What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten and brighten the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, which may provide limited results, professional teeth whitening treatments are performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist using high-concentration bleaching agents that penetrate deep into the enamel to dissolve stains and discoloration.

Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening

  1. Customized Treatment: Professional teeth whitening treatments are tailored to your specific needs and desired level of whitening, ensuring optimal results. Over-the-counter products offer a one-size-fits-all approach, which may not address individual concerns or provide consistent results.
  2. Stronger Bleaching Agents: Professional teeth whitening solutions contain more bleaching agents than over-the-counter products, allowing for more effective stain removal and brighter results in a shorter amount of time.
  3. Supervised Treatment: Professional teeth whitening treatments are performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist, who can monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. Over-the-counter products lack this level of oversight and may pose risks if used incorrectly.
  4. Longer Lasting Results: Professional teeth whitening treatments can provide longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products, which may offer temporary whitening effects that fade over time.

What are the Benefits of Teeth Whitening?

Why Do Teeth Stain?

Teeth can become stained or discolored for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Food and Beverages: Certain foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, contain pigments that can stain the teeth over time.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can cause yellowing and discoloration of the teeth.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can contribute to tooth discoloration.
  • Age: As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth can wear away over time, revealing the underlying dentin, which can appear yellow or discolored.
  • Medications: Some medications, such as certain antibiotics and antihistamines, can cause tooth discoloration as a side effect.
