FAQ: Teeth Whitening
We’ve put together some of the most common Smile Design questions to help you make an informed decision.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
When we apply whitening product to the tooth, it breaks down into water and oxygen ions. The oxygen ions enter the tooth enamel, attacking the long stain molecules, breaking them down into shorter molecules that are colourless. These molecules are then naturally removed from your tooth by saliva.
Teeth whitening kits can come in various strengths, with the more intense consisting of a high number of oxygen ions.
How Does It Compare To In-Chair Whitening?
An alternative to home whitening kits is to visit a dental clinic and have the procedure performed with a dental professional. This procedure may take between 2 and 3 hours. The procedure is highly effective however in some minor cases, the procedure can leave your teeth very sensitive for a short period of time. While we also can do this at Aria Dental, we rarely offer this option as we find that take-home teeth-whitening is usually more cost effective & convenient for the patient.
Our professional take-home kits are fast acting, taking just 1-2 weeks and a lower risk of tooth sensitivity. Plus, we find that the benefits last longer than in-chair whitening, and only require occasional maintenance sessions down the track.
How Many Shades Lighter Will My Teeth Become?
After a course of at-home teeth-whitening, your teeth will become approximately two to three shades lighter over a two to four-week period. This may not mean much to the you but in real terms the outcome essentially means they ‘will be noticeably more whiter’.
Do I have To See A Dentist Before Purchasing A Teeth Whitening Kit?
If you want a professional dental strength solution for your teeth whitening Perth kit – then Yes, you do have to see a dentist before you can purchase a pro teeth-whitening kit as you have to be assessed and orally healthy to have a higher strength teeth-whitening treatment. It is better to make sure your teeth are professionally cleaned before you whiten the teeth and to check you don’t have any decay or gum disease which can affect the results. Customising the dental trays, a similar process as a custom mouthguard, is a critical step to achieve the best results from your whitening program.
Will The Whitening Solution Hurt My Teeth?
Your dentist will prescribe the correct strength tooth bleach for you so that you won’t damage your teeth or experience any pain. Also, our teeth-whitening product has special desensitising ingredients that block and calm the nerves, further ensuring there will be little to no discomfort. In the event that there is sensitivity we are happy to prescribe you medications to alleviate any discomfort.
How Much Active Ingredient Is In The KIt?
Most retail teeth whitening kits only contain 8% of the active ingredient. As a comparison, whitening toothpastes contain 2%. Our Aria Dental home whitening kits are stronger, containing around 16% carbamide peroxide.
How Long Will It Take To Get Results?
With take-home teeth-whitening, you should see results within two to four weeks.
Will I have To Repeat The Teeth Whitening Procedure?
We recommend that you repeat your course of whitening in the future, as it is likely that your teeth will continue to stain due to everyday eating and drinking, particularly if you drink a lot of tea or coffee, or smoke cigarettes.
Will My Veneers Also Change Colour?
No. Anything artificial such as veneers, composite bonding, white fillings, dental crowns or any replacement teeth will not change colour and are not suitable for teeth-whitening.
If you have any of these products or prosthetic devices, speak to your dentist about alternative options.
