Teeth whitening is a great option if your teeth have become stained or dull. Even healthy teeth can discolor over time due to factors like aging, genetics, antibiotics and tobacco use. Whitening treatments are an easy way to brighten your smile and boost your confidence. Before proceeding, your teeth and gums will be evaluated to check they’re suitable for the procedure. At your dental whitening appointment, our teeth whitening dentist will:
Tooth discoloration can result from aging, genetics, diet (especially acidic or pigmented foods and beverages), tobacco use, certain medications and poor oral hygiene. Over time, enamel can wear away, exposing the darker dentin beneath.
Professional whitening treatments typically use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide than over-the-counter products. Agents break down surface and enamel stains, safely brightening your smile for faster, more dramatic results.
While professional whitening is safe, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Effects usually subside within 24-48 hours. It's essential to have a professional evaluation to check the health of your teeth and gums beforehand.
Results can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on lifestyle factors such as diet, tobacco use and oral hygiene habits. Touch-up treatments can help maintain a bright smile for longer periods.
Teeth whitening treatments do not affect dental restorations like crowns, veneers or fillings, as the materials are not porous like natural teeth. If whitening is done, the natural teeth will lighten, and you may need to discuss replacing any restorations to match the new shade of your teeth.
