In what order do the whitening steps usually happen?+
Typically an examination comes first, then any necessary dental care, then whitening by the chosen method, followed by ongoing upkeep and occasional touch-ups if appropriate.
Can I know the number of whitening visits before I start?+
That depends on your assessment and the method chosen. Ask the clinic once your plan is clear, since in-office and tray whitening involve different visits.
What if the examination finds something that needs treatment?+
Health care is usually handled first. Whitening can then be planned once your teeth and gums are ready for an elective treatment.
Where does whitening fit if I also want veneers?+
Often it comes first. Natural teeth can be whitened, the colour given time to settle, and then restorative materials matched to the new shade.
How do I know when it is time for a touch-up?+
Comparing your teeth with the shade recorded after whitening can help. If colour has drifted back, ask whether a supervised touch-up is suitable.
