Who is
suitable for teeth whitening?
Teeth
whitening treatment is mostly preferred by adults. Tooth whitening treatment
can be applied to healthy mouths. Any existing decay, abrasions, gum disorders
must be treated first.
How
many whitening methods are available?
There
are two types of methods: "At home" whitening which you can apply on
your own, and "in office" whitening done by dentists.
How
many shades whiter can my teeth get?
With
tooth whitening systems it is possible to lighten teeth up to eight shades.
However, in general, people with yellow-toned teeth get more successful results
than those with gray-toned teeth, as do younger people compared to elders.
Will
the whitening last a lifetime?
When
in-office whitening is applied, teeth will always be whiter than their former
state. However, tea, coffee, and cigarette use can cause the teeth to decolor.
It may be necessary to reinforce in office treatment with at home options to
prolong the effect.
