Question 1

Do I need more than one session?

Accepted Answer

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 Deluxe 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.

Question 2

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Accepted Answer

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 foods, drinks and substances like red wine, tea, coffee, tobacco, and maintain good oral hygiene, your results can last up to two years.

Question 3

What results should I expect?

Accepted Answer

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 60-minute Deluxe 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.

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.

Question 4

What to Expect During a Teeth Whitening Session?

Accepted Answer

A teeth whitening session is either 30 or 60 minutes long.
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, we start with a barrier to protect your gums to prevent sensitivity. Next, comes the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. Then you process under the special LED light, which activates the whitening agent to remove stains. During the 60 minute session the gel is applied 2x for maximum results.

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.

Question 5

Will I feel any pain or sensitivity?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

How quickly can I schedule an appointment?

Accepted Answer

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.

or text/call us at (737) 781-4238.

Question 7

How long after a session can I eat or drink?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

What causes discoloration?

Accepted Answer

Some teeth are naturally discolored or stained as they develop, or discoloration can be caused by injuries to your teeth, from medications like tetracycline you may have taken, or excessive fluoride.

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.

Question 10

Does this product contain any alcohol?

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 11

What results should I expect?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

Will your product whiten my crown / veneers / bridges / composites / caps / etc.?

Accepted Answer

No generally the whitening agent does not change the color of dental crowns, veneers, bridges, composites, or caps to the same level as natural teeth.  
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.

Question 13

Will this treatment whiten all of the teeth?

Accepted Answer

In-office teeth whitening treatments focus on brightening your smile teeth, which are the ones visible when you smile.

Question 14

Do I need to get my teeth cleaned before the whitening treatment?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 15

If I have braces can I get my teeth whitened?

Accepted Answer

No, we can't whiten teeth with braces, but once you remove your braces teeth whitening can really refresh your smile.

Question 16

Is there an age requirement?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 17

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

48-Hour Cancellation/Reschedule Policy:

We kindly ask for a 48-hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Without this notice, you will need to prepay in order to reschedule another treatment.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We're here to make your experience smooth and enjoyable. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Question 18

How can I reduce tooth sensitivity during and after whitening treatment?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 19

What is the benefit of doing an in office treatment vs. a home whitening kit?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 20

Can I whiten my teeth while using Invisalign?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can whiten your teeth while using Invisalign. 
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.

Question 21

Is there any preparation I need to do before the treatment?

Accepted Answer

To help prevent sensitivity, we recommend you start brushing with Sensodyne or another sensitivity toothpaste 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.

If you haven't had your teeth professionally cleaned in the last six months, we recommend doing so. We also suggest a cleaning 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 as well. If you remove the plaque after the whitening treatment, you might see some discoloration since we were unable to reach the tooth surface.

Avoid brushing your teeth for a few hours immediately before your treatment. Brushing too hard can cause tiny abrasions on your gums, which may become irritated when the whitening agent is applied.

Question 22

Can you whiten when you have fillers in lips?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 23

Can I do the whitening treatment if I have jewelry attached to my teeth or mouth (cheek rings, lip rings, tongue rings)?

Accepted Answer

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, and may or may not be affected by the whitening. However, patients with dental jewelry usually undergo treatment without any issues.

Question 24

Do you accept FSA, HSA, or Flex Spending cards?

Accepted Answer

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.
