Whitening my teeth at the dentist?

Linda Sungmin Wang asked:


I want to whiten my teeth at the dentist but there are a couple of concerns I’m worried about:

1. What are the procedures they will be doing

2. Will it be painful?

3. Should I clean my teeth before I do it?

4. Will I feel any sensitivity afterwards?

5. How much would it cost?

6. How long will it take?

7. How long would your white teeth last?

8. What should I do afterwards to keep it white?
But the main thing I’m wondering is will it hurt haha. I have low tolerance for pain, so if it’s very painful…I can’t handle it ):

If you’ve done this before, can you tell me what happened. Is it something I should be scared about? O: And are the results good?

    yes clean your teeth before
    only injection is painful
    dont worry to much its not that bad
    costing depends on your age… if your young its free… and if older its expensive
    it will last as long as you clean your teeth regulaly twice a day
    results are good depending on how much your tooth have been stained

    but trust you’re going to feel much more better after and it doesn’t hurt much

    staff are nice!

    Hi I just had it done last week. The method is called Zoom. It cost me $300 but it was on special.

    They gave me 2 Advil’s before. The procedure took about 2 hours. It was not painful but uncomfortable. They put a mouth peace inside to keep my mouth open and then they put some type of paste on my teeth. Then they had a bright light pointing to my teeth. I was hurting a little for the rest of the day but Advil’s took care of it.
    I did brush my teeth before but I’m not sure if this is a requirement.
    I was sensitive for the rest of the day for cold. Even cold air bothered some of my teeth.
    I don’t know how long my white teeth last, I’ll be following with bleach trays afterwards.
    You should know that you need to avoid any colored food for 48-72 hours and coffee, tea, red wine etc.. should be avoided for 7-10 days to protect your teeth from staining.
