Teeth Whitening FAQs
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
The good news is that professional teeth whitening treatment utilizes high-quality bleaching materials that are safe for your smile, so you shouldn’t expect any discomfort during or after the process. That said, be sure to notify our team if you’ve ever struggled with something like tooth sensitivity. If you have, we can customize your treatment plan to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible, such as providing you with desensitizing toothpaste. We’ll do everything we can so that you can be completely stress-free while achieving a brighter smile.
What’s the Difference Between Professional & Store-Bought Teeth Whitening?
You might expect a variety of differences between professional and over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments. For starters, your dentist will be using incredibly effective, safe, and clinically tested bleaching gels/materials to brighten your pearly whites. Over-the-counter whitening products, however, are typically generic and diluted, meaning they won’t provide the dazzling results that you can expect from professional cosmetic treatment. Furthermore, your dentist will tailor your process to specifically fit your dental needs whereas store-bought products are mostly designed as a one-size-fits-all option. Last but not least, professional teeth whitening treatment will keep your gums and the rest of your oral health in mind, that way there aren’t any negative effects on the rest of your grin after the process.
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
Like most cosmetic dental services, your teeth whitening results will not be permanent. Even so, there are plenty of methods for preserving your newly whitened teeth for six months or longer. One of the most basic ways is to be consistent in brushing, flossing, and rinsing your teeth with mouthwash every single day. You should also refrain from smoking and overindulging in dark-pigmented foods and drinks. Instead, try using a straw when sipping on sodas or coffee, and be sure to visit your dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings, that way they can polish your teeth regularly while also addressing any signs of underlying issues early on. You can also schedule touchups to bring back the awe-inspiring appearance you achieved from your whitening treatment process.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
Our team at Family Dental Associates of Spring Hill offers take-home teeth whitening treatment, which involves wearing custom-made trays and bleaching solutions to gradually brighten your grin. In many cases, you can expect your results to be completed within a couple of weeks. That said, your specific level of tooth stains or discoloration can influence how long your process takes. More extensive tooth staining may require more than one round of whitening treatment to accomplish your desired smile goals.
