Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?

A consultation determines if teeth whitening is right for you. Gum disease, cavities, and severe sensitivity may need treatment first. Crowns and bonding will not whiten. Once these issues are addressed, most patients can move forward with treatment.

Hear From Our Patients

Robert

Gentle Dental Brighton

I can't say enough good things about how I was treated at Gentle Dental Brighton over the last few years but more specifically recently when I had an infected root. Dr. Meyer was exceptional not just in her skills as a dentist, but how compassionate she was to the amount of pain I was in. She helped me from start to finish and even checked on me after the root canal. Not just a great dentist but a great person.

Michel

Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain

Dr. Mancini and his staff got me in for an appointment within an hour of my call and took care of a loose, temporary cap. To my surprise they were able to “install” my permanent crown even though the appointment for that procedure was scheduled a week later. Perfect fit! Made my day. Thank you Gentle Dental Jamaica Plain!

Denise

Gentle Dental Nashua

Best dental care around! Immaculate office. Staff is exceptional and truly caring. Dr. Anthony is the Best! He understands my anxiety. I am telling everyone to request an appointment at Gentle Dental Nashua!

Tom

Gentle Dental Wakefield

Just had my last implant visit and can now smile again! The whole process went smoothly. Hats off to Dr. Amin, Dr. Colon and Sheela. All three, along with the rest of the staff, were very professional and pleasant to work with. I have been a patient at this office for 10+ years and would recommend Gentle Dental Wakefield to anyone for their next dentist appointment!

Carolyn

Gentle Dental Belmont

This is an excellent dental practice with flexible scheduling and friendly staff. Hygienists and dentists are very knowledgeable and skilled. Would also recommend their periodontist. Prices are quite reasonable as well. The Saturday hours are a huge plus at this dentist in Belmont.

Laura

Gentle Dental Cambridge

I would definitely recommend my experience at Gentle Dental Cambridge in Porter Square. A truly wonderful team of talented people! And they are paired with the most up-to-date technology. My experience was terrific! I needed a root canal and crowns in addition to a cavity filling. I was in safe hands! From start to finish, I was treated well and the procedures were completed in a timely manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening can last from 6 months to 3 years. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can impact results. Brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings keep teeth white longer.

Does insurance cover teeth whitening service?

Most insurance plans do not cover cosmetic teeth whitening services. Click here to check your coverage online, or call us, and we can discuss your options, such as CareCredit^Ⓡ, the Essential Dental Plan, and other payment options, before your appointment.

How much does teeth whitening cost?

Teeth whitening costs usually range from $300 to $800, depending on the treatment plan and number of sessions. We review pricing before treatment so you know what to expect.

Can you whiten teeth while doing Invisalign^®?

Sometimes, yes. Your dentist will check your teeth, attachments, and treatment stage before recommending whitening during Invisalign^®. In some cases, it makes more sense to wait until Invisalign^® treatment is complete. Our team will help determine the best situation for you.

How long does teeth whitening take?

Treatment time depends on the whitening method recommended for you. Some patients see results after one visit. Others use custom trays for 2 to 3 weeks.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Teeth whitening can cause temporary sensitivity. It usually subsides within a few days. Your dentist can adjust the treatment plan and recommend products that help reduce discomfort.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?

Teeth whitening changes the color of natural tooth enamel, but does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding. Your dentist will review shade matching before treatment.

Is teeth whitening safe for teens?

Teeth whitening may be an option for teens once all permanent teeth are in and the enamel is fully developed. A dental exam is the best way to decide if treatment is appropriate.

Can teeth whitening help with uneven tooth color?

Teeth whitening can help with mild color differences across natural teeth. Deeper discoloration may not respond the same way and may need bonding or veneers.

Does teeth whitening work on all types of stains?

Teeth whitening works best on surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Some deep stains linked to trauma or certain medications may need a different cosmetic treatment.

How do I maintain my teeth whitening results?

Limit coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, and rinse with water after darker foods or drinks. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with cleanings to help maintain teeth whitening results.

How quickly will I see results after teeth whitening?

Some patients see a change after one appointment. Others notice results over 2 to 3 weeks. Results depend on the whitening plan and the type of staining being treated.

How often should you whiten teeth?

Many patients get our teeth cleaning services every 6 to 12 months, depending on stain buildup, diet, and sensitivity. Our dentists can recommend the right schedule for you.

What drinks should you avoid while whitening teeth?

Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, dark soda, and dark juices while whitening and for the first 48 hours after treatment. Teeth can pick up stains more easily during that time.

What not to eat after teeth whitening?

Avoid dark berries, tomato sauce, soy sauce, curry, and other highly pigmented foods for the first 48 hours after teeth whitening. Lighter-colored foods are a better choice right after treatment.
