Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Teeth whitening is not permanent and usually requires three visits. A touch-up may be needed every several months or more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.
The whitening agent (carbamide peroxide) penetrates the enamel to reach the discolored molecules inside your tooth.
Teeth whitening is not permanent and requires maintenance. Teeth whitening can last months with proper maintenance. Those who avoid staining foods (coffee, tea, cigarettes, etc.) and substances will have longer lasting results.
No, it will not affect previously done dental work. It is not recommended to use teeth whitening kits while wearing braces to avoid uneven tooth color where the braces are placed. Keep in mind, teeth whitening will not whiten veneers, caps, crowns or dental restorations.
