Teeth Whitening
Dentists at Bull Creek Dental, Perth, often recommend the teeth whitening process as one of the easiest ways of achieving an attractive smile. The teeth whitening treatment available at our clinic ensures that you go back with a sparkling white smile and renewed self-confidence. At times, people are also found to be using products like at-home bleaching and whitening toothpaste to get a sparkling set of teeth. However, the results don’t always match what a dentist’s expertise can provide at a teeth whitening clinic. Moreover, some teeth whitening products have been found to harm the teeth enamel. So, it is always advisable to consult a dentist before using them.
Generally, bleaches like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide used in teeth whitening products breakdown the stains, making your teeth brighter. However, as such bleaches do not work on all teeth, it is advisable to consult the teeth whitening dentist for a definite solution and undergo treatment according to the intensity of your problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the color of natural teeth, removing stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter and whiter smile.
Teeth whitening products typically contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which help break down stains on the tooth surface. These chemicals penetrate the enamel and dentin, oxidizing the stains and making the teeth appear whiter.
When performed by a dental professional or using dentist-recommended products, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. However, over-the-counter products or improper use of whitening agents can cause sensitivity or damage to the teeth and gums.
Yes, there are various methods of teeth whitening, including in-office professional whitening, take-home kits provided by dentists, and over-the-counter whitening products such as whitening strips, gels, and toothpaste.
The longevity of teeth whitening results varies depending on lifestyle habits and oral care. Generally, professional teeth whitening results can last between six months to two years, while over-the-counter products may provide shorter-term results.
Teeth whitening is more effective on extrinsic stains caused by external factors like food, beverages, and smoking. It may not work as effectively on intrinsic stains that originate from within the tooth structure or certain dental conditions.
Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after teeth whitening treatment. This sensitivity usually subsides shortly after the treatment is completed.
Teeth whitening treatments may not work on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. These restorations do not respond to whitening agents, so it's essential to consult with a dentist to ensure consistent tooth color.
Minor side effects of teeth whitening can include tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the gums. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised to avoid teeth whitening procedures, as the effects of whitening agents on the developing baby are not well understood. It's best to wait until after pregnancy or nursing to undergo teeth whitening.
