How long do teeth whitening results last?

With proper care, limiting coffee, red wine, and tobacco, and keeping up with regular cleanings, professional whitening results typically last up to two years. Occasional touch-up treatments can extend your results even longer.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Yes. When performed by a licensed dentist using medical-grade bleaching agents, professional whitening is one of the safest cosmetic dental treatments available. Dr. Tagg evaluates your enamel, gums, and any existing dental work before recommending a whitening plan.

Will teeth whitening hurt or cause sensitivity?

Some patients notice mild, temporary tooth sensitivity for a day or two after treatment. It typically resolves on its own, and we can recommend a desensitizing toothpaste or adjust your treatment strength if you’re prone to sensitive teeth.

Who isn’t a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Whitening isn’t recommended during pregnancy or nursing, and it won’t change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding, only natural enamel. Patients with dark intrinsic staining or significant gum recession may get a better, longer-lasting result from porcelain veneers; ask us about that option if it sounds like you.

Does dental insurance cover teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic treatment and typically isn’t covered by dental insurance. We offer an in-house savings plan and financing options to make treatment more affordable — ask our team for details at your consultation.

How Professional Teeth Whitening Works

Professional teeth whitening uses medical-grade bleaching agents (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) at concentrations well above what’s available over the counter. During your visit, Dr. Tagg or a member of our hygiene team isolates and protects your gums, applies the whitening agent, and, for in-office treatments, activates it with a specialized light to speed up the process. The agent penetrates the enamel to break apart stain molecules, brightening your natural tooth color from the inside out rather than just polishing the surface.

At its core, professional teeth whitening addresses two types of stains:

Extrinsic (surface-level, from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco)
Intrinsic (deeper, from aging, medications, or trauma)

Your Whitening Options at Jupiter Dentistry

Contact Jupiter Dentistry today to explore your teeth whitening options. We'll recommend the best approach for your smile.

In-Office Laser Whitening

A light- or laser-activated treatment (such as Zoom) that can brighten teeth up to eight shades in about 45 minutes; our most popular option for patients who want dramatic results before an event.
In-Office Whitening Without a Light

A chemically activated in-office gel (such as Opalescence Boost) that skips the light entirely, making it a good fit for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.
Take-Home Custom Trays

Custom-fitted trays made from impressions of your teeth, filled with professional-strength gel and worn on your own schedule for a more gradual result you control at home.

Teeth Whitening Treatment Process

When you visit our Jupiter dental office for teeth whitening treatments, you can expect the following to happen during the whitening process:

Initial Consultation: You’ll meet with our dentists to go over your oral health and see if tooth whitening is best for you.
Teeth Cleaning: Our dental professionals will clean your teeth.
Protection: We’ll place a barrier (often a rubber dam or protective gel) around the gums to shield them.
Whitening Agent Application: A high-concentration peroxide gel is then applied to the teeth. This whitening gel is much stronger than the ones available in over-the-counter whitening products, such as teeth whitening strips.
Activation: Some whitening systems use a special light or laser to activate the peroxide gel and enhance its bleaching effect.
Rinse: After the desired shade is achieved, or once the maximum time has been reached, our dentist will rinse off the gel.

How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?

On average, patients can expect to spend around $500 to $1,000 on professional teeth whitening services. Various factors will affect the cost of teeth whitening treatments, including:

Geographic location
Type of treatment
Dentist’s experience
The duration and number of sessions needed
Additional procedures

In most cases, dental insurance won’t cover the costs of teeth whitening treatments as it’s considered an elective procedure. We always recommend reaching out to your insurance provider to learn more about your plan.
