What is Tooth Whitening?
Tooth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that aims to lighten the color of teeth, effectively removing stains and discoloration from the tooth surface. It works by penetrating the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth and breaking down the molecules that cause discoloration.
What Is the Tooth Whitening Process?
- Cleaning and Preparation: We will clean your teeth to remove plaque, debris, or surface stains.
- Gum Protection: A protective barrier will be applied to your gums and lips to shield them from the whitening agent.
- Whitening Gel Application: We will apply a concentrated whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The gel typically contains a peroxide-based solution.
- Light Activation (Optional): To accelerate the whitening process and enhance the results, a laser or LED light may be used to activate the whitening gel.
- Gel Removal and Rinsing: Once the desired whitening effect is achieved, we will remove the whitening gel and rinse your teeth thoroughly.
Does Tooth Whitening Work on All Stains?
Teeth whitening is most effective at removing extrinsic stains, which have accumulated on the surface of the teeth from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. However, it may not be as effective at removing intrinsic stains, such as those caused by certain medications or tetracycline antibiotics taken during childhood.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
Teeth whitening is generally considered a safe and painless procedure. However, some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, especially during the first few days of treatment. This sensitivity can be managed by using a desensitizing toothpaste or gel.
