Teeth Whitening FAQs
Whitening can be very effective for many common stains, but not every type of discoloration responds the same way. Stains caused by certain medications, dental trauma, or changes inside the tooth may require a different cosmetic treatment.
Good oral hygiene and regular dental cleanings can help maintain your results. Limiting staining foods and beverages, avoiding tobacco, and rinsing or brushing after consuming stain-causing drinks can also help your smile stay brighter.
Professional teeth whitening uses whitening agents and personalized trays to break down stains and discoloration on the teeth. Treatment is designed to brighten your smile while being supervised by a dental professional.
Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years depending on your oral hygiene and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other staining foods and drinks can cause discoloration to return more quickly.
Whitening results vary from person to person depending on your natural tooth color and the type and severity of staining. The goal is typically to achieve a noticeably brighter smile while maintaining a natural appearance.
Over-the-counter whitening products can improve some surface stains, but professional whitening allows treatment to be tailored to your teeth and supervised by a dental professional. Professional options may also provide more noticeable and predictable results.
When performed or supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is generally considered safe for appropriate candidates. Your dentist can evaluate your teeth and gums beforehand to determine whether whitening is a good option for you.
Modern Dental of Durham offers professional teeth whitening for patients looking to brighten their smiles. A consultation can help determine the best whitening approach based on your teeth, existing dental work, and cosmetic goals.
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening. This typically improves after treatment. If you already have sensitive teeth, let your dentist know so they can recommend the most appropriate approach.
Whitening treatments generally do not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other dental restorations. If you have restorations in visible areas, your dentist can discuss how whitening may affect the overall appearance of your smile.
