Frequently asked questions
How many shades whiter will my teeth get?
Results vary depending on your starting shade and the cause of discoloration. Most patients achieve four to eight shades of improvement with a single in-office session. Stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco respond particularly well. Our dentist can give you a realistic expectation during your consultation.
Is professional whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes, when performed by a dental professional. Our team applies the whitening gel precisely, protecting your gums with a barrier before treatment begins. Professional-grade products are formulated to whiten effectively without damaging enamel when used correctly and at appropriate concentrations.
How long do whitening results last?
In-office whitening results typically last one to three years depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, not smoking, and doing periodic touch-ups with take-home trays significantly extends the results.
Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening agents only affect natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, and composite restorations do not respond to whitening. If you have visible restorations and want a uniform result, whitening should be done first so new restorations can be matched to your whitened natural teeth.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Temporary sensitivity is common and usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity may experience slightly more discomfort. We can adjust the concentration of the whitening gel and apply desensitizing agents before or after treatment to minimize this.
Can I get whitening done on the same trip as other dental work?
Yes, and we recommend it. Whitening is one of the most common add-ons for patients visiting LS Dental for implants, veneers, or checkups. It is fast, affordable, and the results are immediate, making it easy to complete during your stay in Costa Rica.
