Teeth Bleaching Procedures

If you are unhappy with your smile and are considering teeth bleaching as an option, here is a quick overview of what to expect.

There are three options for teeth whitening. All use the same basic ingredients in different concentrations, but the level of professional supervision may make a difference in the long term outcome of your smile. Professional teeth bleaching, done in the office and monitored by a dentist, uses the highest and most consistent concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide.

The dentist will polish the teeth with a pumice and then the whitening agent will be applied. Depending on the agent and amount of whitening needed, a curing light may be utilized to activate the agent and give it more whitening power. This procedure may be reapplied for up to an hour to get the desired effects.

Tooth bleaching kits may be purchased from your dental professional to use at your convenience at home. These kits use the same ingredients as the dentist would use in the office setting. A customized tray will be fitted for your teeth to allow the solution to remain on the surface of the tooth. These kits usually provide results within a couple of weeks if used properly. Over the counter products,while readily available, contain a much lower concentration of peroxide and take longer to achieve the desired effect. They generally utilize trays or strips to keep the whitening agent on the teeth.

Keep in mind that any restorations of teeth such as crowns and veneers will never whiten past their initial color. Teeth that have discolored from developmental issues or are certain natural hues may not get a desired result from teeth whitening. It is always best to consult your dentist before embarking on a teeth whitening program.
