TEETH WHITENING Q&A

What is teeth whitening, and how does it work?

Teeth whitening refers to using bleaching, UV light, or sanding to make one’s teeth appear whiter and brighter. There are two types of stains: intrinsic and extrinsic.

Intrinsic stains affect the inside of your tooth, while extrinsic stains sit on the tooth’s surface. Brushing and flossing daily can help keep your teeth bright and healthy, but teeth naturally become discolored over time.

Compared to whitening toothpaste or at-home teeth whitening kits, in-office teeth whitening is the quickest and easiest way to achieve your desired results. Dr. Ariyev uses the revolutionary GLO Science Whitening system to transform your smile into a whiter, brighter smile in just 16 minutes and without sensitivity.

What causes tooth discoloration?

Some causes of tooth stains are smoking, poor oral hygiene, tooth trauma, some medications, and eating or drinking darker foods like coffee, wine, and tea.

As we age, the outer shell of our teeth, known as enamel, begins to wear down. Below the enamel, a yellower layer, known as dentin, begins to show through, creating the appearance of yellowing teeth.

The degree of whiteness you wish to achieve will depend on the initial condition of your teeth.

Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?

The most common side effect of teeth whitening is tooth and gum sensitivity. Dr. Ariyev uses the GLO Science Whitening System specifically because it causes little to no sensitivity.

What is GLO Science Whitening?

GLO Science whitening, with GLO standing for Guided Light Optics, is a professional-strength whitening treatment available exclusively in-office through GLO Science-partnered dentists dedicated to providing their patients with the best teeth whitening technology on the market.

Using heat, blue LED light, and high-concentration whitening gel, you can obtain a beautiful bright smile over your lunch break or in between errands.

How long does tooth whitening last?

Teeth whitening is not permanent. In-office maintenance is recommended once or twice a year, depending on your lifestyle. Age, lifestyle, and desired shade all factor into your upkeep.

For the best results, Dr. Ariyev recommends that you avoid food or drinks that can stain your teeth, like coffee, tea, and wine. Call or book your appointment online today to learn about your options.
