Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is performed to make your teeth look whiter. Teeth whitening can be achieved at home or with an in-office treatment. Both treatments will be done using a solution of hydrogen peroxide, which helps remove deep stains from tooth structure, therefore lighting the shade of your teeth.

Before deciding to have teeth whitening treatments, you must have a dental exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening treatment. If you have dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, or bridges, whitening treatment may affect them, and your dentist will explain the benefits and disadvantages that may arise.

The in-office whitening treatment is performed in one appointment. The at home treatment is performed in two visits, as it requires the fabrication of a custom tray that will be worn temporarily until you achieve your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

How long does teeth whitening last?

The length of time that teeth whitening last varies with each individual and depends on various factors. These factors include the type of whitening treatment, your diet, and your lifestyle habits.

Whitening treatments are meant to get rid of the stains you have, but it's up to you to prevent future stains.

What are the risks of teeth whitening?

  • Sensitivity: Many people experience sensitivity after a tooth whitening treatment, but your dentist can recommend products to alleviate this side effect.
  • Gum irritation: Gums can become irritated if they come into contact with the whitening product.
  • Multicolor teeth: This happens if you get whitening done, but you have a tooth restoration, like a crown or a denture — the restoration isn't whitened.

Does teeth whitening damage tooth enamel?

Tooth whitening procedures do not damage tooth enamel, even though you may feel some sensitivity.
