Frequently Asked Questions About In-chair Teeth Whitening
How do professional teeth whitening work?
Professional whitening gel uses a form of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide to remove stains from your teeth. These chemicals break down the stains so that can no longer cling to your teeth enamel.
Does professional teeth whitening remove all stains?
In-chair whitening can remove stains that are on the exterior surface of your teeth (extrinsic stains). If you have discoloration on the inside of your teeth (intrinsic stains) due to decay to certain types of antibiotics, whitening will not remove these stains. You will need dental bonding, a crown, or veneer.
How long will professional teeth whitening last?
If you practice good oral hygiene and you visit your dentist twice a year for a dental cleaning, your new bright smile can last for more than three years. You can also have touch-up whitening treatments every 12 months to maintain your white smile.
