About Teeth Whitening

Achieving brilliantly white teeth naturally is rare, as various factors influence tooth color. Common foods and drinks like tea and coffee can stain teeth, and aging often leads to yellowing over time. For those seeking a brighter smile, professional teeth whitening is the most effective treatment available. At Professional Dental in Utah, our expert whitening services can significantly lighten your teeth, helping you achieve the radiant smile you’ve always wanted.

What Causes Tooth Staining?

A healthy white smile is on just about everybody’s wish list. There are many reasons why your teeth may darken. Some we can’t control, such as age or accidents that disrupt enamel development when we are young. Other reasons we have more influence over, such as smoking. If you are interested in whitening your teeth, your dentist will give you advice on how to best achieve your goals through treatment and lifestyle changes.

Bleaching vs. Whitening: What’s the Difference?

According to the FDA, the term “bleaching” is permitted to be used only when the teeth can be whitened beyond their natural color. This applies strictly to products that contain bleach — typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

The term “whitening” on the other hand, refers to restoring a tooth’s surface color by removing dirt and debris. So technically speaking, any product used to clean the teeth (like toothpaste) is considered a whitener.

Aspect	Bleaching	Whitening
Definition	Process that uses chemical agents to lighten teeth beyond their natural color.	Process that removes surface stains to restore teeth to their natural color.
Agents Used	Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.	Non-bleaching products like toothpaste, mouthwash, or whitening strips.
Effectiveness	Can lighten teeth by several shades, often making them whiter than their natural shade.	Removes surface stains for a cleaner, brighter appearance but does not alter the natural color of teeth.
Results	Significant, noticeable change in tooth color.	Subtle, gradual improvement in brightness.
Duration of Results	Long-lasting, especially with proper care.	Short-term, may require frequent application for maintained results.
Application	Performed by a dentist in-office, though some at-home kits are available.	Can be done at home with over-the-counter products or professionally as part of regular dental cleanings.
Potential Sensitivity	May cause tooth and gum sensitivity during or after treatment.	Generally lower risk of sensitivity.

Our advanced whitening treatment utilizes powerful bleaching agents to correct the appearance of teeth, regardless of the level of discoloration.

Frequently Asked Questions

More frequent questions about this dental service

What Does Teeth Whitening Involve?

Your dental team will be able to tell you if you are a good candidate for the treatment. During the procedure, the dental team will put a rubber shield or a gel on your gums to protect them. They will then apply the whitening product to your teeth, using a specially made tray that fits into your mouth like a mouth guard. The active ingredient in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

How Long Does It Take?

The full treatment is usually completed within 3 to 4 weeks.

How Long Will My Teeth Stay White?

The results of whitening are thought to last up to three years. However, this will vary from person to person. The results are less likely to last that long if you smoke, or eat or drink products that can stain your teeth. Ask your dental team for their opinion before you start the treatment.

What About At-Home Whitening Kits?

Home kits are cheaper but they are not always assessed for safety and tend to be more acidic. So there is a chance that these products could damage your teeth and gums. Because tooth whitening is a complicated procedure we advise that you always talk to your dentist before starting the treatment.

What about whitening toothpastes?

There are several whitening toothpastes on the market. Although they do not affect the natural colour of your teeth, they may be effective at removing staining. Therefore, they may improve the overall appearance of your teeth. Whitening toothpastes may also help the effect to last, once your teeth have been professionally whitened.
