A brighter smile is one of the most common cosmetic desires. Teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed by a trained dental professional. At Dental Greetings, we offer two types of teeth whitening to help you achieve the radiant smile you’ve always wanted.
External teeth whitening is designed for vital teeth. At Dental Greetings, we use a take-home whitening pack. Here’s how it works:
We take impressions of your teeth to create custom-made bleaching trays.
The pack includes bleaching gels that you apply to the trays.
You can control the level of whitening by adjusting the frequency and duration of use.
This method is highly effective on teeth with a yellow undertone but less effective on teeth with a grey undertone. It does not work on non-vital teeth or teeth with previous trauma.
Internal teeth whitening is for non-vital teeth that have been root canal treated, which often appear greyish. Here’s the process:
A small opening is made at the back of the tooth, usually the same passage as the previous root canal treatment.
Whitening gel is placed inside the tooth.
The opening is sealed again, and the process may need to be repeated depending on the tooth’s response.
Teeth whitening does not bleach fillings or other restorative materials. If you have any restorative work such as fillings, crowns, or veneers, they may need to be replaced to match the new shade of your whitened teeth. Our dental professionals will discuss this with you during your consultation to ensure a uniform and natural-looking result.
The results of teeth whitening can last several months to a year, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Avoiding foods and drinks that can stain your teeth will help maintain the results longer.
Yes, teeth whitening is safe when performed by a trained dental professional. Our procedures are designed to protect your teeth and gums while achieving the best possible results.
Teeth with a yellow undertone respond best to whitening treatments. Teeth with a grey undertone or those that have had trauma may not respond as well. Non-vital teeth require internal whitening.
Results from take-home whitening kits can typically be seen within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the frequency and duration of use.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity after teeth whitening. This is usually mild and subsides shortly after the treatment.
Teeth whitening does not affect fillings or crowns. If you have restorative work, you may need to replace those to match the new shade of your whitened teeth. Our dentist will discuss this with you during your consultation.
