How Professional Teeth Whitening Works

We offer clinical strength at-home teeth whitening kits. These use custom dental trays that are made from molds of your top and bottom teeth and hold the whitening gel in place. Each clinical strength at-home whitening treatment lasts about one hour. Please be aware that a treatment regimen will need to be followed to experience the full benefits.

Common Causes of Teeth Staining

It’s perfectly natural for your teeth to discolor over time. There are several different factors that can negatively affect the whiteness and brightness of a smile. These include:

  • Foods and Beverages — One of the biggest factors in the potential staining of your teeth lies in the foods and beverages you consume. Some foods stain your teeth more than others, the most common being coffee, wine, tea, fruit juices, and soda.
  • Tobacco — Chewing and smoking tobacco are leading contributors to tooth discoloration. Tobacco can yellow your teeth and change the shade of them over time.
  • Fluorosis — Overexposer to fluoride when your teeth are still developing, causes discoloration.
  • Medications — Certain medications have side effects which cause teeth to become discolored after prolonged usage.

Teeth Whitening Aftercare

The advantages of teeth whitening treatments help you get a whiter smile, yet you must follow these simple guidelines to maintain your new smile:

  • Brush and floss twice-a-day — This prevents bacteria and plaque buildup on your teeth.
  • Avoid foods and beverages that stain — some common examples are red wine, black tea, and coffee.
  • Schedule regular dental cleanings —  regular dental cleanings and exams not only help keep your teeth white but are important in maintaining your overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Longevity depends on your daily habits—patients who limit coffee, red wine, and tobacco use tend to maintain their brighter smile longer. Regular cleanings and occasional touch-ups can help extend your results.

Yes, professional teeth whitening is considered safe when performed under the supervision of a dental professional. At OHA Dental, we use clinically approved whitening agents and customize treatment to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel and gums.

Some patients experience mild, temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening. This typically subsides within a few days. Using professional-grade products and custom trays helps reduce discomfort compared to over-the-counter options.

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates. However, whitening may not be as effective on certain types of discoloration or dental restorations like crowns or veneers. A consultation can determine the best option for you.

No, whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel. Existing dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings will not change color, so additional cosmetic options may be recommended for a uniform appearance.

To keep your smile bright:

  • Avoid staining foods and drinks when possible
  • Use a straw for dark beverages
  • Maintain good oral hygiene
  • Schedule regular dental cleanings
  • Consider occasional touch-up treatments
