Frequently Asked Questions

Will my teeth feel sensitive after?
Sensitivity is possible but it is rare and very minimal. Each appointment begins with a consult where we will choose the proper gel to suit your needs. A remineralization gel can also be applied after the treatment to help avoid sensitivity.
If you have sensitive teeth its best to use a sensitive toothpaste regularly or leading up to your appointment.
