Actually, one of the main reasons most people love our system is that pain and sensitivity is pretty much non-existent. However, if you already have sensitive teeth, you probably will experience some sensitivity but we have never had anyone complain about major sensitivity issues. One of the preventative measures we take at the office is having you apply a vitamin e oil to your gums before the treatment. This protects the gums from sensitivity and irritation during the treatment.

Some people may feel a little tingling sensation, white gum line (also known as blanching), or very little sensitivity. All of these side effects are normal and hold no real danger. Usually this will only last for a couple of hours and will not exceed 24 hours.

It really depends on each patient individually, if they continue any bad habits, such as drinking red wine every night, smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, etc. and don’t maintain their teeth properly then results may not last that long. If they care for their newly whitened teeth, the results should last a year or two. It’s important to understand that whitening is a progressive treatment, which means, the more treatments you do, the greater impact (results). Typically, we recommend pursuing another treatment in about six months or so. Most people come in about once or twice per year. Also, with our treatment we include our maintenance kit that you’ll use once or twice a month to help maintain your newly whitened teeth and that ultimately will make your results last longer.

Same day appointments sometimes are available depending if there are reschedules. Nevertheless, getting an appointment within the week will be available.
