Frequently Asked Questions
QHow much does teeth whitening cost near me in NYC?
In-office whitening in NYC often sits in the mid-hundreds and can go higher depending on provider and method. Custom trays are typically less than in-office.
QCan I get teeth whitening the same day in NYC?
Sometimes. If you're flexible, you'll have better odds—especially outside peak after-work hours.
QIs professional whitening safe if I have sensitive teeth?
Many people with sensitivity can still whiten, but you'll want a provider-guided plan (lower strength, staged whitening, desensitizing support).
QWill whitening work if I have crowns or veneers?
Whitening typically affects natural tooth enamel, not crowns/veneers. A provider can explain options to keep color consistent.
QIs $500 whitening worth it?
If you value faster results and guidance, it can be. For a lower-cost approach, custom trays can be a good compromise.
QHow long do results last?
Maintenance varies with habits like coffee/tea and red wine. Many people keep results longer with periodic touch-ups.
QZoom vs laser vs trays—what's best?
It depends on your timeline, sensitivity, and goals. In-office is fastest; trays are more gradual and often gentler.
QDo I need a dentist for whitening?
Not always, but dentist-supervised whitening is popular for people with sensitivity, dental work, or more complex needs.
