Results & Expectations
What Whitening Can Do: It can lighten yellow and brown stains from coffee, tea, wine, and aging. Plus, this type can typically achieve 2-8 shades whiter with visible results in just 3-5 days
What Whitening Can’t Fix: Gray stains from tetracycline antibiotics, discoloration from trauma or certain medications, and existing crowns, veneers, or fillings (these materials don’t whiten like natural teeth).
Managing Sensitivity
Some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity during whitening, which is completely normal. To help minimize any discomfort, our whitening gel includes potassium nitrate and fluoride for built-in protection. We may also recommend starting with shorter treatment times and adjusting your plan as needed to ensure maximum comfort. If sensitivity does occur, it is usually temporary and often resolves within one to two days after treatment.
Most patients find the process very comfortable, especially with our lower-strength option.
How Long Will Results Last?
Your brighter smile will usually last between one and three years, depending on your daily habits. Drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, using tobacco, or eating dark berries may cause stains to return sooner. To keep your results looking their best, touch-up treatments are often recommended every six to twelve months. Practicing good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings, also helps maintain a whiter smile.

- CareCredit financing – 0% interest plans available

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients experience little to no discomfort. Any sensitivity is mild and temporary, lasting 1-2 days at most.
What if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening only works on natural teeth. Dr. Jacobs will explain how this affects your specific situation during your consultation.
When can I eat and drink normally?
You can eat immediately after treatment, but we recommend avoiding staining foods and drinks for the first 48 hours for best results.
Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 days, with full results visible after completing the treatment cycle.
Is professional whitening better than store-bought products?
Yes! Professional whitening is safer, more effective, and provides longer-lasting results than over-the-counter options.
