How safe is teeth bleaching / whitening?
How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening/ bleaching is one of the most requested cosmetic dental procedures asked for by patients who want a more pleasing smile. This can be done either in dental clinic or at home by the patient. The main difference between bleaching at home & in the clinic is the time taken to produce the result. In the clinic the results are immediate where as at home bleaching takes longer time upto 2-3 weeks minimum.
Since the introduction of in office bleaching treatments, the use of curing lights (including halogencuring lights,plasma arches,LED,LED plus lasers,lasers) has been recommended to accelerate the action of bleaching gel.in the past ,the clinical results obtained with use of these lights were poor,showing an increase in tooth sensitivity & reduced long term color stability,especially when the treatment was done in one appointment.Recent developments introduced in the bleaching systems use a chemical catalyst combined with light cured block out materials & compounds have resulted in decreased tooth sensitivity & enhanced treatment and demonstrated improved results.
Color stability of bleaching usually lasts upto 6 months after treatment.there will be slight color relapse after 6 months.It is usually advised to have a top up treatment after that.the introduction of teeth bleaching agents have significantly lowered the sensitivity issues previously encountered.the use of loghtcured gingival dams,chemical activators & use of compounds that decrease tooth sensitivity have simplified treatment & demonstrated better results.
To promote better color stability ,the use of both in office & at home treatments has been recommended.the best treatment option would be one session of bleaching in the clinic followed by one or two sessions at home.This combination of bleaching treatments for vital& healthy teeth provides better results, because it reduces the length of treatment & lowers irritation of gingival tissues & tooth sensitivity.
