Frequently asked questions about teeth whitening services
At Tooth Architect Dental Care in Sandy Springs, Georgia, our providers are dedicated to providing quality care and access to affordable cosmetic dentistry services. Men and women looking to brighten their smiles can ask Dr. Shiva Talebi and her team about the advantages of our office’s professional dental bleaching and teeth whitening services. Below are some frequently asked questions about our professional dental bleaching treatments.
What is professional teeth whitening?
Our team best describes professional teeth whitening as a cosmetic dental operation that lightens the natural color of your teeth using specific methods and materials safe for your tooth structure. It is performed in our office by a licensed dentist or dental professional and typically provides more effective and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter whitening products.
What types of teeth bleaching treatments are used at Tooth Architect Dental Care?
Dr. Talebi offers three whitening options to fit your needs: in-office whitening, take-home custom whitening solutions, and over-the-counter premade trays. As a holistic practice, our office only uses biocompatible materials to avoid damaging natural tooth structures.
- Take-home custom whitening solutions. Dr.Talebi offers patients a more gradual and personalized approach to teeth whitening with take-home custom trays and professional-grade bleaching gel. This option allows all of our patients to whiten their teeth at their own pace with the guidance of our dental professionals.
- In-office teeth whitening. Patients who want fast and professionally-guided whitening can seek in-office dental bleaching treatments. This method often yields immediate results, making it ideal for special occasions or events.
- Take-home + In-office. This new KOR technology offers the most effective results. Patients will have custom trays to do a two-week regimen at home, which involves desensitizing and preparing the teeth to receive the highest level of whitening in the office. This is followed up with an in-office session that isolates the teeth, and stronger bleaching material is applied to teeth in series to result in naturally appropriate white teeth.

Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Professional teeth whitening done by a licensed dentist or dental professional is considered safe. Our team at Tooth Architect Dental Care takes all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and comfort of our patients during any whitening treatments.
Does insurance cover teeth whitening?
Unfortunately, most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like teeth whitening. However, we are excited to offer flexible payment and financing options to make our services more affordable for our patients.
Can I use my HSA/FSA for teeth whitening?
No. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment, not an oral health care procedure. Therefore, an HSA or FSA cannot be used to cover the associated costs.

Who is a good candidate for professional teeth whitening?
Generally, any adult patient with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from professional teeth whitening. However, it may not suit individuals with certain dental conditions like gum disease. In many cases, like aging or previous dental treatment, teeth have microcracks or gray shadowing. Many of these types of darkness can not be removed with teeth whitening. Dr. Talebi will assess the cause of your teeth discoloration before recommending an appropriate treatment to avoid unsuitable teeth whitening. She will evaluate your oral health and discuss potential concerns before recommending the best treatment.
