What is a Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the discoloration of your teeth. Over time, teeth can become stained by food, drinks like coffee or red wine, and even smoking.

Whitening treatments use bleaching agents, most commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stain molecules within the tooth enamel.

The result? A brighter, whiter smile that can boost your confidence and overall appearance. There are various teeth whitening options available, including in-office professional treatments for faster results or at-home kits for a more gradual approach.

Why choose teeth whitening?

Tooth discolouration is a naturally occurring problem that can be further exacerbated by our lifestyle choices.

It affects a huge number of people and has a variety of different causes, including what we eat and drink, the way we brush our teeth, and even our natural susceptibility to stains.

If ignored, your teeth can become a dark yellow colour which can affect your confidence and self-esteem, as well as your dental hygiene.

Benefits Of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening effectively removes stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and other pigmented foods and drinks. It can also address discoloration from smoking or tobacco use.
Whiter teeth contribute to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. A bright smile draws attention to your face in a positive way and can make you look more vibrant and healthy.
In our society, a smile is often the first thing people notice. A brighter smile can create a more positive first impression, making you appear approachable, friendly, and confident.
While not directly related to whitening itself, many people associate whiter teeth with fresher breath. This perception can further enhance your confidence in social interactions.
Teeth whitening is a safe procedure for most people when done correctly. However, it's important to consult your dentist beforehand, especially if you have sensitive teeth, pre-existing gum disease, or other oral health concerns.
Taking pride in your appearance can contribute to a sense of well-being. Knowing you have a bright, confident smile can positively impact your overall self-image and emotional state.

Frequently asked questions

Over time, teeth can become discolored due to various factors:
  • Food and Drinks: Consumption of pigmented foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, or curries can stain the enamel.
  • Smoking and Tobacco Use: Smoking and chewing tobacco leave behind dark stains on tooth surfaces.
  • Medications: Certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, can cause tooth discoloration.
  • Aging: The natural aging process can lead to the thinning of tooth enamel and a yellowing of the dentin layer beneath.

Teeth whitening utilizes bleaching agents, most commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stain molecules within the tooth enamel. These agents penetrate the enamel and reach the dentin layer, where discoloration often occurs. The bleaching process breaks down larger stain molecules into smaller, colorless components, ultimately lightening the overall shade of your teeth.

For most people, teeth whitening is safe when done correctly. However, it's better we consult beforehand for assessment of your oral health for suitability (considering gum disease or sensitive teeth) and recommend the most appropriate method.

Teeth whitening doesn't damage enamel. However, some people might experience temporary tooth sensitivity.

The longevity of whitening results varies depending on individual factors like stain severity, whitening method used, and lifestyle habits. Whitening can last 1-3 years, Maintaining good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods and drinks can help results last longer.

People with severe gum disease, exposed tooth roots, very sensitive teeth, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and young children (under 14) might not be suitable candidates for teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening prices usually varies and we normally determine after the examination.

While some natural methods like baking soda or strawberries are circulated, there's limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. These methods might also damage tooth enamel if used incorrectly.

Avoid staining foods and drinks for at least 24-48 hours after treatment. Maintain good oral hygiene habits like brushing and flossing twice daily. Consider using a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth if you experience any discomfort.

  • Practice good oral hygiene: Brush twice daily, floss daily, and attend regular dental cleanings.
  • Limit staining foods and drinks: Consume them in moderation and rinse your mouth with water afterward.
  • Don't smoke or use tobacco.
  • Consider touch-up treatments: Maintain your bright smile with periodic whitening treatments as needed.
