Teeth Whitening FAQ
Is whitening safe?
Whitening is Gentle and safe when supervised. The growth of whitening has quadrupled in popularity in recent years as yellowed teeth are becoming less and less aceptable, both socially and professionally. Procedures have been simplified and shown to be safe. A number of bleaching material manufacturers have submitted their products to extensive safety and efficacy tests. The results have been resoundingly positive.
Who can use tooth whitening?
Nearly anyone, from the time their permanent teeth come in, can be a candidate for tooth whitening, That is if you want to obtain a more confident smile.
How long will whitening take?
You'll see results right away, usually within five days of starting the whitening process. The complete process normally takes betweenone and two weeks depending on the source, type, and depth of discolouration.
How does whitening work?
Hydrogen Peroxide is a gentle, oxygenating agent that penetrates the enamel and dentine, breaks up deposits lodged in your tooth structure and then carries away debris.
What is the process?
Be sure that you begin the treatment in good dental health. Then an impression of your teeth is necessary (self or assisted) in order to provide you with a custom-fit plastic tray designed to hold the bleaching gel next to your teeth. Following the bleaching programme, you'll notice the results quickly, as the gentle oxygenating action of the gel begins to whiten your teeth. Treatment is usually two weeks or less (with syringe delivered material).
Is there any discomfort?
Answer:There is little, if any. Less than 10% of patients might feel an increased sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure during the whitening process. Sensitivity ends a day or two after the treatment is completed. Only use Sensodyne toothpaste during the whitening process.
Will whitening damage my teeth?
Not at all. The whitening process will not effect your enamel, tooth structure, bonding or restorations. Whitening acts only on the molecules that carry the discolouration.
How long will it last?
Non-smokers who don't drink coffee or tea often see little or no change for up to two years. But your own long-term results will depend on your habits and the specific foods you eat. Based on those variables, some patients may require a "touch-up" treatment at regular intervals.
What guarantee have I that my teeth will be a lighter colour
Reserch has shown that a 9% Hydrogen peroxide gel solution when used with custom trays, will, due to an oxidative removal of organically deposited substances on the enamel or dentine, lighten the natural tooth.
