Teeth Whitening

​

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that aims to lighten the color of teeth and remove stains and discoloration.

 

​

 

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that is done by a dentist or dental hygienist to improve the color of your teeth. It is typically more effective than over-the-counter whitening products and can result in a significant improvement in the color of your teeth.
 

There are two main types of professional teeth whitening: in-office whitening and take-home whitening.

 

In-office teeth whitening, also known as chairside whitening, is typically done by a dentist or dental hygienist in a dental office setting. The procedure involves the use of a whitening gel that is applied to the teeth and then activated with a special light or laser. The procedure typically takes about an hour and can result in significant improvement in the color of the teeth.
 

Take-home teeth whitening, also known as custom-fit tray whitening, involves creating custom-fit trays that fit over the teeth. The patient will wear the trays for a specified amount of time each day for a certain number of days, depending on the kit. The patient will be given a whitening gel to use with the trays. The results of take-home teeth whitening can be more gradual, but still very effective.

​

It's important to note that professional teeth whitening is not a one-time procedure and the results may not be permanent. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired shade. It's also important to note that teeth whitening may not work for everyone, and in some cases, other cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers or crowns may be recommended.
 

Please Follow Thes Instructions Before a Teeth Whitening Procedure 

​

Have a dental exam: Your dentist will check for any oral health issues that could affect the outcome of the whitening procedure. They will also determine if you have any cavities or gum disease that need to be treated before whitening.
 

Clean your teeth: Your teeth should be free of plaque and tartar before whitening. Your dentist or hygienist may recommend having a professional cleaning before the whitening procedure.

 

Remove dental work: If you have any dental work such as fillings, crowns, or veneers, your dentist may recommend removing them before whitening to avoid uneven whitening.

 

Stop certain medications:  If you are taking any medications such as tetracycline, your dentist may recommend stopping them before whitening because they can cause tooth discoloration.

 

Stop smoking and avoid staining foods: Your dentist may recommend avoiding smoking and certain foods and drinks that can stain your teeth before whitening, this will help to maintain the results for longer.
 

Following these instructions before teeth whitening can help ensure that the procedure is safe and effective for you and that you get the best possible results.

What To Expect After a Teeth Whitening Procedure â€‹
 

After a teeth whitening procedure, patients can expect some tooth sensitivity and mild discomfort for a few days. The sensitivity is usually temporary and subsides within a few days to a week. Your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for your teeth, which may include avoiding certain foods and drinks, and using sensitivity toothpaste.
 

You may also notice some mild tooth sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures for a few days after the procedure. This is normal and should subside within a few days.
 

It's also important to note that the results of teeth whitening may not be immediately visible. It may take a few days for the full effect to be seen. The whitening effect can last for several months to a year, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired shade.
 

It is recommended to follow up with your dentist after your teeth whitening procedure to check on your progress and ensure that everything is progressing well.
 

It's important to also note that teeth whitening may not work for everyone, and in some cases, other cosmetic dental procedures such as veneers or crowns may be recommended.
