Am I Eligible for Teeth Whitening?

How Much Time Will An In-Chair Tooth Whitening Treatment Take?

Typically, in-chair teeth whitening treatments will require between 1 and 2 hours. The time needed will vary depending on – the product your dentist uses, the treatment method used – ultraviolet light or laser and your circumstances.

During Teeth Whitening Treatment What Happens?

Teeth whitening treatment begins with an initial consultation with your Kings Family Dental Centre-approved dentist. Your dentist needs to complete a full check-up to decide which treatment will be best for you.

• Your dentist will place either a gel or rubber shield on your gums for an in-chair tooth whitening procedure. It shields your gums and other soft tissues from the effects of bleaching.
• Then, your dentist will apply the whitening product to your teeth. The active agent in whitening products is usually either carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide.
• The active ingredients get crushed, and as oxygen enters the enamel on your teeth, stains get eliminated, giving you a brighter smile.
• For activating the whitening product, some treatments may use a light or laser.

Are Teeth Whitening Painful?

The pain experienced may differ from one person to another, and it also depends on the method used. Most adults may experience slight discomfort that may last between one and two days after the treatment. Your dentist will prescribe necessary painkillers to relieve the pain. Besides, your dentist may direct you to apply gel fluoride in your teeth whitening tray to help reduce sensitivity.

Are Teeth Whitening a Permanent Solution?

Teeth whitening is not a lasting or permanent solution. Depending on your circumstances, it may last from a few months up to two years or more. If you often drink dark liquids, such as coffee, tea or red wine, or smoke, the treatment will get impacted.

Are Teeth Whitening Safe?

Teeth whitening treatment administered by a practised dentist is 100% safe! Your Kings Family Dental Centre-approved dentist will give you protective goggles that you will have to wear. And your dentist will use rubber shields and gels to safeguard your gums from exposure to the active bleaching ingredients during the in-chair procedure. Likewise, in the rare case of an allergic reaction, your Kings Family Dental Centre-approved dentist is a trained practitioner and is available to provide quick and timely care.

If you choose take-home tooth whitening treatment, your Kings Family Dental Centre-approved dentist will make bespoke trays that will perfectly fit your teeth. These trays are ideal for reducing the contact between the whitening product and your gums, which may cause discomfort.

Will Teeth Whitening Harm the Teeth?
