Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about 16% Teeth Whitening Session.

Yes. The 16% formulation is intentionally low strength to minimize sensitivity. Our trained technicians assess your dental history, use protective measures, and recommend desensitizing gel if needed. Most clients experience minimal discomfort and good whitening results in one session.

Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, including consultation, protection, and application. The low-strength 16% gel requires shorter chair time while delivering gradual whitening. Plan for about an hour to include aftercare instructions and your take-home kit.

Most clients achieve a 3-6 shade improvement in one session with our 16% treatment, depending on initial tooth color and staining. Results vary; maintenance and lifestyle (coffee, smoking) influence long-term brightness. We will set realistic expectations during consultation.

Some clients may experience mild, temporary sensitivity after treatment, but the low-strength 16% formula reduces this risk. We offer a take-home aftercare kit and optional desensitizing gel for $15 to soothe nerves and speed recovery if needed.

Avoid staining foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine) for 48-72 hours, and follow the included aftercare instructions. Brush gently, use non-abrasive toothpaste, and consider touch-up treatments as recommended. Use desensitizing gel if sensitivity arises.

For most clients, sessions can be repeated safely every 4-6 months depending on staining and sensitivity. We will evaluate your enamel and history during consultation. If you need more frequent maintenance, we may recommend lower-intensity options or home care to protect enamel.
