FAQ
What is teeth whitening and how does it work?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that lightens the color of your teeth, removing stains and discoloration. It works by using a bleaching agent, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which breaks down stains on the enamel. This treatment can be performed in-office or at home with custom trays.
Is teeth whitening safe for everyone?
Teeth whitening is generally safe for most people, but it is not recommended for everyone. Individuals with sensitive teeth, gum disease or worn enamel should consult our dentist before starting treatment. Additionally, whitening treatments do not affect crowns, veneers or fillings, so these may require separate attention to match your teeth.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of your whitening results depends on your oral habits. Results can last from six months to two years with proper care. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain, such as coffee or red wine, and maintaining good oral hygiene will help extend the effects of the whitening treatment.
Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after teeth whitening. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Our dentist can adjust the treatment strength if sensitivity persists, and there are desensitizing products available to help reduce discomfort during and after the procedure.
Can I whiten my teeth at home?
Yes, at-home teeth whitening kits are available. We recommend that you receive your take-home whitening kit from our dentist rather than purchasing it over-the-counter, as professional teeth whitening typically delivers faster and more reliable results. Please discuss your smile goals with our dentist to choose the right teeth whitening method for your needs.
