How long does whitening last?

It varies from person to person and depends heavily on diet and habits such as smoking, coffee and tea. Your dentist will discuss what to expect in your case.

Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?

Whitening only affects natural tooth structure. Existing crowns, veneers and fillings keep their original shade.

When assessed and supervised by a dental professional it is a well-established treatment. Some people experience temporary sensitivity.
