Teeth Whitening Myths vs Facts

Myth: Whitening Damages Enamel

Many believe teeth whitening harms enamel, but professional treatments are safe. Dentists use approved products that protect your teeth while effectively removing stains.

Fact: Whitening Works on Natural Teeth Only

Whitening treatments are effective only on natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color, so discuss your options with us to achieve a uniform smile.

Myth: Whitening Results Last Forever

Whitening isn't permanent. Results can last from a few months to a year, depending on diet and oral hygiene. Regular touch-ups help maintain brightness.

Fact: Sensitivity is Temporary

Some people experience sensitivity after whitening, but it's usually temporary. Using toothpaste for sensitive teeth can help, and you can talk to us about other solutions if you experience sensitivity.

Myth: All Whitening Products Are the Same

Over-the-counter products vary in effectiveness. Professional treatments at North Aurora Smiles offer customized solutions for better results.
