Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful — it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. Dr. Hawk offers in-office and take-home teeth whitening treatments in his Boca Raton cosmetic dentistry office.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking. Luckily, the latest tooth whitening technology can help you get the gorgeous white teeth you’ve always wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If I Need Teeth Whitening?
The following signs are key indicators that a patient can significantly benefit from teeth whitening treatment:
- You notice yellowness, stains, or uneven coloring among your teeth.
- You have not had your teeth professionally whitened, and you are over 35 years old.
- You are a smoker.
- You drink wine, tea, or coffee daily.
- You have discolored teeth in your family history.
- You are insecure about the way your smile looks.
Who Is a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Ideal candidates for teeth whitening are patients who are in overall good oral health but see noticeable discoloration in their smile. If you are suffering from oral conditions such as gum disease, it is recommended you have this treated before beginning teeth whitening. Patients who have multiple dental fillings or crowns may not be suitable for teeth whitening as it can damage the bonding of the filling or crown to the tooth.
Is Teeth Whitening Painful?
The teeth whitening procedure is not typically painful for most patients. However, it is common to experience increased tooth sensitivity or gum sensitivity after their procedure.
How Long Will My Teeth Stay White?
Patients can expect to notice their smile becoming whiter in the three weeks that follow their teeth whitening procedure. These results can last anywhere from six months to three years, depending on your diet, eating habits, and oral care routine.
How Can I Prevent Staining My Teeth in the Future?
If you want your teeth whitening results to last as long as possible, consider investing in a whitening toothpaste that will not only brighten your smile but also protect your teeth. In addition, staying away from foods and drinks such as the following will help preserve the results of your whitening treatment:
- Tea and coffee
- Red wine
- Sodas, especially those that are colored dark, like Cola
- Fruit juices
- Tomato-based sauces
- Curry
- Balsamic vinegar
- Soy sauce
