How long can take-home whitening results remain visible?

Opalescence Go whitening results are temporary and gradually fade as teeth take up color from foods, drinks, tobacco, and normal aging.

Which tooth surfaces can whitening gel change or leave unchanged?

The peroxide gel lightens natural tooth structure but does not change fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorations. New staining can accumulate on the tooth surface after treatment.

How can you follow the whitening schedule without overusing it?

Follow the product directions and do not extend wear time or frequency without dental advice. Reduce staining exposures and have dark restorations assessed before whitening.

When should pain, cracks or rapid colour change be assessed?

Seek dental advice for sharp sensitivity, gum burning, uneven color, cavities, cracks, or discoloration that fades unusually quickly.

What should you ask about suitability, wear time and restorations?

Ask whether your teeth and gums are suitable, what wear schedule applies, and whether visible restorations need a separate cosmetic plan.

Frequently asked questions

Can several factors cause take-home whitening results to fade?

Yes. Examination separates local irritation, inflammation, decay, infection, and bite or appliance factors.

Will home care cure the underlying problem?

Home care can reduce irritation, but persistent symptoms need treatment directed at their dental cause.
