Foods That Wreak Havoc on Your Teeth and Gums

Sugary and sticky foods, sugar-free drinks and alcohol can all affect your teeth and gums. Learn what to limit and how to protect your enamel.

The questions patients ask us first

Is professional whitening better than at-home kits?

Professional whitening is supervised, tailored to your sensitivity, and usually gives more even results. Over-the-counter kits can work for mild stains but are harder to control.

Does whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No. Whitening only changes natural enamel. Existing crowns, veneers, and fillings keep their shade, which is why they are planned together with any whitening.

How do I keep my teeth white after whitening?

Limit staining drinks, rinse after coffee or red wine, keep up regular cleanings, and use touch-up trays as recommended. Our whitening options guide covers this in more detail.

Brighter, and Still You
