Overview of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the process that helps teeth become whiter and brighter by using compounds combined with light energy, creating an oxidation reaction that breaks down the pigment molecules in the tooth enamel. This method helps remove plaque and stains caused by factors such as food, tobacco, coffee, or aging.

Teeth Whitening Methods

Custom teeth whitening trays

Dentist will take an impression of the teeth and create a custom-fitted whitening tray made of clear plastic that fits each person's dental arch. This tray helps hold the whitening gel close to the surface of the teeth. The patient will perform the treatment at home following the dentist's instructions.

  • The advantage of this method is its convenience, as it allows for flexible scheduling. The cost is also relatively low, ranging from 1,400,000 VND. Since the whitening gel concentration is lower, it reduces sensitivity during the whitening process.
  • The disadvantage of this method is that the process takes longer, and if not done correctly, it may affect oral health in the future.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Before whitening the teeth, the dentist will clean the tartar, restore the areas of the tooth neck that are worn and cause sensitivity, brush off any plaque, and apply protective tools for the lips and gums. After that, a whitening gel will be applied, combined with high-intensity light to perform the whitening process.

  • The advantage of this method is its effectiveness even for cases of teeth discoloration caused by fluorosis, tetracycline, and other factors.

Teeth whitening agents are only effective on natural teeth and do not work on crowns or teeth covered by other materials.

LASER TEETH WHITENING

Laser teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses laser light in combination with a whitening agent to brighten the color of teeth. This is one of the most modern and popular methods today, thanks to its ability to deliver quick and relatively safe results. The procedure is similar to traditional whitening methods; however, instead of using light from a whitening lamp, the dentist applies laser light to the teeth for a specific duration to activate and enhance the effectiveness of the whitening agent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth whitening may cause mild sensitivity in some individuals, especially those with sensitive enamel. However, this sensation is usually temporary and subsides within 1-2 days after the whitening procedure. Dentists can also apply protective gels or use desensitizing products to ensure greater comfort during the treatment.

The results of teeth whitening can last from several months to a few years, depending on your oral care habits. Avoiding staining foods such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco can help maintain a brighter smile for longer. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups also play a crucial role in preserving the whitening effects.

When performed correctly by professionals, teeth whitening is safe. Professional whitening products and techniques are thoroughly tested to ensure they do not harm tooth enamel or overall oral health. However, you should avoid using unverified whitening products and refrain from whitening your teeth at home without the guidance of a dentist.
After whitening, your teeth will be more sensitive to colorants, so it is advisable to avoid foods and drinks with dark colors such as coffee, tea, colored sodas, red wine, soy sauce, or foods containing artificial coloring. It is best to follow this diet for the first 1-2 weeks to achieve optimal whitening results.
Teeth whitening is effective for most cases of yellowing caused by food, drinks, or aging. However, for cases of staining caused by antibiotics or fluorosis, the results may not reach the desired level of whiteness. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a dentist to choose a more suitable solution, such as Veneer bonding or dental crowns.
