Professional Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at brightening the colour of teeth and enhancing one's smile. It is a safe and effective way to reduce stains and discolouration caused by various factors, such as aging, dietary habits, and certain lifestyle choices. Teeth whitening can boost your confidence, improve your appearance, and give you a radiant smile. At Carlton Dental, we can help explore the causes of tooth discolouration, teeth whitening options, and important considerations to achieve optimal results.
What to Expect on Visit
In-office whitening involves applying a high-concentration bleaching gel directly to the teeth, which is activated using a special light or laser. The process usually takes about two hours and can significantly whiten the teeth in a single session.
Results may vary per individual.
Are there any precautions to Teeth Whitening?
While teeth whitening is generally safe, some individuals may experience temporary side effects, such as tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. These effects are typically mild and subside after the whitening treatment is completed.
To minimize potential risks and ensure the best outcome, it is important to:
Follow the instructions provided by your dentist or the product manufacturer.
Avoid overusing teeth whitening products beyond the recommended duration.
Inform your dentist about any pre-existing oral health conditions or sensitivity concerns.
Seek professional guidance before using any teeth whitening products if you have dental restorations, such as veneers or crowns, as whitening agents may not affect them.
How much does Teeth Whitening cost?
In office teeth whitening will be around $550. There are other options that are not in-office such as take home kits.
At Carlton Dental in downtown Toronto, we follow the ODA Fee Guide so that you can be ensured you are getting affordable dental care.
FAQs
-
Professional whitening treatments use stronger bleaching agents that provide more effective and longer-lasting results compared to over-the-counter products like whitening strips or toothpaste. The process is also monitored by a dentist to reduce the risk of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity.
-
When performed correctly, teeth whitening treatments do not damage tooth enamel. However, it is important to follow the instructions provided and seek professional guidance to prevent any potential harm.
-
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies depending on factors such as oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle factors. With proper care, teeth whitening can last anywhere from several months to a couple of years.
-
Teeth sensitivity does not necessarily disqualify you from teeth whitening. However, it is important to inform your dentist about your sensitivity concerns to determine the most suitable whitening approach and minimize discomfort.
-
Yes, when performed by a dentist, professional teeth whitening is safe. Dentists use controlled concentrations of bleaching agents and take precautions to protect your gums and other soft tissues from damage during the procedure.
-
Teeth whitening may cause temporary sensitivity, especially if you have pre-existing tooth sensitivity. Your dentist can recommend desensitizing treatments or fluoride products to minimize discomfort. Any sensitivity usually subsides within a few days after treatment.
-
In-office whitening treatments usually take 60 to 90 minutes. For take-home kits provided by your dentist, the process may take a few weeks of daily use, depending on the strength of the whitening gel and the level of staining on your teeth.
-
The results vary depending on your natural tooth color, the type of stains, and the whitening system used. Most patients experience teeth that are several shades lighter, but your dentist will give you a realistic expectation based on your specific case.
-
Professional whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains caused by foods, drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine), and smoking. It may be less effective on intrinsic stains caused by factors like certain medications or tooth trauma.
-
Teeth whitening is not suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended for people with gum disease, cavities, exposed tooth roots, or sensitive teeth. It also won’t work on crowns, veneers, or fillings, as they do not respond to bleaching agents.
-
No, teeth whitening agents do not affect crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have restorations, they may need to be replaced or adjusted to match the color of your whitened teeth for a consistent appearance.
