Laser Teeth Whitening in NYC — Midtown Manhattan

Most patients achieve 4-10 shades whiter in a single laser whitening session. Results vary depending on your starting tooth color, the type of staining, and your enamel thickness. During your consultation Dr. Shimanov will give you a realistic expectation based on your specific teeth — not a generic promise.

A typical laser whitening appointment at Smile Creators Dental takes approximately 45-60 minutes from start to finish. You walk in, we treat your teeth, you walk out with a visibly brighter smile — same day.

Yes. Professional laser whitening performed by a licensed dentist is safe and clinically proven. At Smile Creators Dental, Dr. Shimanov personally oversees every whitening treatment. We use protective barriers on your gums, professional-grade materials, and proper technique to ensure both safety and results.

Results from professional laser whitening typically last 1-3 years depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco significantly extends your results. Touch-up treatments are available when needed.

Whitening strips use 3-14% peroxide and take 2-6 weeks for modest results. Professional laser whitening uses a significantly higher concentration activated by a specialized light — delivering dramatically better results in a single 60-minute appointment. There's no comparison in terms of speed or effectiveness.

Yes — sensitivity doesn't automatically disqualify you from whitening. We assess your sensitivity level during your consultation and can adjust the treatment protocol accordingly. We also use desensitizing agents before and after treatment to minimize discomfort.

For other treatments, we offer flexible payment options. Call us at (212) 753-6785 to discuss what works for your budget.

Whitening agents do not affect crowns, veneers, bridges, or bonding. If you have existing restorations, we'll assess during your consultation whether whitening will work for your situation and what results to realistically expect. In some cases a combination approach works best.

Come to your appointment with clean teeth — brush and floss before you arrive. Avoid heavily pigmented foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, berries) for 24-48 hours before your appointment. If you have significant sensitivity, let us know when you book so we can prepare accordingly.

For the first 48 hours after treatment avoid coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauce, and tobacco — your teeth are most porous right after whitening and absorb stains easily. After that, maintaining results is simple: brush twice daily, use a whitening toothpaste, and come in for regular cleanings. Touch-up treatments every 12-18 months keep your smile consistently bright.
