Perfect candidates for teeth whitening are anyone who has an otherwise healthy mouth with no fillings and healthy gums but this does not totally exclude individuals who do not meet these requirements. Teeth whitening is more effective on patients who have yellowing tones to their teeth. Individuals who would not have as high of a success rate with teeth whitening are:

• patients with sensitive teeth or gums
• Patients that may be allergic to the chemicals used in whitening
• Individual who have gum diseases such as gingivitis and Periodontitis disease
• Patients who have active cavities or exposed roots, restored teeth fillings or crowns as the results will not be the same as natural teeth
• Individuals who have the preconceived notion that their results will be more then realistic
• Patients who have darkly stained teeth. Darkly stained teeth can be lightened but it can take many months of procedures to obtain a lighter effect.

It is best if a patient schedules for a teeth cleaning prior to teeth whitening in order to remove any surface stains that may exist.

Touch ups will be needed periodically to maintain the brightest smile possible, and more frequently if you are an active smoker, coffee, tea or wine drinker, or in the habit of eating foods with high stain possibilities.
