Teeth Whitening: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tooth Whitening?
Tooth whitening, also known as bleaching, is a process designed to lighten and remove stains from teeth. This treatment targets the enamel and dentin, brightening discolored teeth effectively.
What are the Different Methods of Teeth Whitening?
There are several teeth whitening options available:
- Over-the-Counter Whitening Kits: Easily accessible products for home use.
- Dentist-Dispensed At-Home Products: Supervised options for use at home.
- Laser Tooth Whitening: A high-tech method that speeds up whitening using lasers.
- Loaded Tray Whitening: A method involving custom trays filled with whitening gel.
- In-Office Whitening: Professional treatments administered by dentists.
Are the Whitening Effects Permanent?
No, the effects of teeth whitening are not permanent.
How Do Teeth Whitening Kits Work?
The active ingredient in whitening products is peroxide, which bleaches the enamel. Dentist-dispensed products typically contain 10% carbamide peroxide, while professional treatments use 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide. Lasers can accelerate these results.

How Long Does Each Whitening Method Take?
- In-Office Procedures: Usually require two or more visits, each lasting 30 minutes to an hour.
- At-Home and Over-the-Counter Products: May take from a few hours up to four weeks to show results.
What are the Side Effects of Tooth Whitening?
Some people experience temporary discomfort, such as gum or tooth sensitivity, which typically resolves within 1 to 3 days after treatment.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
Costs vary based on location, type of treatment, and products used. Laser or power whitening is generally more expensive than professional or home-based bleaching.
How to Care for Teeth After Whitening?
- Avoid foods and drinks that stain teeth.
- Quit smoking.
