Teeth Whitening Process

Teeth whitening is a procedure that whitens the teeth and brightens the smile. It can be used to whiten teeth that are stained from smoking, foods, and drinks. It is also helpful for whitening teeth that have become darker with age.

What is teeth whitening?

The color of teeth is caused by the reflection of light on the enamel. A thin coating forms on the enamel that can pick up stains. There are also tiny pores in the teeth that can hold stains. As the enamel thins with age, more of the color of the dentin inside of the teeth can show through, which is why teeth may appear darker as people grow older. To make the teeth whiter, dentists apply a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution to the teeth while protecting the gums during a visit that lasts between 30 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on which method is used. People will need to have between one and three treatments. The number of visits that may be required will depend on the chosen method, the severity of the stains and the desired whiteness.

How does teeth whitening work?

A standard in-office teeth-whitening procedure is not painful for most people. Many people are able to watch television or take a nap while it is being performed. Here are the steps that you might expect to happen.

Cheek retractor inserted: The dentist will insert a cheek retractor into the mouth. This is an instrument that pulls the lips and cheeks back to expose all of the teeth that will be whitened.
Protective solution applied to gums:The dentist will next either apply a hardening resin to protect the gums or paint on a liquid rubber. This helps to protect the surrounding tissue from the bleaching agent.
Application of the bleaching gel: The dentist next paints on the bleaching gel on the aesthetic teeth, which are the teeth that people can see when the mouth is open. The gel will be left on for 15 to 30 minutes.
Suctioning of the gel: The gel will then be suctioned off of the teeth. Fresh gel will be applied and left on for another 15 to 30 minutes.
Use of ultraviolet or led light: The dentist may use an ultraviolet or led light during the periods that the gel is on the teeth to accelerate and enhance the whitening process.
After the last application: Following the last application of the gel, the dentist will remove the cheek extractor. The patient will then rinse his or her mouth, and the dentist will measure the color difference.

After Care

When your teeth whitening session is complete, you will need to restrict your diet to clear liquids for at least two hours. After that time has passed, you can eat any kind of white food that won't stain your teeth, such as chicken, pasta, and potatoes. An easy way to decide if you can have a particular food is to consider if it would stain a white shirt, such as red berries. If it would, then you should avoid it. For the first two days after your treatment, brush your teeth gently with white toothpaste that does not contain whitening ingredients or baking soda. After the first 48 hours, you can resume your normal diet, but keep in mind that new staining can occur as you consume red wine, coffee, and other dark-colored foods and beverages.
