Teeth whitening can be safe for sensitive teeth, especially when performed under the guidance of dental professionals like our team at Signature Smiles. We understand that every smile is unique, and we take extra care to tailor our whitening treatments to your specific needs, especially if you’ve experienced tooth or gum sensitivity in the past.
Tooth sensitivity can happen when the enamel is thin or the gums are slightly receded, exposing more of the tooth’s inner structure. That doesn’t mean whitening is off the table; it simply means we’ll opt for a gentler approach.
Gentle Teeth Whitening at Signature Smiles
At our dental office in Cary, NC, we offer professional-grade whitening options that are more effective and safer than store-bought kits. We’ll start by assessing your enamel and sensitivity level, then recommend an in-office or take-home treatment that best suits your needs.
Many of our patients with sensitivity benefit from a slower, more gradual whitening process, paired with desensitizing toothpaste or fluoride treatments. We’ll guide you through each step and answer any questions you may have along the way.
