Frequently Asked Questions
How often can I safely whiten my teeth?
Dr. Bacon can safely repeat professional whitening every 6-12 months if you want touch-ups, though many patients find their results last longer than they expected with good maintenance habits.
What makes professional whitening worth the extra cost?
Professional treatments use much stronger whitening agents than store products, plus Dr. Bacon's expertise ensures better results with less sensitivity. You get dramatic improvement in one visit instead of weeks of marginal results with drugstore products.
Does insurance cover teeth whitening?
Since whitening is considered cosmetic, most insurance plans don't cover it. We offer flexible payment options and financing to make professional whitening affordable for your budget.
How long does the actual appointment take?
In-office whitening typically takes about 60-90 minutes from start to finish. You can relax, catch up on emails, or just take a break while the whitening gel does its work.
Is professional whitening really safe?
Absolutely—when done under proper dental supervision like Dr. Bacon provides, professional whitening is both safe and effective. He carefully monitors the entire process to protect your teeth and gums while maximizing your results.
Can everyone's teeth be whitened?
Most natural teeth respond well to professional whitening, but some types of stains (like those from certain medications) may need alternative treatments like veneers. Dr. Bacon will let you know what to realistically expect during your consultation.
When can I drink coffee again after treatment?
Dr. Bacon recommends waiting 24-48 hours before having coffee, red wine, or other staining foods and beverages. Your teeth are more porous right after whitening, so they can pick up stains more easily during this time.
How much brighter will my teeth get?
Most patients see their teeth brighten by several shades in just one appointment. Your exact results depend on your starting tooth color and the type of staining, but the improvement is typically quite dramatic and noticeable.
Will my teeth hurt during or after treatment?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, but Dr. Bacon's professional approach and quality materials significantly reduce discomfort compared to over-the-counter products. Any sensitivity usually fades within a day or two.
How long will my whiter teeth actually last?
Professional whitening results typically last 6-12 months with good maintenance habits. Dr. Bacon will give you specific care instructions to help you get the most time out of your investment and keep your smile looking bright.
