Frequently Asked Questions
Does teeth whitening damage tooth enamel?
No, when performed by professionals, the products used are designed to be safe and do not weaken the tooth structure.
How long do the results last?
They generally last 1 to 2 years, depending on your eating and hygiene habits, such as coffee or tobacco consumption.
Does it cause a lot of sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, but we use specific desensitizing gels to ensure a comfortable experience.
Does it work on crowns or veneers?
Teeth whitening only affects natural enamel; porcelain or resin restorations retain their original color.
Is in-office teeth whitening better than at-home whitening?
Yes, in-clinic treatment is much more powerful, faster, and is supervised to ensure your gums are protected throughout the process.
In what cases is it necessary to place a crown instead of a filling?
A crown is recommended when the tooth has lost much of its structure due to a fracture, extensive decay, or after a root canal, as a filling would not be enough to restore the strength needed for chewing.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to our Miami clinic, crowns can last between 10 and 15 years. Their durability depends largely on the material chosen and the care the patient takes with their periodontal health.
Does a crown feel different from a natural tooth?
There may be a brief adjustment period initially, but the crowns are designed to mimic the anatomy of your original teeth. Dr. Ramirez ensures a precise bite so that after a few days, you won't notice any difference when eating or speaking.
