Professional dental cleaning and polishing are recommended on a regular basis, typically once a year. If teeth are left without professional cleaning for an extended period, polishing alone may not produce the desired results, and professional teeth whitening may be recommended.
- Teeth whitening is performed by applying specialized whitening agents containing a high concentration of oxygen-releasing compounds to the teeth, followed by activation using advanced light technology for a few minutes.
- Professional whitening helps restore the teeth to a brighter, more natural-looking shade and can reduce stains caused by various foods and beverages, including tea and coffee.
- The results of teeth whitening can last for an extended period with proper at-home oral care and by limiting the consumption of staining beverages such as tea and coffee.
- Some temporary sensitivity to cold foods and drinks may occur for a short period following the whitening procedure.
