What to Expect During Whitening


Your whitening experience is designed to be comfortable and predictable:

  2. Custom Treatment Selection – Choose between in-office or take-home options.
  3. Whitening Process – Your treatment gently lifts stains and brightens enamel.
  4. Shade Reveal – Enjoy a noticeably whiter smile, often several shades brighter.
  5. Maintenance Guidance – We provide tips to help your results last.

How Long Do Whitening Results Last?


Most patients enjoy results that last 6–24 months, depending on habits and maintenance. Avoiding staining foods, using touch-up trays, and maintaining routine cleanings can extend your results even longer.


Is Whitening Right for You?


Whitening is ideal for patients who want to brighten their natural tooth structure.

It may not be recommended for:


  • Teeth with deep internal staining

  • Patients with significant sensitivity

  • Patients needing restorative work first

Dr. Sheth will help determine whether whitening or another cosmetic option (such as veneers or bonding) will give you the results you want.


Benefits of a Whiter Smile


Patients often experience improvements like:


  • Greater confidence

  • A more youthful appearance

  • Motivation to maintain good oral habits

  • Do you offer same-day emergency dental appointments?

    Yes. We provide same-day emergency care for toothaches, infections, broken teeth, swelling, or urgent issues. We are also available 7 days a week for dental emergencies. Call our office right away for assistance.

  • What services are included in preventive dental care?

    Preventive care includes routine cleanings, exams, digital X-rays, fluoride treatments, oral health education, gum disease screening, and pediatric visits. These services help prevent cavities, gum issues, and long-term dental complications.

  • What cosmetic dental treatments do you offer?

    We offer whitening, composite veneers, bonding, smile makeovers, and clear aligners (Invisalign & Spark). Dr. Sheth uses advanced training and artistic skill to create natural, beautiful, confidence-boosting results.

  • How do composite veneers differ from porcelain veneers?

    Composite veneers are placed in a single visit, are more affordable, and require minimal tooth preparation. Porcelain veneers last longer and resist staining but require multiple visits. Dr. Sheth will help determine the best option for your goals.

  • Are clear aligners a good option for adults?

    Absolutely. Invisalign and Spark Aligners are excellent for adults seeking a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth. They can correct crowding, gaps, bite issues, and mild-to-moderate misalignment.

  • What should I expect during a root canal?

    Root canals relieve pain by removing infection inside the tooth. With modern techniques and Dr. Sheth’s gentle approach, most patients report the procedure feels similar to getting a filling — and relief is immediate.

  • How long do crowns and fillings last?

    Tooth-colored fillings can last 7–10 years, while custom dental crowns can last 10–15+ years with proper care. Regular cleanings, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard chewing help extend their lifespan.

  • Am I a candidate for dental implants?

    You may be a good candidate if you have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and sufficient bone structure. Implants are the most natural, durable replacement option. We coordinate implant placement and provide custom crowns for beautiful results.

  • What services do you provide for children?

    We offer gentle pediatric cleanings, exams, cavity prevention, fluoride treatments, X-rays, fillings, growth monitoring, and education to help kids build strong oral habits. Our office is warm, friendly, and designed to ease dental anxiety.

  • Do you offer options for replacing multiple missing teeth?

    Yes. We provide partial dentures, full dentures, implant-supported dentures, and bridges. Dr. Sheth will review your goals and determine which option offers the best comfort, function, and esthetics.
