Whitening Methods and Their Effects
In-office (Clinical) whitening is a method that takes about 45-60 minutes in the dentist's chair, using high-concentration gel and a laser beam to achieve rapid results in a single session. In at-home whitening, transparent aligners suitable for the patient's mouth measurement are produced; the patient squeezes lower concentration gel into this aligner and applies it at home for a few hours a day for 1-2 weeks.
As long as it is done under the supervision of a dentist and with approved professional materials, the teeth whitening process does not cause structural damage to the enamel or decay the tooth. It may only cause a temporary hot/cold sensitivity that can last for a few days after the procedure.
No whitening procedure is permanent for a lifetime. The duration of the achieved whiteness varies between 1 and 3 years, depending on the patient's tea, coffee, and smoking habits. If needed, the procedure can be safely repeated in subsequent years.
