The translucent bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and a patented light is used to activate the crystals to absorb the energy from the light and penetrate the teeth enamel to increase the lightening effect on the teeth. The length of time in the cosmetic chair depends on the degree of discoloration you have, but 90% to 95% of your results usually occur in the first 15 minutes.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening is not a permanent procedure. Results can last for one to or more years, depending upon your personal habits. In most cases, the whitening procedure is very effective and the patient is pleased with the results.
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. A touch-up maybe needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
Reasons for tooth whitening:
•Normal wear of outer tooth layer
•Genetics (blame it on your Dad)
•Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
•Excessive use of tabacco, coffee, and other dark habits
•Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)
•Special Day!: When an event calls for a smile, be prepared
