Am I a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening if I have Sensitive Teeth?

Yes, you can still achieve a brighter smile even if you have sensitive teeth. We prioritize your comfort and safety by utilizing professional-grade desensitizing agents and monitoring the process closely to manage sensitivity effectively.

We offer two main professional options that are better suited for sensitive teeth than over-the-counter products:

  • In-Office Teeth Whitening: This treatment is performed under the direct supervision of our team, allowing us to monitor your comfort and apply professional desensitizing agents during the session.
  • Custom Take-Home Kits: Many patients with sensitivity find our custom trays better tolerated because you have control over the wear time (typically 30 to 90 minutes daily). These kits include professional-grade gel and trays custom-fitted to your teeth to minimize gum irritation.

Our team is here for you and your dental needs, and we will assess your specific level of sensitivity during a consultation to determine the best approach for you. We often recommend a professional cleaning before whitening to ensure even results and optimal oral health. Please note that results may vary based on individual patient conditions; we recommend you consult a licensed dental professional for personalized advice.

We invite you to Join Our Dental Family and take advantage of our New Patient Special to begin your journey toward a more confident smile.
