What is teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of teeth by applying a gel, which is then activated by lights or lasers (with precautions taken to protect the gums) that breaks down stains on the enamel and dentin, lightening the colour of your natural teeth.
What is teeth whitening
When considering teeth whitening, it's essential to take several factors into account to ensure that the procedure is safe, effective, and suitable for your needs. Here are the key considerations:
1. Dental Health Assessment
2. Type of Discoloration:
3. Sensitivity Concerns:
4. Whitening Method:
5. Duration and Maintenance
How long will Teeth Whitening last
The effects of teeth whitening will last anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years. The whitening effects will fade sooner if you smoke, don’t brush and floss often, and consume staining substances such as red wine and coffee.
It will last longer if you minimise these substances and take good care of your oral health.
