Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening, especially if stains are caused by foods, drinks, or smoking. Some discoloration, such as from certain medications or past trauma, may respond better to other cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding. During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth, review your dental history, and talk through your goals so we can recommend the safest, most effective option.

Teeth Whitening: Frequently Asked Questions
- Is professional teeth whitening safe?
- Yes. When supervised by a dentist, professional whitening is considered very safe. We protect your gums and soft tissues, choose the right strength of whitening gel, and monitor your progress to minimize sensitivity and keep your enamel healthy.
- How is professional whitening different from store-bought products?
- Over-the-counter strips and pastes use weaker ingredients and one-size-fits-all trays, which can lead to uneven results and irritation. At Port Road Dental, we use professional-strength gels and custom application techniques to brighten your smile more effectively and comfortably.
- Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
- Some patients notice temporary sensitivity during or after whitening, but it usually fades within a few days. We can adjust your treatment, recommend sensitive-friendly toothpaste, or space out sessions to keep you comfortable.
- How long do teeth whitening results last?
- Results vary, but many patients enjoy a brighter smile for a year or longer with good home care. Limiting dark foods and drinks, not smoking, and scheduling recommended touch-ups can help your results last even longer.
- Will whitening work on crowns, fillings, or veneers?
- Whitening gels lighten natural tooth enamel, but they do not change the color of crowns, fillings, or veneers. If you have restorations in your front teeth, we’ll discuss how whitening may affect your overall look and whether replacement or other cosmetic options are a better fit.
- How white will my teeth get?
- Everyone’s starting shade and response to whitening is different. Our goal is a noticeably brighter, natural-looking smile—not an artificial “too white” appearance. We’ll review realistic expectations with you before treatment begins.
- How long does the whitening appointment take?
- In-office whitening typically takes about an hour, depending on the type of system used and how many whitening cycles we complete. Take-home whitening is done over several days or weeks, giving you flexibility to whiten on your own schedule.
- Is teeth whitening covered by dental insurance?
- Because teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic treatment, most dental insurance plans do not cover it. Our team will review costs with you beforehand and can discuss payment options to help you plan your care.
- How do I get started with teeth whitening at Port Road Dental?
- Simply schedule an appointment with our office in Fox Point, Wisconsin. We’ll examine your teeth, talk about your goals, and recommend the whitening option that fits you best so you can move toward a brighter, more confident smile.
