Am I a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening if I have Sensitive Teeth?

Yes, you can absolutely be a candidate for professional teeth whitening even if you have sensitive teeth. Unlike over-the-counter products, which can often lead to gum irritation or increased sensitivity due to ill-fitting trays, our supervised treatments are specifically designed to prioritize your comfort.

When you choose professional Teeth Whitening with us, we offer several safeguards to manage sensitivity effectively:

  • Protective Gum Barriers: During in-office treatments, we apply a barrier to protect your delicate gum tissue from the whitening agent.
  • Desensitizing Agents: We utilize professional-grade desensitizers during the process to minimize any potential tenderness.
  • Custom-Fitted Trays: For our take-home options, we provide trays customized to your unique smile. This ensures the whitening gel stays on your teeth and off your gums, which is a major factor in preventing irritation.
  • Adjustable Treatment Plans: Because our treatments are dentist-supervised, we can adjust the frequency of your whitening or the concentration of the gel to suit your specific sensitivity levels.

If you do experience mild sensitivity after your session, we recommend using a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste for about 48 hours. Our Team is here for you and your dental needs, and we invite you to Schedule your appointment or FREE consultation today! to discuss a personalized whitening plan that works for you.
