Results from whitening vary from person to person and on the type of stains their teeth may have at the time.  Some teeth whiten faster than others. If you are a new customer with us, we will go over your forecasted journey and desired goals to reach your preferred shade of white.

Teeth whitening can cause mild sensitivity to the teeth and gums.  Some customers experience little to no sensitivity, while other customers may need to limit the strength and time of the bleaching to avoid sensitivity. 

You may find it is helpful to use a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth prior to and after the procedure.  If you do experience sensitivity after treatment, an OTC pain reliever can usually help to reduce the symptoms.
