Afterglo Organic Teeth Whitening Studio

Frequently Asked Questions

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary from person to person depending on your natural tooth color, age, and lifestyle. Many clients see their teeth brighten by several shades after just one session.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes! At Afterglo, we use a gentle, organic whitening system designed to minimize sensitivity while delivering noticeable results.

Does it hurt?

Most clients experience little to no sensitivity during or after treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, let your whitening specialist know before your appointment.

How long does a session take?

• 25-Minute Touch-Up: Great for maintaining your smile.

• 40-Minute Whitening: A noticeable refresh.

• 60-Minute Signature Whitening: Our most popular treatment for maximum results.

• Add an additional 10-20 minutes to each appointment

How long do results last?

With proper aftercare, results can last several months. Regular touch-ups and good oral hygiene will help keep your smile bright.

Can I eat or drink after my appointment?

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid foods and drinks that could stain a white shirt, including:

• Coffee

• Tea

• Red wine

• Soda

• Dark berries

• Tomato sauce

• Soy sauce

• Tobacco products

Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Most healthy adults and teens with permanent teeth are good candidates. Whitening works best on natural teeth and will not whiten crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding.

Can I whiten if I have crowns or veneers?

Yes, but whitening only affects natural teeth. Existing dental work will remain the same color.

How often should I whiten?

Most clients maintain their smile every 3–6 months, depending on their lifestyle and habits.

Is there anything I should do before my appointment?

We recommend brushing your teeth beforehand and arriving with clean teeth. Please try to brush no more than 4 hours prior to your appointment. For best results and to eliminate sensitivity, come well hydrated. Please let us know at time of booking if you have naturally sensitive teeth. This allows us to reserve one of out specialized sensitivity-friendly whitening lamps for your session.

Do I need a dental exam first?

If you have untreated cavities, gum disease, severe tooth pain, or other dental concerns, we recommend seeing your dentist before whitening.

Can I book online?

Yes! Booking is quick and easy through our online scheduling system.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Walk-ins are welcome based on availability at our east side location. Booking an appointment is the best way to reserve your preferred time.

What is your cancellation policy?

Appointments are reserved specifically for you. Please provide 48 hour advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows may be subject to a fee according to our booking policy.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes! Gift cards make a great gift for birthdays, holidays, graduations, weddings, and special occasions.

Do you have memberships or whitening packages?

Yes! We offer memberships and package options that help you save while maintaining a brighter smile year-round.

Hydrate Before Your Appointment!

Hydrate, hydrate and hydrate some more. We can't stress this enough! The only sensitivity you should experience from our products would be due to dehydrated nerves. It is important that you drink at least a gallon of water a full 24 hours before the appointment. Don’t wait the day of your appointment to start hydrating. Start 24 hours prior! The better hydrated you are, the better results you’ll have.

Eat Before Your Appointment

You will not be able to eat for 2 hours after your appointment. Eat before your scheduled time.
