How Much Does Dental Teeth Whitening Cost
Some experts believe that the short time the mouthwash is used is not enough to actually see results. Toothpastes contain mild abrasives such as silica, aluminum oxide, calcium carbonate, and baking soda, which help remove surface stains. Whitening toothpastes do not contain bleach like professional whitening products, but they usually contain extra polishing or chemical agents that can help remove additional surface stains.
Whitening toothpastes may also be more abrasive than some dentists would recommend. Most whitening toothpastes can only get your ..read more

With in-office bleaching, the whitening product is applied directly to the teeth. These products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, or a laser. Results are seen in only one, 30- to 60-minute treatment. But to achieve dramatic results, several appointments are usually needed. However, with in-office bleaching, dramatic results can be seen after the first treatment.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. People who expose their teeth to foods and beverages that cause staining may see the whiteness start to fade in as little as one month. Those who avoid foods and beverages that st ..read more

A color can be selected to make dark teeth appear whiter. They generally don't require as much shaping as crowns do, yet they are stronger and look better. Downsides to dental veneers include: The process cannot be undone.
Veneers usually cannot be repaired if they chip or crack. Because enamel has been removed, your tooth may become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks. Veneers may not exactly match the color of your other teeth. Also, the v ..read more

Want a brighter smile? When it comes to tooth-whitening, you've got two options: in-office-based teeth bleaching, or at-home care. Both tooth-whitening options use peroxide-based bleaching agents. At-home systems contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides). In-office systems contain from 15% to 43% peroxide. Generally, the longer you keep a stronger solution on your teeth, the whiter your teeth become.
Keeping the gel on longer will dehydrate the tooth and increase tooth sensitivity. There are pros and cons to each option, but before you try at-home tooth-bleaching kits ..read more
