Frequently Asked Questions

Can teeth whitening damage my enamel?

Dr. Jackson’s Professional teeth whitening treatments are safe and specifically designed to protect enamel. Unlike over-the-counter products, which can be harsh on teeth, professional whitening solutions are carefully formulated to be effective without causing damage. Dr. Jackson ensures the right approach for your unique dental needs. If you have concerns about enamel wear, he will assess your teeth and recommend the most suitable method, ensuring both safety and optimal results for your smile.

Will whitening work on all types of tooth discoloration?

Professional teeth whitening treatments work best on extrinsic stains caused by the foods and drinks you enjoy or tobacco use. Comparatively, whitening treatments may not work well on intrinsic stains caused by trauma, medication, or aging. Dr. Jackson will evaluate your unique situation to determine the best whitening approach. If your stains are more resistant, he may recommend alternative solutions, such as veneers or bonding, to achieve a uniform, bright smile, offering more comprehensive options for a lasting result.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?

Whitening treatments will not affect dental restorations like crowns, fillings, or veneers, as these materials don’t respond to bleaching agents. If you plan to whiten your teeth, Dr. Jackson may suggest doing so before getting any new restorations to ensure your crown or filling matches your new tooth shade. This prevents a mismatch between your natural teeth and dental work, creating a harmonious, bright smile that feels fresh and natural.

How long will my whitening results last?

The longevity of teeth whitening results depends largely on your lifestyle. While professional whitening can last anywhere from six months to two years, consuming staining substances like coffee, wine, or tobacco may shorten this time. Dr. Jackson provides personalized advice to extend your results, including at-home touch-up kits or additional treatments. Maintaining good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods will help keep your smile bright for longer, ensuring the best outcome from your whitening treatment.

Is there a way to prevent sensitivity during whitening?

Sensitivity during teeth whitening can occur, but Dr. Jackson uses professional-grade whitening products designed to minimize discomfort. If you experience sensitivity, he may offer solutions such as desensitizing treatments before or after your procedure. These treatments can help reduce pain and make the process more enjoyable. If you have sensitive teeth, discuss it with Dr. Jackson, as he will tailor the whitening process to suit your needs and ensure a comfortable experience.

Are there foods or drinks I should avoid after whitening?

After whitening, it’s best to avoid staining foods and drinks for the first 48 hours, as your teeth will be more porous. Items like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can quickly cause discoloration. Dr. Jackson will provide you with a list of foods to avoid and recommend a diet that supports maintaining your bright smile. Following these simple guidelines can help your whitening results last longer and keep your teeth shining.
