Will I Experience Sensitivity ?

If you have a long history of tooth sensitivity but want to have your teeth whitened, there are a couple of tips that may help. Normally, even patients with very sensitive teeth do not experience any tooth sensitivity during or after the treatment with this treatment.  If you are very concerned about the possibility of any sensitivity following your treatment we suggest that you brush your teeth with Sensodyne Toothpaste for a small period of time before undergoing the teeth whitening treatment.

Although uncommon, some people can experience some tooth sensitivity during the first 24 - 48 hours after the whitening treatment. People with existing sensitivity, recently cracked teeth, microcracks, open cavities, leaking fillings, or other dental conditions that cause sensitivity may find that these conditions increase or prolong tooth sensitivity after the treatment. If you experience tooth sensitivity after the treatment, you can use SensodyneTM toothpaste to ease the discomfort. Brush your teeth with this toothpaste until tooth sensitivity goes away.

How long will the treatment take?

We recommend a 1 hour treatment in total on your visit which encompasses 3 x 20 min sessions which run consecutively to get the maximum results.  You will be with us at the clinic for about an hour and a half in total.  

What Can I Expect After The Treatment ? 

After the treatment, it is natural for teeth color to regress somewhat over time.  This is normal and should be very gradual, but it can be accelerated by exposing the teeth to various staining agents, such as coffee, tea, tobacco, red wine, colas, citrus drinks and fruits, etc. Do not eat or drink anything except water for the first hour after the treatment because the gel opens the pores of the enamel and makes the teeth very vulnerable to staining agents. If you purchased a touch-up pen, be aware that the pores of your enamel will remain open for as long as you use it so you should refrain from staining agents till you stop using the pen. You can resume your normal habits 24 hours after you conclude the touch-up pen treatment. Also, be aware that drinks and food are not the only things that can stain our teeth when the pores are open; lipstick, for example, can staintoo. Do NOT apply lipstick soon after whitening your teeth.
