Teeth whitening treatments are designed to enhance the brightness of your smile, potentially lightening it by 5 to 10 shades in just one session. According to the American Dental Association, these treatments have become among the most sought-after cosmetic dental treatments nationwide.
Professional teeth whitening can be administered at a dental office or provided as a take-home treatment. Unlike over-the-counter options, professional whitening employs more potent agents that yield quicker and more effective results.
Teeth whitening products generally fall into two categories:
Most whitening solutions use carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, both of which are effective bleaching agents. These compounds penetrate the enamel and work by chemically interacting with stain molecules.
As these agents oxidize, they break down and eliminate stains, leading to a visibly whiter smile. The effectiveness of the whitening process depends on the concentration of these active ingredients.

If you're dealing with teeth discoloration but have otherwise healthy teeth and gums, you might be a good candidate for professional teeth whitening. To determine if whitening is appropriate for you, schedule a consultation with our dentist.
Keep in mind that individuals who are pregnant or have sensitivities to whitening agents might not be suitable for these treatments.
Teeth whitening involves a comprehensive cleaning and polishing of your teeth, ensuring that all debris is removed. Next, your dentist will protect your gums before applying a whitening agent to your teeth. This agent is activated and left on your teeth for a few minutes before being rinsed off.
The extent of whitening will depend on the natural color of your teeth and the level of discoloration. Typically, patients see a noticeable improvement of several shades in just one visit.
After a professional whitening treatment, some tooth sensitivity is normal. You may be advised to avoid beverages with strong pigments, like tea, coffee, and wine, for at least 24 hours to prevent re-staining. Depending on your results and long-term whitening goals, you might also receive an at-home whitening kit to maintain your brighter smile.
