Teeth whitening has become one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures—and for good reason. Who doesn’t want a brighter smile? But before you jump into any treatment, here’s what you need to know:
-
Not all whitening products are created equal. Over-the-counter kits can help, but in-chair whitening at your dentist’s office delivers faster and longer-lasting results.
-
Sensitivity is normal. Some people experience mild tooth sensitivity after whitening, but it usually goes away within a few days.
-
It doesn’t work on all teeth. Whitening won’t affect crowns, fillings, or veneers—and may not work well on grayish or brown-toned teeth.
