Does teeth whitening hurt?

Sharp cold sensitivity during and for a day or two afterwards is the most common side effect, and it fades. We can pre-treat with a desensitising agent and use a sensitivity-formulated gel if you've had trouble before. Tell us upfront and we'll plan for it.

How long does the result last?

Usually one to two years, depending on how much coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco go past your teeth. Take-home trays for occasional touch-ups keep it stable for far longer. Avoiding staining foods for the first forty-eight hours matters more than anything else you do.

Will it whiten my crowns or fillings?

No. Whitening only changes natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, bonding and fillings stay exactly the shade they were made, which can leave them looking darker once the teeth around them lighten. If you have visible restorations, plan to replace them after whitening.

Is in-office whitening better than strips?

It's faster and more even, and the gel is much stronger because your gums are professionally isolated. Strips can work over several weeks for mild staining, at lower cost. If you have sensitivity, uneven staining or a deadline, the in-office version is the one to choose.

The short answer on in-office teeth whitening.

In-office teeth whitening is a professional-strength gel applied to your teeth with your gums protected, lifting the internal shade. It takes about ninety minutes in one visit and is used when you want a visible change quickly, before a wedding, a reunion or a photo.

The strength is the difference. What we use in the chair is far more concentrated than anything sold over the counter, and your gums are isolated so it can be. That combination is what produces a same-day change.

We check for decay and exposed roots first. Whitening over an untreated cavity or a cracked filling hurts, and it's avoidable by looking first.

Who needs in-office teeth whitening?

If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation. Renew Dental Loft sees patients from Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Roselle and Streamwood seven days a week.

In-Office Teeth Whitening questions, answered.

Most people see several shades of change in one session, though the exact number depends on your starting color and what caused the staining. Yellow-toned staining from food and drink responds best. Grey tones from tetracycline or trauma respond slowly and sometimes barely at all.
