What is Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses bleaching agents (usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to remove stains and discoloration from teeth. In-office treatments provide faster, more dramatic results than over-the-counter products because professionals can use higher concentrations of whitening agents safely.
Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or just want a brighter smile, professional whitening can lighten teeth by several shades in just one visit.
How It Works
The whitening agent penetrates the tooth enamel and breaks down stain compounds through oxidation. In-office treatments often use special lights or lasers to accelerate the process. The oxygen molecules from the whitening agent spread throughout the tooth, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth remains unchanged.
Ideal Candidates
Good candidates have healthy teeth and gums without untreated cavities or gum disease. Whitening works best on yellow-toned stains from food, drinks, or age. It's less effective on gray tones, tetracycline stains, or fluorosis. Crowns, veneers, and fillings will not whiten.

Frequently Asked Questions
Results vary based on your starting shade and the cause of discoloration. Most people can expect teeth to lighten 2-8 shades. Your provider can give you a realistic expectation based on your specific situation.
Yes, when performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening is safe. The main side effect is temporary sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few days. Professional supervision ensures the right concentration is used for your teeth.
Results typically last 6-12 months, depending on your diet and habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can cause faster staining. Touch-up treatments or at-home maintenance trays can extend results.
No, whitening agents only work on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, fillings, and bonding will not change color. If you have restorations, discuss options with your dentist to ensure even coloring.
Professional treatments use higher concentrations of whitening agents (up to 40% vs 10% in store products) applied under controlled conditions. This means faster, more dramatic results with less risk of gum irritation or uneven whitening.
Most people experience no pain during the procedure. Some experience temporary sensitivity to hot and cold for a day or two afterward. Those with naturally sensitive teeth may experience more discomfort, but this is manageable.
