Teeth Whitening
Importance of Teeth Whitening
A radiant smile is often the first thing people notice, making a lasting first impression. A bright, white smile not only enhances your appearance but also boosts your confidence. As we age, teeth can become stained or discolored, making professional teeth whitening an effective solution to restore their natural brightness.

Procedure for Teeth Whitening
Initial Consultation
The dentist evaluates your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to
determine the suitability of whitening treatment. Any existing issues, like cavities or gum disease, are addressed first.
Teeth Cleaning
A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth, ensuring that the whitening treatment works more effectively.
Shade Selection
The dentist discusses your desired whitening results and uses a shade
guide to establish your current tooth color and the target shade.
Preparation and Protection
For in-office treatments, a protective gel or rubber shield is applied to the gums and soft tissues to prevent irritation from the whitening agent.
Application of Whitening Gel
A whitening agent, usually carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, is applied to the teeth. In some cases, the gel is activated by a special light or laser to speed up the whitening process.
Waiting Period
The whitening gel is left on the teeth for 15-30 minutes, depending on the concentration and desired results.
Rinsing and Evaluation
After the treatment time, the gel is rinsed off, and the dentist evaluates the results. Additional rounds of whitening may be done for further whitening, if necessary.
Post-Treatment Care
The dentist provides instructions on maintaining the results, including avoiding staining foods and beverages for the next 24-48 hours and using sensitivity toothpaste if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed by a qualified dentist. The products used in our treatments are formulated to minimize sensitivity and protect your tooth enamel.
The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Typically, results can last from six months to two years. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, as well as regular dental check-ups, can help
maintain your bright smile.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after teeth whitening. This is usually mild and subsides within a few days. We offer desensitizing treatments to help manage any discomfort.
Teeth whitening is most effective on surface stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking. However, some deep or intrinsic stains may require additional treatments such as internal bleaching or veneers for optimal results.
With in-office teeth whitening, you can see noticeable results immediately after the treatment. At-home whitening kits may take a few days to a couple of weeks to achieve the desired shade.
It is recommended to wait at least six months to a year between professional teeth whitening sessions. Over whitening can lead to sensitivity and damage to the enamel.
Teeth whitening treatments do not change the color of crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations. If you’re considering whitening, it’s best to do so before getting these treatments so your restorations can be matched to your natural tooth color
