FAQs about Professional Teeth Whitening

There are a number of advantages to whitening a faded, stained, or discolored smile. In addition to the cosmetic aspects which naturally improve confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of pride in your smile, whiter teeth have been shown to make people look younger and more competent in professional settings. Whether you're looking for a new job, a date, or just want to spruce up your image without making drastic changes, investing in whiter teeth is a great place to start. Our dental team at Sullivan & Turner located in Somerdale, NJ, in Camden County offers professional teeth whitening and other general and cosmetic dentistry services for all of your oral health needs.

Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments in Camden County, NJ

Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening treatments:

Q: How long does a teeth whitening treatment last?

A: That depends. A professional treatment can potentially make your teeth whiter for approximately three years, but it varies from person to person depending on the same factors that stain your natural teeth such as diet, tobacco use, oral hygiene, and other individual factors. Practicing good oral hygiene and protecting your teeth from known staining agents is the best way to keep them looking whiter longer.

Q: Can I whiten my teeth if I have dental restorations like veneers or bonding?

A: Dental restorations won't change color with a whitening treatment, so if you already have or expect to get restorations in the future (veneers, bonding, or tooth colored fillings) our dentists will work with you to find the best solution.

Q: Is teeth whitening safe?

A: Mild side effects like tooth and gum sensitivity are possible with teeth whitening. A professional treatment applied by your dentist is the safest and most effective option for your teeth and gums.
