• Your smile is one of the first things that people

  about sharing it with the world.

• or yellow teeth are causing you to hide your
  smile, it is time to act.

5

• Teeth whitening has become one of the most
  popularly requested dental treatments today.

6

• Knowing the answers to these top questions asked
  by patients will help you begin brightening your
  smile today.

7
WHAT TYPES OF TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS ARE
AVAILABLE?
8

• Advertisements and grocery store shelves are
  lined with products claiming that they will
  whiten your teeth.

9

• Whitening strips, toothpastes
• and gel trays are all available
• over-the-counter.
• Yet they tend to be less effective than the
  options offered by dentists.

10

• Chairside whitening is the most effective method
  available. It involves a dental professional
  carefully polishing the teeth before applying
  whitening gel.

11

• Depending upon the type of gel that is used, a
  special light may then be included in the
  treatment to increase the whitening effect.

12
WILL WHITENING HURT MY ENAMEL?
13

• Current research shows that whitening treatments
  do not harm the enamel of your teeth.

14

• However, these studies were done in a
  professional environment using products
  containing only 10 percent of a bleaching
  solution.

15

• Choosing to have your teeth whitened
  professionally rather than using at-home products
  reduces the chances of causing damage to your
  teeth and gums.

16
DOES IT CAUSE SENSITIVITY?
17

• Some patients experience temporary sensitivity
  after whitening treatments. Other patients never
  notice a thing.

18

• For most people, the sensitivity is gone within
  48 hours. If you find that your teeth are
  sensitive after tooth whitening

19

• you can ease discomfort by using special
  toothpaste or going longer between treatments.

20
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET TEETH REALLY WHITE?
21

• Professional treatments can whiten teeth in less
  than an hour.
• However, people with severely stained teeth may
  need more than one treatment to get their teeth
  to their brightest shade.

22

• Other types of treatments may take several weeks
  to get your teeth white.
• The length of time for whitening depends upon
  many factors.

23

• They include your natural tooth color, your
  lifestyle habits and the type of treatment option
  that you choose.

24
CAN I WHITEN RESTORATIONS?
25

• Only natural teeth can be whitened.

This means that fillings, crowns and bridges will
remain the same when you use one of these
treatments.
26

• When these are in a visible location, it is
  important to work with your dentist to determine
  how a whitening treatment will affect your smile.

27

• In some cases, whitening will return the rest of
  your teeth to a color that matches your
  restorations.

28

• In other cases, you may need to have your
  restorations replaced at the same time you whiten
  your teeth.

29
WILL MY TEETH STAY WHITE?
30

• You can usually expect your teeth to stay white
  for anywhere from six months to two years.
• However, this all depends upon your lifestyle
  habits.

as coffee and red wine may notice their teeth
changing colors within as little as three months.
