If used improperly or too frequently any tooth whitening treatment can erode or damage the enamel on your teeth. More common is the harm to the gums if whitening gel contacts the surface of the gums. As long as the whitening treatments are used sparingly and correctly they can be safe.

It is recommended to get your teeth examined first by a dentist before undergoing any whitening method to ensure you are a good candidate. Concerns may include gum recession, cavities, cracks in the enamel, worn teeth, which can all lead to increased sensitivity. In-office whitening systems can better isolate tooth surfaces, avoiding the gums and sensitive teeth areas causing less irritation.

Teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure. The normal range is between 6 months and 2 years, depending on your personal habits. With proper maintenance, your teeth will always be lighter once you have whitened them. Smoking, drinking tea, coffee, or red wine will re-stain your teeth faster therefore requiring more frequent touch ups. In most cases, the whitening procedure is very effective and the patient is pleased with the results. For the fastest and longest lasting results, we recommend a combination of in-office and home whitening. Enroll in our Whitening for Life Program.

Help your teeth remain white by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and seeing your dentist at DLE for regular professional cleanings. Remember cavities, tartar and calculus will make your teeth stain faster and darker.

Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and the gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not usually happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is recommended when they do not properly erupt within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. In these situations, the wisdom teeth are described as “impacted”.
