What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening uses a controlled whitening agent to reduce the appearance of common extrinsic stains from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and natural discoloration. It is a cosmetic treatment and does not change the shape or alignment of teeth.
How It Works
The teeth are assessed and protected before whitening gel is applied according to protocol. The active ingredient breaks down stain molecules, helping teeth appear brighter. Existing crowns, veneers, bonding, and fillings do not whiten in the same way as natural enamel.
What to Expect
Temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. Final brightness varies with the starting shade, stain type, enamel, dental restorations, and lifestyle. Avoiding deeply pigmented foods and tobacco after treatment may help preserve results.
Who Should Wait?
Untreated cavities, gum disease, cracked teeth, significant sensitivity, pregnancy, or undiagnosed dental pain may require dental evaluation before cosmetic whitening. Whitening is not a substitute for routine dental care.
Results vary. SkinHealth may recommend clearance from a dentist when appropriate.
