Many patients worry that teeth whitening will cause sensitivity or pain, especially if they already have sensitive teeth. Others are concerned about whether their crowns or fillings will match their newly whitened teeth.

Dr. Maddipati examines your teeth first to check for sensitivity issues and explains which whitening option works best for your situation. She shows you exactly which teeth will whiten and which restorations won't change color, so you know what to expect before starting.
