How does tooth whitening work?
Tooth whitening is the process of using a bleaching agent to lighten the shade of tooth enamel and eventually the dentin.
Bleaching takes 2 appointments. One is to make an custom impression. The second appointment is for the seat and instructions. Patients do bleaching 1 hour per evening for a period of 2 weeks for best results.
Common questions about Tooth Whitening
What can cause discoloring of my teeth?
The most common causes of tooth discoloration is smoking and coffee drinking
although antibiotic stainning is frequently seen
I have crowns and veneers. Will they whiten as well?
Crowns and veneers are made of porcelain which is not affected by whitening
agents
Why not just use over the counter tooth whitening products?
Over the counter products are recommended for keeping teeth white rather than
getting the yellowness out initially.
Hydrogen Peroxide is common amongst whitening products.
Does higher concentration mean whiter results?
No not necessarily. The end result is a combination of concentration of the active
component in the gel, the period of time the gel is applied for and the incorporation
of catalytic agents into the formula. Formulas vary between different brands of
products.
