How long does teeth whitening last?

With proper care, professional teeth whitening can last up to 2 years. Avoiding smoking, limiting dark-colored drinks, and maintaining good oral hygiene can help results last longer.

What are the side effects?

Some people may experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after whitening. These side effects usually fade within a few days.

Is professional teeth whitening worth it?

Yes. Professional whitening is safer, faster, and more effective than most store-bought options like whitening strips, and it is customized to your teeth and sensitivity level.

Why are my teeth still yellow after brushing?

Brushing removes plaque but not deep stains — only professional cleaning can do that.

Is professional whitening better than strips?

Yes, it's stronger, faster, and gives more even results.

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

Every 6 months is the standard recommendation.

Can yellow teeth become white again?

Absolutely, with the right professional treatment.

Why do my teeth look more yellow after whitening?

Dehydration after treatment makes them appear that way temporarily — it fades in a day or two.
