How Much Is Teeth Whitening At Dentist With Insurance?
On average, in office teeth whitening costs between $300 and $800 per session and, most insurance plans don’t cover it. The good news is that some insurance plans may offer discounts. If you have insurance, it's best to check with your provider to understand your benefits and potential out-of-pocket costs.
Can Whitening Damage My Enamel?
No, professional whitening done correctly by a dentist is safe and does not damage tooth enamel. Our dentists use high-quality whitening agents and protective measures to ensure that your teeth remain healthy while achieving a brighter smile.
What Is The Most Effective Teeth Whitening Method?
The best whitening method depends on your needs and sensitivity. In office treatments such as laser whitening or Zoom whitening provide fast, dramatic results in a single visit. Take-home whitening kits offer a gradual whitening process that is slower than other options, but more convenient. If you want immediate, professional-grade whitening with long-lasting results, an in-office treatment is the best choice. Contact us to schedule your professional teeth whitening today!
How Long Does Teeth Whitening From A Dentist Last?
Professional teeth whitening can last from six months to three years, depending on your lifestyle and maintenance. Avoiding staining foods, drinking with a straw, and practicing good oral hygiene will help extend the results. We recommend touch-up treatments to maintain a brighter smile over time.
How Many Years Does Zoom Whitening Last?
Zoom whitening results typically last between one to three years, depending on your diet, oral habits, and maintenance. Regular dental cleanings and occasional at-home touch-ups can help extend the effects, keeping your teeth bright and healthy for longer.
Can Yellow Teeth Be White Again?
Yes, yellow teeth can be white again with Professional teeth whitening! In-office treatments effectively remove stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and aging. Mild to moderate discoloration responds well to whitening, but deep stains (such as those from tetracycline or fluorosis) may require multiple sessions or alternative cosmetic treatments like veneers for a fully brightened smile.
Is It Worth Getting Your Teeth Whitened At The Dentist?
Absolutely! Professional whitening provides faster, safer, and more effective results than over-the-counter products. Dentists use high-quality whitening agents that lighten teeth several shades in just one session, while also ensuring your gums and enamel remain protected. If you want noticeable, long-lasting whitening without the risks of DIY methods, professional treatment is the best option.
Do I Need A Teeth Cleaning Before Whitening?
Yes! A professional cleaning before whitening removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains, allowing the whitening gel to work more evenly. Whitening over unclean teeth can lead to uneven results, so it's best to have a fresh, clean surface for the treatment.
Can I Have The Whitening Treatment If I Have Jewelry Attached To My Teeth Or In My Mouth (Cheek Rings, Lip Rings, Tongue Rings)?
Yes, but we recommend you to remove any piercings before treatment. Metal jewelry can sometimes interfere with the whitening process and might cause some discomfort when it comes into contact with the whitening agents. If you have dental gemstones or bonded jewelry, please let us know prior to treatment so that we can take the necessary measurements.
