How Effective is Teeth Whitening?
For dental patients today, teeth whitening is becoming one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services. This has been thanks to social media trends such as the Zoom Whitening Challenge. However, many patients still have questions regarding teeth whitening, namely how effective the treatment is. One of the aspects of teeth whitening that makes it so popular is its effectiveness – in-office whitening can leave teeth several shades whiter!
Your teeth may become discolored or less bright for a number of reasons, including:
- Aging
- Eating berries
- Taking certain medications
- Drinking coffee
- Eating curries
- Drinking red wine
- Smoking
- Soft drinks
- Drinking tea
Professional whitening differs from over-the-counter products namely in strength and safety. When whitening is performed under the supervision of a dental professional, clinical studies show it to be safe for teeth and gums. Teeth Whitening performed at our Brooklyn Heights dental office by Dr. Amirian and his colleagues can also provide more impressive results in less time. Such in-office teeth whitening treatments are conveniently quick compared to alternative options, especially for patients with continual tooth discoloration from coffee or tobacco who require persistent treatment to keep their teeth bright white. Additionally, at-home whitening kits can be too abrasive, causing tooth sensitivity, or aren’t effective enough.
