Q & A: Teeth Whitening

How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening treatment can last anywhere from six months to a year. It is important that patients follow their aftercare instruction to promote an effective treatment.

Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening?

During your consultation, Drs. Monroe will examine your teeth to determine if you are an ideal candidate for teeth whitening. Teeth whitening should only be performed on healthy teeth. If you have any underlying dental problems, Drs. Monroe will address them during your consultation.

How do I maintain my teeth whitening treatment?

Patients should avoid foods and beverages that can stain their teeth. It is also important that you follow a healthy oral hygiene routine to keep your teeth clean. Drs. Monroe can also provide take-home teeth whitening treatments for touch ups if you would like to maintain your teeth whitening treatments in the comfort of your own home.

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Teeth whitening does not hurt. We make sure to provide a comfortable, safe environment for patients to receive their teeth whitening treatment. We take the proper precautions to limit tooth sensitivity and discomfort during treatment.

We offer Zoom! In-Office Teeth Whitening and take-home teeth whitening. In office teeth whitening takes about an hour to complete in our Pinehurst dental office. During your appointment, Drs.
