Will whitening damage my teeth?

Done correctly under dental supervision, whitening doesn't damage enamel. Temporary sensitivity is common.

Does insurance cover whitening?

Cosmetic whitening usually isn't covered by insurance, but many Merced offices offer affordable packages.

Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

No — whitening only changes natural tooth color. Crowns and veneers stay the shade they were made.

How often can I whiten my teeth?

Touch-up frequency depends on the method and your habits — your dentist will give you specific guidance.
