Frequently Asked Questions
All your teeth whitening questions asked and answeredIs Teeth Whitening for me?
Do you dream of having a celebrity smile, and wish that your teeth were pearly white? Then the answer is definitely yes! Teeth whitening is for you. Over the years our teeth start to discolour and yellow, and no amount of teeth brushing can change this. Everything from the food that you eat to your morning coffee can have an affect on your smile and stain your teeth.
Sure, brushing your teeth is essential for you to maintain good oral hygiene and to prevent any mouth disease and plaque build up, but brushing your teeth alone won't be able to guarantee that you'll always have a brilliant white smile. And that's where teeth whitening comes in.
There are just so many people out there that are ashamed of their teeth, and avoid smiling altogether. This can not only lead to a lack of self confidence, but it will often cause self esteem problems too. But, this doesn't have to be the case, with a simple, quick and easy procedure you could have the teeth you've always wanted. For many, teeth whitening has helped to re-build their confidence, and helped them to feel like it's okay to smile again and show off their teeth.
But it's not just your confidence that you could build on. Whiter teeth help many to feel much more attractive, as well as helping them appear younger too. Yellow and stained teeth are often associated with old age, so the whiter your teeth, the younger you'll look and feel.
Teeth whitening will also help you out with your dental hygiene too. The procedure can actually help your gums stay nice and healthy, as well as helping you to maintain fresher breath for longer.
The fact of the matter is... some people seem to have naturally white teeth whilst others appear yellow and stained. This unfortunately is the result of genetics, and there's not too much you can do about it. So, if you're one of the unlucky ones, and you don't use teeth whitening you could be stuck with those yellow stained teeth for good.
Why are my teeth so yellow and stained?
Genetics play a big part in the colour of your teeth. Some lucky people will be blessed with gorgeous white teeth, whilst others have to live with a yellow stained smile.
But, it's not just your genes that will determine the whiteness of your smile. The foods you eat will have a big effect on your teeth too. There are a wide variety of foods and that will cause discolouration to the teeth and cause them to look more yellow or grey in colour. You also need to carefully watch what you're drinking if you want to keep a nice white smile for longer. Coffee and tea are two of the biggest culprits, along with red wine.
Bad oral hygiene can also contribute to the discolouration of your teeth. Brushing your teeth regularly, and maintain good oral hygiene won't help to whiten your teeth, but it can certainly reduce the effects of any discolouration, whilst keeping your mouth and gums in tip top condition.
What are the different types of teeth whitening procedures?
There are two main routes that you can take when it comes to teeth whitening. The first batch procedures are those that you can do at home yourself, and they consist of -
1) Whitening kits
2) Whitening stripes and Brush on whiteners
3) Whitening pastes and gels
These Do It Yourself techniques are generally recommended to those with milder teeth staining and discolouration. These home teeth whitening kits can be extremely effective and will produce excellent results, but they won't guarantee a celebrity smile every time. You can expect to lighten your teeth a few shades, but you're unlikely to be able to get the same results you would from a more expensive professional procedure. These very affordable treatments can be carried out at home, and most are extremely quick and easy to use.
If you're looking for the very best results, no matter the cost, then you may wish to consider professional teeth whitening. Although these kinds of procedures are a little more costly than the DIY options, they will guarantee that you walk away with a pearly white smile every single time. The most popular types of professional treatments available at the moment are -
1) Light Treatments - Laser & LED bleaching
2) Custom made home whitening kits
3) Non-light bleaching & Deep bleaching techniques
Hydrogen peroxide is often the key ingredient for most professional based procedures. The more gentle Carbamide peroxide is primarily used in the home or DIY kits as this peroxide can be safely used by non-dental professionals.
What is Laser and LED teeth whitening?
Dentists have found that adding light and lasers to the teeth whitening process can produce far superior results to just bleaching alone. For this reason, LED and laser teeth whitening is quickly growing popularity, and becoming the no.1 choice for those that want the perfect whiter than white smile.
The laser and the LED light techniques are pretty similar in application and like most teeth whitening techniques, both the LED and laser procedures use a bleach based solution to achieve tooth whitening. A peroxide based gel is applied to the teeth, then the light or laser is beamed onto the teeth. With this quick technique you can improve the colour of your teeth anything up to 10 whole shades lighter.
These types of procedures will only take around an hour, and unlike most other whitening techniques, the results are visible straight away. More and more people are popping out in their lunch breaks to have this treatment option for the fact that it's just so quick, easy and effective.
How long does teeth whitening usually last?
People are often concerned that their teeth whitening will be temporary, and that their teeth will return to the old darker colour in no time at all. Well, I'm pleased to tell that this isn't the case. Yes, your whitening will fade over time, but it's very unlikely that your teeth will ever return to the original dark shade they were before your whitening treatment. The key to keeping your new teeth whiter for longer is to cut out all those things that made your teeth dark and stained in the very first place. Beverages like tea, coffee and red wines are among the very worst offenders, so you'll want to cut down or cut these out of your diet for good.
Smoking is one of the biggest no nos when it comes to keeping your newly whitened teeth bright. So, if you want to keep your nashers pearly white for longer, then the cigarettes have to go. Many smokers find that they will need tops ups from time to time to help counter the effects and staining from smoking.
For most non-smokers a single teeth whitening will last anything up to 7 years. After that time you may see some slight discolouration, but they certainly won't be as bad as your teeth were before the treatment. After this time, simply book yourself in for another session and you'll be able to have that amazing white smile for another 7 years.
