Cosmetic Dental Whitening: What to Expect
Cosmetic dental whitening is one of the most effective ways to brighten your smile. OTC whitening products can’t match the stunning results of professional teeth whitening. If you live in or near Boca Raton, Florida, Dental Care of Boca Raton is your one-stop shop for dental whitening treatment. These teeth whitening FAQs compiled by Dr. David Kagan and our team can help you decide if this treatment is for you.
How does the teeth whitening process work?
Dr. Kagan and our team offer in-office and at-home whitening treatments to brighten your smile. Dr. Kagan will apply professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth for in-office treatments and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. The gel penetrates your enamel to lift food, drink, and tobacco stains from your teeth, rejuvenating your smile’s appearance in one dental visit. This process may be repeated twice or thrice to achieve your whitening goals. A special light activates some gels to achieve optimal whitening results in as little as one hour.Â
We also offer whitening kits containing peroxide-based whitening gel and custom whitening trays for its application. You’ll achieve the same beautiful results, but gradually, generally within two weeks. Dr. Kagan and our team will monitor your progress and offer tips to optimize your treatment.Â
Will teeth whitening harm my teeth?
No, whitening gels will not erode your tooth enamel or harm your teeth. Dental whitening is safe and effective, as it’s done under the supervision of your dentist. We use quality whitening gels and safe techniques to brighten your smile safely. We also take precautions to protect your gums during your treatment. Dr. Kagan will schedule an oral exam before your whitening procedure to ensure your teeth are healthy enough for this cosmetic treatment.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
If you take good care of your teeth, the results of dental whitening can last one to two years. You’ll get more from your whitening treatment if you diligently brush and floss daily, have routine dental cleanings, stop smoking, and limit your consumption of stain-causing foods and drinks.Â

Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
You may experience mild sensitivity during the bleaching process or directly afterward when your teeth are exposed to hot or cold foods and drinks, but this is temporary and will subside within a few days of your treatment.
Who’s a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Most adults with stained teeth can benefit from cosmetic dental whitening. If you’re concerned about yellow or discolored teeth, we encourage you to try teeth whitening! The main requisite for dental whitening is healthy gums and teeth. As some stains can’t be bleached, Dr. Kagan and our team will evaluate your teeth beforehand to see if you’re a good candidate for this treatment.
