Teeth Whitening Q & A

Are professional dental treatments better than take-home kits?

Since take-home kits don’t have as high a concentration of bleaching chemicals, they aren’t as effective and take a lot longer. In-office teeth whitening is more effective for many reasons; for example, a heat laser light can be used in conjunction with the professional whitening product that’s applied directly to your teeth, enhancing the effects.

The process involves bleaching the enamel and removing stains and discolorations. As we age, dentin, the layer under the enamel of your tooth, yellows. Professional treatments are superior to most other methods in removing deep-set stains on the dentin.

Some professional treatments may require multiple visits. You can choose from in-office whitening treatments like Zoom!® or professional take-home kits that work over a few weeks.

If you’re happy with your smile, it can boost your confidence. Clinical studies have shown that under dentist supervision, teeth whitening with approved bleaching chemicals is completely safe.

What are the options for teeth whitening?

Several teeth whitening treatment options are available, including:

  • Take-home kits
  • Over-the-counter gels
  • Whitening toothpastes
  • Other chemical products
  • In-office professional whitening treatments

How does teeth whitening work?

The bleaching chemicals typically used are hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The bleaches break stains into smaller particles that disperse the color, making it less concentrated and making your teeth appear whiter.

Tooth whitening products are completely safe, with no side effects or risks. You may experience mild tooth sensitivity, but other than that, your experience will be safe and comfortable. The products make your teeth appear several shades lighter and are even able to break up deep-set stains.The products are best used for shorter time periods in higher concentrations.

Dr. Samet examines your teeth and gums on your first visit and discusses the various teeth whitening treatments available to you. You can begin treatment immediately if you choose to do so.
