Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of the teeth and helps remove stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter and more attractive smile.
Teeth whitening typically involves the use of bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrate the enamel to break down stains and lighten the natural color of the teeth.
When performed under the supervision of a qualified dental professional, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. However, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation, which usually resolves on its own.
In-office teeth whitening procedures usually take about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the specific treatment and the level of discoloration. At-home whitening kits may require multiple applications over a period of several days or weeks to achieve noticeable results.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies depending on individual habits, such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices. With proper care and maintenance, the results of teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years.
While teeth whitening is generally safe for most individuals, it may not be suitable for everyone. It is important to consult with a dentist to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure, especially if you have existing dental restorations or certain dental conditions.
Teeth whitening is effective for most types of extrinsic stains caused by factors like food, beverages, and smoking. However, it may not be as effective for intrinsic stains that originate from within the tooth, such as those caused by certain medications or dental trauma.
