What is teeth whitening and how does it work?
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of teeth and helps remove stains and discoloration. It works by using a bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. This gel penetrates the porous enamel of the tooth, breaking down the chemical bonds of the stain-causing molecules and making them appear lighter. The process is most effective on natural teeth and does not work on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings.
What are the main types of professional teeth whitening options?
There are two main types of professional teeth whitening provided by a dentist:
- In-Office Whitening: This is a fast and effective procedure performed in the dental office. A high-concentration whitening gel is applied to the teeth, and a special light or laser may be used to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. Results are often visible after a single, one-to-two-hour appointment.
- Custom Take-Home Kits: Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays. You are given a professional-strength whitening gel to use with these trays at home for a specified period each day, usually for a few weeks. This method offers a more gradual whitening process with excellent, controlled results.
How can I maintain the results of my teeth whitening treatment?
To keep your teeth looking their best after whitening, it's crucial to follow a few key steps:
- Mind Your Diet: For the first 48-72 hours, your teeth are more susceptible to staining. It's best to avoid dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries.
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use a whitening toothpaste to help remove new surface stains.
- Avoid Tobacco Products: Smoking and chewing tobacco are major causes of tooth discoloration. Quitting is the most effective way to prevent future staining.
- Consider Touch-Ups: Over time, some discoloration is natural. Your dentist can provide a touch-up kit or recommend periodic in-office treatments to maintain your bright smile.
