Questions you may have about teeth
whitening.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Whitening your teeth under the
supervision of your dentist, has been proven
safe in clinical studies over a period of
many years.
How does it work?
Your dentist will take impressions of your
teeth that will allow for custom trays to be
made for your teeth whitening procedure. The
Opalescence SP Plus gel is placed in these
these thincomfortable trays and fitted over
your teeth.
How long does it take?
Your dentist will go over what you can
expect from your individual situation.
Are there any side effects?
There are a small number of people that
could experience increased sensitivity to
hot or cold during the whitening process.
This is temporary and can be treated with
ibuprofen or another product your dentist
may have. The sensitivity would normally go
away within the first 48 hours after the
whitening process is completed.
How long will it last?
The duration of your results depends largely
on you. The results may be permanent.
Practice good oral hygiene and brush
normally, especially after consuming
staining foods and beverages and your
results could last for years. If you use
staining substances like coffee, tobacco and
red wine wine you may require periodic
touch-ups for one or two days every couple
of years.
