Everyone wants it: a brighter, whiter, more winning smile. Tooth whitening can help you get it. Is going white just right for you? Following are seven simple answers to help enlighten you about our Chicago tooth whitening services.

1. Is tooth whitening right for all teeth? Ask us to evaluate you and your teeth before whitening. Yellowish, hued teeth respond well to bleach, but brownish-colored and grayish-hued teeth do not. Whitening does not whiten caps, veneers or bonded teeth. Finally, if you’re nursing or pregnant, we do not recommend brightening.

2. Can brightening be done in your Chicago and Skokie offices? If you prefer, chairside power bleaching can be done in one hour at our Chicago and Skokie offices. We’ll apply a protective gel or rubber shield for your gums, apply bleaching agent to your teeth and use a special light to enhance the action of the bleaching agent. One session is generally enough to significantly whiten your teeth; some patients may require an additional session.

3. Is bleaching safe? Yes. Be assured that brightening will not soften enamel or existing fillings. The primary ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, used safely in brightening procedures for over 100 years.

4. How does brightening work at home? Take-home brightening is available to be done anywhere and anytime. We’ll give you a custom-made bleaching tray filled with a mild bleaching agent. Just wear the tray _ to 2 hours per day for two to four weeks for great results.

5. How much whiter will my teeth look? Most people see a significant change in the whiteness of their smiles; but results will vary by individual.

6. Is bleaching painful in any way? The majority of patients experience no pain or sensitivity during the process or after.

7. How do I keep my teeth white after the bleaching? To maintain your new bright smile, brush your teeth twice daily or after each meal and floss once a day, visit us regularly for cleanings and check-ups and do a touch-up bleach at home. With regular professional care and use of after-care products, you can maintain your new whiteness for many years.
