What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is an aesthetic treatment that aims to lighten discolouration that develops over time in the enamel and dentine.
Staining habits such as tea, coffee, smoking and red wine, age-related changes and some medicines can make teeth darker.
Rather than forcing tooth colour beyond its natural limits, whitening aims for a brighter look that suits the structure of your teeth.
Results therefore vary from person to person; tooth structure, starting shade and the type of staining are the deciding factors.
When carried out in a controlled way with professional products, whitening can give safe and effective results. The key point is that surface stains and discolouration within the tooth are different.
Surface stains respond more quickly, while deep discolouration may need longer or different protocols.
Teeth whitening is also different from scaling or polishing. Cleaning removes deposits on the surface, while whitening aims to lighten the colour of the tooth chemically.
How Is Teeth Whitening Done?
Teeth whitening is usually done in two ways: in-office whitening at the clinic, and home whitening with trays under your dentist's supervision.
In in-office whitening, the gums are protected with barriers and a professional whitening gel is applied to the tooth surface. The process is checked at set intervals until complete.
This method is often chosen because it gives a visible lightening in a short time.
Some treatments use light-assisted systems, but the main effect comes from the gel, applied safely at the right concentration.
For home whitening, custom clear trays are made. The gel recommended by your dentist is placed in the trays and worn for set periods.
This method gives more gradual, controlled lightening and can be more comfortable for people prone to sensitivity.
