Whitening

For people who have really yellow teeth what you can expect is a result that is about two shades whiter than what you have now. Even with the most sophisticated Dental bleaching systems, there is a variability in results - 3 shades whiter to no change at all. As this is a cosmetic procedure, our service cannot guarantee you a specific result.

How long does the Dental bleaching last? We like to compare bleaching to a face lift. Even the best face lifts deteriorate with time but you still look better 10 years later than if you didn’t have one in the first place.

What we have in common is that they take off the perception of aging and take years off your appearance. Typically bleaching can last 10 years depending on whether or not you smoke, consume acid containing foods, or consume staining foods like red wines and coffee. Even though bleaching can fade, it still delays the eventual darkening that happens to us all.

Some people have tooth colored fillings in their teeth that match their yellow teeth before the Dental bleaching. After the Dental bleaching, the teeth whiten but the fillings stay the same color. Consequently, these fillings will need to be replaced at an extra cost after the Dental bleaching is completed.

Additionally, crowns or porcelain restorations in conspicuous areas will not lighten from bleaching and may not match the shade of your newly bleached teeth.

Another word of caution - those people with sensitive teeth should avoid bleaching procedures. Dental Bleaching could increase the sensitivity of your teeth. Some people even experience extreme pain. If you have sensitive teeth but would still like to bleach your teeth, we suggest that you first correct the sensitivity problem.
