What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that bleaches teeth to make them lighter. Each person has unique needs. So, there is no one-fits-all teeth-whitening procedure or bleaching agent. Dr. Arora will analyze the colour and shade of your teeth using advanced imaging tools and create a customized teeth-whitening treatment to meet your unique needs. With these insights, your dentist can combine different options to deliver the best before-and-after results.

How to Whiten Teeth​

There are other ways to whiten your teeth. You can use home remedies, over-the-counter whitening toothpaste, at-home teeth bleaching systems, or professional teeth whitening solutions.

Hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening. One of the most affordable ways to whiten teeth at home is hydrogen peroxide. This bleaching agent is the main ingredient from most tooth-whitening products. You can use hydrogen peroxide as a rinse by mixing it with water.

Whitening toothpaste. Over-the-counter whitening toothpaste only removes surface stains. But yellowing goes beyond the tooth's surface. Strips are also ineffective for teeth whitening.

At-home teeth whitening. You can use at-home peroxide-based systems, which contain 3%-20% peroxide. However, at-home teeth bleaching systems come with several risks. For starters, home-based kits can erode tooth enamel and burn your gums.

Professional teeth whitening. Unlike DIY remedies and at-home systems, in-office whitening treatments are targeted and optimized to deliver the best results. Professional teeth whitening goes beyond soaking your teeth in bleaching agents. Dental clinics like AroraDental offer the best teeth whitening without the risks.

To get whiter teeth quickly and safely, seek professional teeth bleaching.

What teeth-whitening do dentists use?

Innovative clinics like Arora Dental combine several strategies to deliver whiter teeth quicker than home bleaching. Here are four teeth-bleaching solutions used by dentists:

Peroxide-based systems. Professional teeth whitening in Brantford use in-office treatments with 15% to 43% peroxide. In-office teeth bleaching supervised by a professional is safer, quicker, and more predictable. It delivers the best results consistently.

Teeth-whitening gels. Your dentist will create a customized mouth guard, which you'll use to apply a teeth-whitening gel on your teeth at home. Bleaching gels can shorten the whitening process from several weeks to a few days.

Laser teeth whitening. This solution paints your teeth with a bleaching agent. Then a laser beam is directed to the agent, catalyzing a chemical reaction that removes stains and discolouration from the teeth. It can lighten and whiten your teeth quicker than traditional systems.

Karisma teeth whitening. Like laser whitening, Karisma uses light and bleaching agents to lighten teeth. Your dentist applies the Karisma carbamide peroxide gel on your teeth. Light from the Karisma lamp is directed to the gel on your teeth. It activates a teeth-whitening chemical reaction, which bleaches and lightens your teeth. This procedure takes around 20 minutes and it is increasingly popular due to its effectiveness.

What is the best teeth whitening method?

Some people believe that home remedies can whiten your teeth in 3 minutes. But there is no evidence to support these assertions. In most cases, baking soda and homemade toothpaste will only make your teeth a shade or two lighter. Even though hydrogen peroxide teeth bleaching has a proven track record, it comes with its own risks. Concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions can cause damage to your teeth. If you’re using peroxide teeth whitening at home, it is likely that you’re applying it too many times or leaving it in your mouth for longer than recommended. All these factors increase the risk of tooth sensitivity and damage to the protective enamel of teeth. In-office systems, Laser, and Karisma also use carbamide peroxide. But the entire procedure is monitored by professionals. If you want white teeth in one day, Laser and Karisma are the fastest methods to lighten your teeth.

Can you whiten yellow teeth?

Yes, you can! Dental clinics using targeted whitening treatments like Karisma, Laser, and peroxide-based systems can whiten yellow teeth. You can also borrow a leaf from your favorite actor or TV host. So, how do celebrities get their teeth so white? Most celebrities don’t actually whiten their teeth. Their dentists cover up discolouration, cracks, chips, and other flaws using dental crowns and porcelain veneers. These custom-made caps and shells are placed on the surface of teeth and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth. The best porcelain crowns and veneers in Brantford can give you perfectly shaped pearly whites in a few hours.

How much does it cost to get your teeth whitened by a dentist?

The average cost of in-office teeth whitening in Canada ranges from $400-$600. Karisma teeth whitening in Brantford is a perfect way to achieve the perfect white teeth you have been looking for. But is professional teeth whitening worth it? Yes. Dentists can get rid of yellow stains and make your teeth whiter. The outcome is worth every penny!
