What Is Teeth Whitening?

Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home teeth whitening system prescribed by your dentist to whiten teeth dramatically.

Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every few months or as recommended by our dentist. You may need more follow-up treatments if you smoke, eat heavily pigmented foods, or drink coffee, tea, or wine.

What Are The Reasons For Teeth Whitening?

Patients teeth whitening for a host of reasons, including:

✓
Yellowed teeth due to poor oral hygiene
✓
Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
✓
Normal wear of outer tooth layer leading to dull-looking teeth
✓
Staining due to medications (tetracycline, antihistamines, chemotherapy drugs, etc.)
✓
Staining due to smoking, drinking dark-colored beverages, or eating acidic and pigmented foods

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

At Greenfield Family Dentistry, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions with Opalescence and LumiBrite. Our teeth whitening services usually require two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom, clear plastic trays.

At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with a special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit your dentist regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.
