A teeth whitening session lasts either 30 or 60 minutes and includes up to three whitening gel treatments. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by our teeth whitening specialist and directed to the whitening chair. The specialist will assess the stain level of your teeth using a tooth shading guide and take a pre-treatment photo. You'll then apply a blue protective gel to your gums to prevent sensitivity. After applying the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to your teeth, you'll undergo two 20-minute sessions under a laser blue bleaching light, which activates the whitening agent. After the treatments, a post-session photo is taken to compare the results. You'll then rinse your mouth thoroughly, and the session is complete. Feel free to ask any questions during the session; we're here to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.

We guarantee that you will receive anywhere from 2-8 shades improvement. 97% of our laser light and whitening gel customers get an average 5-6 shades of difference while many of our clients experience even more dramatic results than that. All teeth are different due to body chemistry, genetics, dental health, and mineral imbalances, etc. but as long as healthy teeth and gums you should see great results.

Actually, one of the main reasons most people love our system is that pain and sensitivity is pretty much non-existent. However, if you already have sensitive teeth, you probably will experience some sensitivity but we have never had anyone complain about major sensitivity issues. One of the preventative measures we take at the office is having you apply a vitamin e oil to your gums before the treatment. This protects the gums from sensitivity and irritation during the treatment. Some people may feel a little tingling sensation, white gum line (also known as blanching), or very little sensitivity. All of these side effects are normal and hold no real danger. Usually this will only last for a couple of hours and will not exceed 24 hours.

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

Same-day appointments may be available if there are cancellations. Generally, you can schedule an appointment within the same week. To check availability and book your session, please call us at (512) 814-6346 or visit our website.

Research shows that if your teeth and gums are healthy, teeth whitening is generally safe. However, if you have tooth decay or gum disease, it's best to skip this treatment. And when it comes to pregnant women, even though there aren’t any known side effects, we play it safe and recommend avoiding it. It’s all about being cautious and keeping you and your smile healthy.

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.

After your treatment, avoid eating or drinking for 2-3 hours. Since your teeth's pores are open, steer clear of dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and marinara sauce, as well as smoking, for at least 24 hours. If it can stain a white shirt, it can stain your teeth. Remember, your teeth will continue to whiten as the bleach remains active for a couple of hours after the session.

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.

Your dental health and happiness are our priority, and we're eager to find the best solution for you.

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.
