Teeth whitening:
how to whiten teeth professionally
Before we dig in, it’s important to start by addressing what teeth whitening is. It’s a cosmetic dentistry treatment that is designed to lighten the color of the teeth by one shade or more. It’s how many people get rid of their yellow teeth or remove stains.
Every patient and their teeth are unique, so it’s important to keep in mind that the results will vary from one person to the next.
That being said, you should try and have realistic expectations about the outcome of your teeth whitening treatment. The reality is that the large majority of those who undergo treatment achieve a visibly whiter and brighter smile.
How does teeth whitening work?
Regardless of which type of teeth whitening you use, the treatment works by applying a hydrogen peroxide gel. The teeth whitening gel will either be made from hydrogen peroxide itself or from carbamide peroxide, which decomposes into hydrogen peroxide.
How does hydrogen peroxide work in teeth whitening?
So, how does teeth whitening with hydrogen peroxide work?
It gets absorbed into the pores of the enamel and penetrates in the inner layers, whitening the teeth from the inside.
Quick reminder that hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening should always be supervised by a professional. You’ll need to have your teeth analyzed first to determine if they’re suitable for treatment.
Professional teeth whitening with trays at home
Wondering how to make your teeth white at home? This could be the option for you. Many people enjoy getting a whiter smile from home using teeth whitening trays - under the supervision of a professional. The dentist will prescribe you a teeth whitening gel and explain how to use it at home. They’ll be able to match you with a product depending on the color of your enamel and the nature of your teeth.
They should also instruct you in terms of the length and frequency of product use. Teeth whitening with trays normally requires several sessions at home.
