Question 1

Does professional teeth whitening give the same results as over-the-counter options?

Accepted Answer

Professional teeth whitening is designed to deliver more noticeable, customized results than
many over-the-counter products. While store-bought whitening options may gradually improve
the appearance of stains, professional treatments are tailored to your teeth and monitored by a
dental professional for safety and comfort

Before beginning any whitening treatment, the team at Pastel Dental performs a thorough exam
to evaluate your oral health and determine the most appropriate option for your smile. We offer
both in-office teeth whitening and customized take-home whitening trays, depending on your
goals, preferences, and lifestyle

With professional guidance and personalized treatment, patients can achieve a brighter, more
natural-looking smile safely and effectively.

Question 2

Am I a candidate for teeth whitening?

Accepted Answer

Over time, teeth can become discolored due to a variety of factors, including age, foods and
beverages, smoking, and natural variations in tooth shade.

If your teeth are not as bright as you would like, the team at Pastel Dental can evaluate your
smile and determine whether professional teeth whitening is the right option for you during your
consultation.

Question 3

Does teeth whitening hurt?

Accepted Answer

Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after teeth whitening treatment, while
others experience little to no discomfort. Sensitivity can vary depending on your teeth and the
type of whitening treatment used.

If sensitivity occurs, it is usually mild and temporary. To help minimize discomfort, your dentist
may recommend avoiding very hot or cold foods and beverages for a short period after
treatment and using lukewarm water when brushing your teeth.

The team at Pastel Dental carefully evaluates your oral health before treatment to help ensure a
safe and comfortable whitening experience.

Question 4

How does professional teeth whitening work?

Accepted Answer

Before your treatment begins, your teeth are examined and professionally cleaned to ensure
your oral health is ready for whitening. If any dental concerns are identified, your dentist may
recommend addressing them before treatment.

At Pastel Dental, we use Zoom!® teeth whitening technology to safely and effectively brighten
your smile. During the procedure, a professional whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth
while your gums and surrounding tissues are protected. A specialized light is then used to
activate the whitening process and enhance results.

Professional teeth whitening is designed to noticeably brighten your teeth in a comfortable,
supervised setting.
