Frequently asked questions about our Teeth Whitening Treatment
The durability of teeth whitening results can vary widely among individuals, depending on habits such as smoking, and the consumption of staining foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine). Generally, the effects can last from a few months to up to three years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and using touch-up treatments can help prolong the results.
Yes, some people may experience side effects, although they are usually minor and temporary. The most common are:
Tooth Sensitivity: This occurs during the early stages of the bleaching process and usually diminishes after the treatment ends.
Gum Irritation: This is often caused by a poorly fitted mouthpiece tray rather than the bleaching agent itself and usually goes away after treatment.
Patients should consult with a dentist to minimize these risks and receive treatment tailored to their needs.
Teeth whitening is not suitable for everyone. It is most effective on teeth that have yellow tones and less effective on teeth with brown or gray tones. Whitening is not recommended for:
Children under 16 years of age.
Pregnant or lactating women.
People with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, and exposed roots.
People with allergies to ingredients in the bleaching products.
A dental examination can determine if teeth whitening is a suitable option based on oral health and the type of staining.
To maintain your newly whitened teeth:
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas are known to stain teeth. If consumed, try to brush your teeth or rinse your mouth shortly afterward.
Stop Smoking: Tobacco can cause significant teeth discoloration.
Follow Good Oral Hygiene Practices: Brush at least twice a day, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to keep your teeth looking bright.
Regular Dental Visits: Regular cleanings and check-ups help remove plaque and stains from your teeth.
There are primarily three types of teeth whitening options:
In-Office Whitening: Performed by a dental professional, this method uses high-concentration bleaching gels that often activate with a special light or laser, providing the most dramatic results in the shortest time.
At-Home Whitening Kits from Dentist: These kits include custom-fitted trays made by a dentist and a lower concentration bleaching gel. The treatment period typically spans several weeks, with daily or nightly application.
Over-the-Counter Products: These include strips, toothpastes, and trays with bleach. They are the most affordable but generally the least effective compared to methods offered by dental professionals.
