Whitening Your Teeth in Just 45 Minutes by In-Office Cool-Light Teeth Whitening Solution
How Does Cool Light In-Office Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening works by using a bleaching agent, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, in the form of a gel applied directly to the teeth. These compounds break down into oxygen molecules, which penetrate the enamel (the outer layer of the teeth) and reach the discolored molecules within the dentin (the inner, yellowish tissue of the teeth). The oxygen molecules react with the stains, breaking them apart and essentially whitening the teeth. This chemical process does not harm the enamel when used in recommended concentrations and durations. A cool blue light is directed onto the gel. This light activates the whitening agents in the gel, speeding up the chemical reaction that breaks down stains and discoloration on the teeth. As the treatment progresses, patients can visibly see their teeth becoming lighter and brighter.
How Long Is The Treatment?
The treatment typically lasts between 15 to 45 minutes, making it incredibly convenient for individuals seeking a quick enhancement to their smile.
*The duration of the procedure may vary based on the initial tooth color and the desired level of whitening.
Is Teeth Whitening Result Permanent?
Teeth whitening is not a permanent solution to discoloration. Over time, teeth can become stained again due to various factors such as consuming dark-colored foods and drinks, smoking, or poor dental hygiene. The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on individual habits and lifestyle choices.
What are the possible side effects of Teeth Whitening?
the most common side effect is tooth sensitivity, which can occur during or after the treatment. This sensitivity is usually temporary and can be managed with desensitizing toothpaste or gels recommended by your dentist. Gum irritation is another possible side effect, often caused by the whitening solution coming into contact with the gums. This can result in temporary discomfort or mild inflammation.
Can a single tooth that has been root-filled be whitened?
Sometimes many dead teeth go discolored after a root filling. If the tooth has been root treated, the canal (which contained the nerve) may be reopened. The whitening product is applied from the inside to whiten the tooth.
How can I look after my teeth once they have been whitened?
You can help to keep your teeth white by cutting down on the amount of food and drink you have that can stain teeth. Don’t forget, that stopping smoking can also help prevent discoloration and staining.
