Frequently Asked Questions | Crystal Whitening
About Our Whitening Service:
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening at Crystal Whitening in Excelsior, Minnesota is a 90-minute luxury experience that includes three 20-minute whitening sessions with our pro whitening gel & blue LED Lamp and a complementary 10-minute vitamin booster under our red-light. Our process is designed to safely whiten years of stains and reveal your brightest smile instantly.
How white can my teeth get after one appointment?
Results vary for each person, but most clients see up to 14 shades brighter after one visit. Every smile has a natural stopping point, and we focus on getting you to your healthiest, most radiant white.
Is teeth whitening safe for enamel?
Yes! Our professional-grade gels are formulated to be gentle yet effective. We use clean ingredients that do not harm enamel. You can trust our treatment for enamel-safe teeth whitening in the Twin Cities.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on your lifestyle and habits. Regular whitening touch-ups or our Crystal Whitening On-The-Go pens and at-home kits can help maintain your glow.
What’s the difference between at-home kits and professional whitening?
Our in-studio service uses a high-powered 3-color LED lamp and concentrated gel that delivers faster, deeper results. Our at-home kits are a great way to maintain brightness between appointments (ideal for busy professionals and brides-to-be.)
