because the whitening process dehydrates your teeth, leaving the pores open. This sensitivity is temporary, and your saliva will naturally rehydrate your teeth within about an hour, reducing the sensitivity. Additionally, avoid consuming very hot or cold foods and drinks immediately after the treatment.

TIME & CONVENIENCE: Home whitening treatments can take 7-30 days to show results. You'll need to use the kit daily for up to a month to get the desired effect.

With our in-office treatment, you'll achieve the same, if not better, results in just about an hour. You’ll leave our office with noticeably whiter teeth, results that would otherwise take days or weeks with a home kit.

If you’re looking to save time and achieve fantastic results, our treatment is a great choice.

Yes, you can whiten your teeth while using Invisalign. However, it's best to remove your Invisalign trays during the whitening process. If your retainer irritates your gums, wait 24-48 hours after treatment before putting it back in to avoid discomfort. Always consult with your orthodontist before starting any whitening treatment to ensure it aligns with your specific dental plan.

Before your treatment, there's little prep needed. Our main advice is to avoid brushing your teeth for a few hours beforehand. Brushing too hard can cause tiny abrasions on your gums. These can get irritated when the whitening agent is applied. Just skip brushing right before your appointment, and you'll be all set!

We use a cheek retractor to gently open your mouth for better access to your teeth. If your lip fillers are recent, this might affect their settling. It's best to consult your doctor about how long you should wait after a filler treatment before teeth whitening.

Whitening doesn't harm metal or dental work. Our whitening agent's main ingredient is strong hydrogen peroxide. Low-quality dental jewelry, which might use weaker cement or glue than dental offices, may or may not be affected by the whitening. However, patients with dental jewelry usually undergo treatment without any issues.

No, we do not accept FSA, HSA, or Flex Spending cards. We are a cosmetic teeth whitening practice, not a licensed dental office. These types of accounts typically cover medical or dental expenses, and as we focus solely on cosmetic treatments, our services do not qualify.
