What Is Teeth Whitening and How Is It Done?
Over time, your teeth will become yellow due to natural aging, everyday activities, and bad habits. Some of the most common causes of yellow teeth are:
-
- Drinking wine, coffee, or tea
-
- Not brushing teeth regularly
When this happens, you have to choose whether to live with an unattractive smile, try some slow-acting home remedies, or go for a radical teeth whitening procedure that will improve your smile immediately.
Our teeth whitening process bleaches your teeth and makes them whiter safely. While in most cases, your teeth will not suddenly become a brilliant white, the bleaching process significantly lightens the teeth.
A bleaching agent will thoroughly coat your teeth during the whitening process. After that, a laser will be applied to activate the bleaching agent and leave your teeth looking much whiter. The entire process should take at most an hour to complete.
Although not necessarily painful, teeth whitening does leave the teeth feeling a little bit sensitive, which may be a source of minor discomfort for a few patients.
When done correctly, and depending on which of the many whitening options has been selected, teeth whitening results can last anywhere between six months and three years.
Who Needs This Procedure?
A brighter smile is often associated with a boost of self-confidence that everyone could benefit from. This procedure is suitable for anyone who wants to have a whiter smile. However, most dental specialists, like Dr. Briana Chavez, recommend that teeth whitening be reserved for patients older than 14.
