Q. How do I know if I need whitening?
A. One way of assessing the whiteness of your teeth is to see how closely they match the whites of your eyes — this would be the most natural colour for you. Once started on whitening treatment, patients are often advised to gauge their progress by the difference in hue between their teeth and their eyes.

Q. My teeth have become yellow as I got older. Will whitening work?
A. The discoloration of your teeth from aging is a combination of factors including enamel wearing away, staining over the years and the formation of dentine inside the tooth. Patients whose teeth have become yellowed with age are excellent candidates for the whitening process, often providing superb results.

Q. I took tetracycline for ear infections when I was a child, and my teeth are dark and gray. Will whitening work for me?
A. The toughest stain to whiten is tetracycline. The treatment takes much longer to complete, over months rather than weeks, but with daily treatments improved results can be achieved. Teeth effected in this way will usually become a lighter shade rather than full whiteness.

Q. I used to be a smoker. Can I erase the stains from nicotine?
A. Nicotine is a stubborn stain, but will generally bleach out in 1-3 months of treatment. From a health standpoint, it is a great plan to stop smoking, and it keeps your teeth from re-staining.
