Are There Side Effects From Teeth Whitening?

There are new teeth whitening products released on the market constantly. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know which product is best for you, and even more difficult to know if teeth whitening is safe. It’s important to remember that like any other cosmetic procedure, you should always consult with a professional before taking any risks with your smile.

Teeth whitening is a process by which stains are removed from teeth to leave them looking whiter and brighter.

Teeth whitening is not a permanent solution; it’s just an improvement over the appearance of your teeth, as they will continue to yellow over time. Most over-the-counter kits will not replicate the results achieved in a dentist’s office. At Marx Family Dental, we pride ourselves on using the latest whitening technology in home kits and in-office.

There are a couple of options for teeth whitening.

There are a couple of options for teeth whitening. In-office whitening is the most common method. This procedure requires your dentist to apply a bleaching agent to your teeth and then expose them to ultraviolet light—a process that can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Our practice uses Zoom!®, a professional teeth whitening treatment that gets your teeth an average of eight shades whiter — in just one hour. The results are immediate and visible, meaning you’ll leave the office with a sparkling bright smile!

At-home whitening is a good option if you travel frequently or do not have time to visit our office. We offer a range of personally-fit mouthguards and bleaching gels to lighten your teeth between four to six shades in two weeks or less. The minimum requirements for at-home whitening are that you have decay-free teeth and perfectly healthy gums in order to use the bleaching gel.
