Dental whitening is a simple and effective cosmetic procedure that helps to lighten the shade of your teeth. It can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a complete colour change, but it may lighten the existing shade. Why would I need my teeth whitened? Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth, and our teeth can also become more discoloured as we get older. Teeth can also develop surface stains from foods and drinks like tea, coffee, red wine, and blackcurrant. Smoking is another common cause of discoloration. In some cases, staining can occur beneath the surface, often due to certain antibiotics or microscopic cracks in the enamel that trap stains How long will my teeth stay whiter? Whitening effects generally last up to three years, although this can vary for each person. The results may not last as long for individuals who smoke or regularly consume food and drinks that stain teeth. Be sure to discuss your options with your dental team before starting the treatment. What are the side effects? Some individuals may experience temporary sensitivity to cold during or after the whitening treatment. Others might notice mild gum discomfort, a sore throat, or white spots along the gum line. These effects are generally short-lived and should subside within a few days after treatment. Aftercare & Tips for a Lasting Bright Smile: Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: For the first 24–48 hours after treatment, try to avoid foods and beverages that stain, such as tea, coffee, red wine, something that is colored food.
