Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening uses a bleaching agent (usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to break down stains on your teeth. The oxygen molecules from the whitening agent react with the discolored molecules in your teeth, breaking the bonds that hold them together. This process effectively removes stains and lightens the color of your teeth.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed or supervised by a dentist. At Plainsboro Family Dentistry, we use FDA-approved whitening products and carefully monitor the process to ensure your safety and comfort. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few days.
With proper care, teeth whitening results can last from several months to a few years. The longevity depends on your lifestyle habits, such as consuming staining foods and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine), smoking, and your oral hygiene routine. Regular touch-ups and good dental care can help maintain your bright smile longer.
Most people with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, whitening works best on natural teeth and won't change the color of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have dental restorations in visible areas, we can discuss alternative options. We'll evaluate your oral health during a consultation to determine if whitening is right for you.
