The principal component in most of our whitening agents is carbamide peroxide (CH4N202). Upon contact with water, this white crystal releases hydrogen peroxide which helps to brighten teeth.

Bleaching is typically safe and effective, although a small percentage of patients may experience minor gum irritation or tooth sensitivity which are typically temporary and should go away once the bleaching treatment is complete.

Dental teeth bleaching is only capable of restoring the color of a person's natural teeth, for example, from grey to a lighter shade of grey. Materials like resins, silicates, and porcelains cannot be bleached to change their color as it removes the surface stains.

We suggest that you whiten your teeth before undergoing major restoration procedures (like implants, crowns, veneers, and bridges). It is not possible to alter the yellow or grey coloring of teeth, regardless of the restoration technique used.

The whiteness of your teeth can last anywhere between one and five years, depending on your lifestyles, such as how often you consume coffee and tea. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired level of whiteness. Bleaching results are usually stable, but your nutrition and lifestyle habits may dictate additional bleaching treatments. A touch-up now and again is easily done with home bleaching agents.

Customers who purchase our cosmetic teeth bleaching kits will have extra vials of bleaching gel remaining after the initial course of treatment. This can be used to maintain a bright, white smile in the future.If you consume large quantities of coffee, tea, or wine, you may need touch-ups every six months.

Customers who have already purchased a mouthguard can purchase bleaching gel vials as needed and continue to use their guard.

Typically, only 2-3 applications of re-treatment are necessary to reach the desired level of whiteness, which takes much less time than initial treatment.

First, all teeth whitening products contain peroxide, but the concentration of the peroxides varies widely. High concentrations of peroxide can cause burning of the gums and soft tissue in the mouth and throat and cause sensitivity on the teeth.

To identify the cause of the discoloration, caries, trauma (non-vital), medication (minocycline), resorption, and make sure there is no contraindication for whitening.

Patients with sensitive teeth, receding gums, or with defective restorations should consult with their dentist prior to using a tooth whitening system. Sensitivity from using a tooth whitening agent is usually temporary and disappears within 1-3 days of stopping treatment. However, we would recommend using a lower percentage of whitening gel for a shorter period of time.

Another option is to use desensitizer agent gel (potassium nitrate) before or after each whitening session. This agent works fast to alleviate discomfort in 20-30 minutes.

Yes. In-office bleaching or chairside whitening agents use much stronger concentration to deliver rapid results. Opalescence Boost is a 38% hydrogen peroxide gel that is carefully applied by a dental professional to give your teeth a dramatic “whitening boost” in less than an hour. You would then continue your whitening treatment with a take home Touch-up kit.

Typically, whitening treatment will take 7-14 days, depending on the degree of staining of the teeth, the location of the staining (enamel or dentin), and the concentration of the active ingredient in the tooth whitening gel. Yellow and brown staining will disappear fastest on about 10-14 days. Blue/gray staining could take 2-4 weeks, and tetracycline stains could take up to several months to disappear as they are usually deeply embedded within the tooth.
