TEETH WHITENING

Teeth whitening is a quick, non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to give you a brighter, more radiant smile. Over time, teeth can become stained from foods, drinks like coffee or wine, smoking, or natural aging. Professional teeth whitening removes these stains, restoring the natural colour of your teeth and leaving them noticeably whiter.

Why It’s Important/Benefits:

Improves First Impressions: A radiant smile is one of the first things people notice about you and can leave a lasting impression.
Reverses Daily Staining: Over time, everyday activities like drinking coffee, tea, or wine, and natural aging can discolour teeth. Teeth whitening reverses these effects, restoring their brightness.
Supports Good Oral Hygiene: Whitening often motivates people to maintain better oral hygiene habits to keep their teeth looking great.

THE STEPS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL SMILE

How We Diagnose and Plan Treatment:

Initial Assessment: The dentist examines your teeth to determine the type and severity of staining.
Customized Whitening Plan: A treatment plan is created based on your goals and the condition of your teeth.

What to Expect During Treatment:

A protective barrier is applied to your gums before the whitening gel is applied to your teeth. A special light may be used to activate the whitening agents.

What to Expect After Treatment:

You may experience temporary sensitivity to cold or hot foods after treatment. Avoid consuming staining foods and drinks like coffee or red wine for at least 48 hours. Results can last several months with proper care.

MATERIALS USED

Professional-grade whitening agents, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, are used for effective results.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed by a dental professional. The products and techniques used are carefully designed to protect your teeth and gums while delivering effective results.

How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of teeth whitening can last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene. Avoiding staining foods, drinks, and smoking can help prolong the effects.

Does teeth whitening work on all stains?
Teeth whitening is most effective on surface stains caused by food, drinks, and aging. However, it may not work on deep, intrinsic stains or discoloration caused by certain medications or dental trauma. Your dentist can recommend the best options for your case.

Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people may experience temporary sensitivity after whitening, but this usually subsides within a few days. Professional whitening treatments are designed to minimize discomfort.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Whitening treatments do not work on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have restorations, consult your dentist for options to match their color to your natural teeth.

What’s the difference between professional whitening and over-the-counter products?
Professional whitening delivers faster, more noticeable results and is tailored to your specific needs. Over-the-counter products are less effective, take longer, and may not be as safe for your enamel or gums.
