What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten the color of teeth. Rather than a one-time treatment, it’s a process that effectively removes stains and discoloration from the enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth.

There are two primary types of teeth whitening:

Professional Whitening: Conducted in our office by our dentist, Dr. Saleem, this method involves the application of a bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide, onto your teeth. It is then activated using a light or laser. While it is generally more effective, it’s also more costly. Our chairside whitening procedure, led by Dr. Saleem, is perfect for those seeking immediate results. Relax in our state-of-the-art facility while our professional staff pampers you. In just about an hour, witness up to an eight-shade difference in your smile. Our chairside whitening is a swift and efficient method that leaves you with a radiant, confident smile sure to turn heads.

At-Home Whitening: This involves the use of a bleaching gel or strips applied to teeth independently. Although less expensive, it takes longer to show results compared to professional whitening. Experience the potency of professional-grade bleaching gel with our home whitening kits. Our kits include custom-made bleaching trays, ensuring a perfect fit for your unique smile. Achieve professional-level results conveniently in the comfort of your home.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Teeth whitening can be safe and effective when done correctly. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Here’s a breakdown of the safety of teeth whitening:

Generally safe:

Professional teeth whitening: When performed by a dentist, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. Dentists use higher concentrations of bleaching agents than-over-the-counter products, but they can also monitor your treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.
Over-the-counter whitening products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance: The American Dental Association (ADA) has a seal of acceptance program for teeth whitening products that have been found to be safe and effective. Look for this seal when choosing over-the-counter whitening products.

Potential risks and side effects:

Tooth sensitivity: Teeth whitening can cause temporary tooth sensitivity, especially for people with sensitive teeth to begin with. This sensitivity usually goes away after a few days.
Gum irritation: Whitening products can also irritate the gums, especially if they are used too often or for too long.
Damage to tooth enamel: In rare cases, overuse of whitening products can damage the enamel of your teeth.

Here are some tips for safe teeth whitening:

Talk to your dentist before starting any teeth whitening treatment, especially if you have any dental problems.
Follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Don’t use whitening products more often or for longer than recommended.
Stop using a whitening product if you experience any side effects, such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
Maintain good oral hygiene while using whitening products. Brush and floss your teeth regularly.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind before you whiten your teeth:

Teeth whitening is not permanent. You will need to repeat the treatment every few months to maintain your results.
Teeth whitening is not effective on all types of stains. For example, it will not work on tetracycline stains, which are caused by a medication.
If you have any dental problems, such as cavities or gum disease, you should talk to your dentist before you whiten your teeth.
