Who wouldn’t want an adorable white smile? Teeth whitening is one of the most popular dental procedures performed annually. People around the world spend nearly $5 billion every year to keep their smiles looking brighter. Over time, factors like eating habits, smoking, and aging can cause teeth to stain.
Traumas and antibiotic usage during the development period can also contribute to discoloration. If you’re looking to brighten your smile, teeth whitening offers a great solution.
The process removes stains and is a reliable, commonly used treatment. Teeth whitening can be done at a dental clinic or at home, though in-office treatments tend to yield quicker and more effective results.
Under the supervision of a dentist, the teeth whitening process is safe and does not lead to permanent damage. The dentist applies the appropriate amount of whitening material to your teeth. While some patients may experience tingling or sensitivity to extreme cold during the treatment, this can be easily managed with special medications and chemicals provided by your dentist.
The results of teeth whitening typically last between one to three years, depending on your habits, oral care, and cigarette consumption. After this period, you may need a reinforcement session to maintain the brightness of your smile. However, the change in color during this time is not a complete return to the original shade, and teeth may only darken by a shade or two depending on usage.
Laser teeth whitening offers quicker and more lasting results compared to other whitening methods. The process involves the use of a laser and gel to brighten the teeth. Studies have shown that laser whitening can lighten teeth by 5 to 14 shades, depending on the original color of your teeth. The lighter your natural teeth are, the more noticeable the whitening results will be.
