Several factors can cause your teeth to discolour and yellow over time. Some of these factors include ageing, drinking coffee, soda, and caffeine, and using improper oral hygiene habits. Fortunately, patients can rejuvenate their dull teeth with teeth whitening treatments from our experienced dentists.
One of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, teeth whitening is an effective treatment that involves bleaching teeth to make them whiter and brighter. In-office teeth whitening is a safe and quick way to improve your teeth’s appearance and reduce discolouration, staining, and yellowing.
Teeth whitening treatments are not suitable for everyone. For instance, patients with tooth decay and gum disease must address these conditions before receiving treatment. Teeth whitening is also not ideal for patients dealing with tooth sensitivity. To make sure you are a good candidate for a whitening treatment, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our team.
The procedure involves the application of a whitening gel onto your teeth’s porous surface. We then use high-density light to activate the gel and speed up the treatment. After activation, the bleaching agent breaks down the staining molecules, lifting them out of your teeth’s enamel. By doing so, it leaves patients with brighter, cleaner-looking teeth.
On average, your whitening should last for about 12 months. However, this will depend on how well you care for your teeth after treatment. For instance, you will need a top-up sooner if you revert to the habits that caused your teeth’s discolouration.
