Question 1

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional teeth whitening at Twiss Dental is safe and effective. Our team uses ADA-approved products and personalized treatment protocols to ensure comfort and long-lasting results.

Question 2

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

Accepted Answer

Results can last from 6 months to 2 years depending on your oral habits, diet, and maintenance routine. Avoiding tobacco and staining foods can help prolong your whiter smile.

Question 3

Will my teeth become sensitive after whitening?

Accepted Answer

Temporary sensitivity is possible, but we offer desensitizing options and gentle-strength formulas to minimize discomfort during and after treatment.

Question 4

What is the difference between in-office and take-home whitening?

Accepted Answer

In-office whitening offers faster results in one visit, using high-concentration gel and light activation. Take-home whitening uses custom trays and gel to gradually whiten teeth over 1–2 weeks.

Question 5

How white can my teeth get with professional whitening?

Accepted Answer

Many patients see teeth brighten by 5–8 shades. Final results depend on your natural tooth color, type of staining, and the whitening method used.

Question 6

Can I whiten crowns, veneers, or fillings?

Accepted Answer

No, whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel. If you have restorations, we’ll discuss cosmetic options like replacement or bonding to match your new shade.

Question 7

Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Accepted Answer

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. We’ll evaluate your oral health and recommend the best whitening method for you during a consultation.

Question 8

How often can I get professional whitening?

Accepted Answer

Most patients whiten once or twice a year. Touch-ups may be done every 6 months if needed, especially with take-home trays. We guide you to avoid overuse.

Question 9

Can I eat or drink normally after whitening?

Accepted Answer

We recommend avoiding coffee, tea, wine, and dark-colored foods for 24–48 hours after whitening, as your enamel is temporarily more porous and can absorb stains more easily.
