Through tooth bleaching you achieve whiter teeth without having to do major work on your teeth and without affecting other tooth structure, It is considered to be one of the safest procedures.
What happens in a professional tooth whitening procedure?
The teeth is surrounded by a rubber dam. This isolates your teeth so the procedure won’t affect your gums and tongue. Once they’re secured, the teeth is cleaned thoroughly. Then the teeth is covered with gauze. After that, bleaching solution is applied on your teeth. Heat is applied to cure the bleach and make the treatment faster. This procedure is repeated until the desired shade is achieved. The treatment takes thirty to fourty-five minutes. After this, your teeth will be noticeably whiter.
Does professional teeth bleaching guarantee success for everyone?
It depends on what caused the stains. If they are surface stains caused by tobacco, tea or coffee can easily be bleached. But the result is not permanent. If you continue to expose your teeth to them (smoking, coffee) the stain will gradually return. Stains caused by other factors like antibiotics you took as a child are harder to remove. Other treatment methods like jacket or porcelain veneers might do the trick. Your cosmetic dentist knows what kind of treatment will work for you.
