Questions about Teeth Whitening

How can I have whiter teeth?

Aesthetic Dental Studio offers in-office professional tooth whitening for the fastest whitening results currently available. At-home tooth whitening kits are available and customized to your needs for cost-effective and convenient home maintenance. Individuals suffering from more severe staining may consider porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns or dental bonding.

How long will the effects of professional tooth whitening last?

It is difficult to say how long your tooth whitening will last, because each individual enjoys different results. Tooth whitening can last longer by avoiding coffee, tea, wine and other staining substances. Excellent oral care at home will also prolong your bright smile. Dr. Chee can explain how best to care for your new white teeth and keep them looking their best.

Can tooth whitening be repeated to maintain the results?

Yes, you can repeat the tooth whitening procedure to maintain a beautiful, white smile. Many patients schedule six month “touch ups” to keep their teeth looking white and bright. Too much tooth whitening can be detrimental, so be sure to speak with Dr. Chee to find out what the best schedule is for you.

How much whiter can my teeth get with professional tooth whitening?

Patients can generally expect professional whitening to lighten and brighten teeth six to nine shades whiter, depending on the current amount of discoloration. Our professional dental team will work with you to discuss your achievable goals. Teeth that can not be adequately whitened due to tetracycline or fluoride stains may require dental bonding, porcelain veneers or other dental techniques to achieve a bright white smile.

How should I care for my whitened teeth?

Regular oral hygiene at home and a maintenance schedule of in-office cleanings about every 6 months are you best defense in maintaining your new smile. Be sure to avoid or decrease exposure to coffee, tea or red wine. Stop smoking, and always brush right after eating or drinking. Finally, avoid abrasive toothpastes that can wear down the teeth’s protective enamel.
