What is Teeth Whitening and How Does it Work?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental solution that improves tooth color, giving you a naturally bright, confident smile.

The procedure uses specialized compounds along with energy light to create an oxidation reaction that breaks down colored molecules within the tooth enamel. This method is highly effective at removing stains and discoloration caused by food, tobacco, coffee, or aging, helping clients achieve a whiter, more beautiful smile.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER TEETH WHITENING

Teeth whitening is an ideal choice for anyone with yellowish or discolored teeth caused by food, coffee, tea, or long-term smoking. It’s also suitable for those with mild staining from antibiotics or fluoride, helping restore a natural, bright smile and boosting confidence in social interactions.

TEETH WHITENING METHODS

At-Home Teeth Whitening

The dentist will take an impression of your teeth and create custom-fit clear plastic trays that fit snugly against your teeth. These trays hold the whitening gel in place, allowing you to whiten your teeth conveniently at home.

This method is convenient, flexible with your schedule, and has a moderate cost of about 1,400,000 VND. The gel’s lower concentration reduces sensitivity, but the whitening process takes longer and incorrect use can affect long-term dental health.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

The dentist will first clean tartar, repair worn areas, remove plaque buildup, and protect your lips and gums before the whitening procedure. Then, a whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a high-intensity light source.

This method is effective for teeth stained by tetracycline or fluoride, but it only works on natural teeth and is not effective for porcelain or other artificial materials.

OUTSTANDING BENEFITS OF TEETH WHITENING

Enhance Your Smile's Aesthetics

Teeth whitening delivers naturally brighter teeth, enhancing the beauty of your smile in a short amount of time.

Modern teeth whitening technology at dental clinics ensures safety and no damage to enamel when performed correctly.

The teeth whitening process is quick, typically completed in just 1-2 visits to the dental clinic.

Whitening results can last from 1 to 3 years with proper care.

This method is ideal for those with discolored teeth due to food, antibiotics, or lifestyle habits.

HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK?

Step 1
Examination and teeth whitening consultation
The dentist will examine your oral condition, assess the level of discoloration, and recommend the most suitable teeth whitening method based on your teeth condition and desired results.
Step 2
Oral hygiene before whitening
The dentist will perform scaling and remove plaque to prepare the tooth surface. Then comprehensive oral cleaning is done to ensure optimal teeth whitening effectiveness.
Step 3
Gum protection and gel application
A gum barrier will be placed to protect the gums from gel effects. Professional teeth whitening gel is evenly applied to the tooth surfaces that need whitening treatment.
Step 4
LED light activation of gel
Professional LED light will shine on teeth for 15-20 minutes to activate the whitening gel and adjust to ensure perfect whitening effectiveness.
Step 5
Complete the whitening process
The whitening gel will be cleaned off, results will be checked, and post-whitening care instructions will be provided to maintain long-lasting effectiveness.

FAQ ANSWER

Does Teeth Whitening Cause Pain or Sensitivity?

Teeth whitening at a dental clinic may cause mild sensitivity, especially for those with sensitive enamel, but this typically subsides within 1-2 days. Dentists at Sydney Hanoi Dental use protective gel and sensitivity-reducing products to ensure a comfortable and safe whitening experience.

The results of teeth whitening can last from 1 to 3 years, depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. To maintain a bright smile, limit coffee, tea, red wine, and maintain good oral hygiene after whitening at a reputable dental clinic.

Teeth whitening is completely safe when performed by professionals at a trusted clinic like Sydney Hanoi, using certified products that do not harm enamel. However, avoid self-whitening at home with unverified products to ensure the safety of your oral health.

After whitening, teeth are prone to staining, so avoid dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, soda, and red wine for 1-2 weeks. This diet helps maximize the results of teeth whitening at a dental clinic, keeping your smile bright for longer.

Teeth whitening is effective for teeth stained by food, drinks, or aging. However, results may be limited for teeth discolored by antibiotics or fluoride. In such cases, dentists at Sydney Hanoi may recommend solutions like porcelain veneers or cosmetic crowns for optimal results.
