Teeth Whitening FAQ

Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?

Teeth whitening is not permanent, as the results can gradually fade over time. The longevity of the whitening effects depends on individual habits and lifestyle choices, such as consuming staining foods or beverages and smoking. To maintain a bright smile, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, avoid habits that can stain the teeth, and consider touch-up treatments or whitening products as recommended by dental professionals.

Can Dentures be Teeth Whitened?

Traditional teeth whitening methods are not effective for whitening dentures, as the materials used in denture teeth are resistant to bleaching agents. If dentures become stained or discolored, it is best to consult with a dental professional who can recommend appropriate cleaning solutions or techniques for restoring their appearance.

Can I eat After Teeth Whitening treatment?

After a teeth whitening treatment, it is advisable to wait for 1-2 hours before eating or drinking anything to allow the whitening agents to fully take effect. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid consuming staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, or dark-colored foods immediately after the treatment to maintain the desired whitening results.

How long does it take to whiten teeth?

The time it takes to whiten teeth varies depending on the method and individual. In-office professional treatments generally take 1-2 hours for noticeable results.

Should I get a dental cleaning before teeth whitening?

It is advisable to schedule a dental cleaning prior to teeth whitening treatment. A dental cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains, allowing the whitening agents to work more effectively and provide optimal results, while also ensuring your oral health is in good condition before undergoing the whitening procedure.
