Frequently
Asked Questions
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at removing stains and discoloration from teeth, significantly brightening the shade of your natural teeth. At Kingston Bay Dentistry, we offer the Zoom teeth whitening system for effective, fast, and safe results.
How does Zoom teeth whitening work?
Zoom teeth whitening uses a powerful whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide. The gel is applied to the teeth, and a specialized light activates the gel, breaking down stains and discolorations on the tooth surface. This process can make your teeth several shades whiter in just one office visit.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed by a professional dental team, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. At Kingston Bay Dentistry, our skilled staff ensures that your oral health is assessed before treatment to minimize any risks and to ensure the best possible outcome.
Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after their whitening treatment. We use advanced products and techniques to minimize sensitivity, ensuring a comfortable experience. Additionally, we can provide you with aftercare tips to help manage any sensitivity that may occur.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of teeth whitening results can vary based on individual habits and oral hygiene. With proper care, including avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages and maintaining good oral hygiene, your whitening results can last for several months to a few years. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your bright smile.
Can teeth whitening damage my enamel?
No, professional teeth whitening does not damage tooth enamel. The whitening agents used in professional treatments are designed to be safe and effective, focusing on removing stains without harming the tooth's surface.
Who is a candidate for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, it's not recommended for children under 16, pregnant or lactating women, or individuals with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, or exposed roots. A consultation at Kingston Bay Dentistry can determine if teeth whitening is right for you.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings, crowns, or veneers?
Teeth whitening treatments do not affect the color of fillings, crowns, or veneers. If you have these restorations in your mouth, our team can advise you on the best cosmetic options to ensure a uniform smile appearance.
How can I maintain my whitening results?
To maintain your whitening results, avoid stain-causing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Practicing good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting Kingston Bay Dentistry for regular checkups and cleanings will also help preserve your brighter smile.
How do I schedule a teeth whitening appointment?
