the treatment.
How much whiter will my teeth be?
Your teeth will be upwards of eight shades whiter from the initial shade depending on what that shade is. However, the degree of whiteness hinges on the level of staining on your teeth. Even the mineral content of your teeth plays a role in determining the whitest possible shade.

How long will teeth whitening last?
In most cases, the whitening lasts for 3-5 months . However, the results of teeth whitening depend on your unique lifestyle, food consumption and commitment to oral care.
Does teeth whitening beautify crowns or other dental restorations?
Teeth whitening will remove any stains and will only restore the
original hue of a crown and/or a veneer.
I have a major life event approaching in the near future, when should I whiten my teeth for the best results?
The best approach is to do a preliminary consult.
In most cases you will want to whiten your teeth two-three
weeks prior to the event, and do a follow-up treatment 2 days prior to the event.
Is a dental cleaning necessary before teeth whitening?
While we will eliminate stains during the whitening process,
teeth whitening is not a substitute for a dental cleaning. If there is visible tartar on the exterior of teeth, a dental cleaning will be recommended. Results are always better on clean teeth!
