Teeth Whitening is a painless procedure, at most just a little uncomfortable. We can also perform Tooth Whitening Pittsburgh, from which a single tooth may be whitened from discoloration.

Whitening Teeth Process:
Whitening Teeth includes the use of an oxidizing agent that is applied to the teeth. After the oxidizing agent is applied, a special light may be used to help trigger the teeth whitening solution. Your teeth will need to be cleaned with a sandy, tooth-paste material that removes plaque and cleans the surface of the teeth. After your teeth are cleaned, a peroxide-based gel is applied after which a light helps trigger the teeth whitening solution.

Many gels are self-activating and others are stimulated by the use of a light. The whitening teeth method takes about an hour and a half and offers immediate results, while it may take additional sittings to reach the desired color of whitening your teeth.

Pittsburgh Teeth Whitening:
At our Pittsburgh Dental office, we can whiten your teeth during your first consultation if you choose. Most of our patients have seen results during their first visit.

Whitening Sessions:
Usually two or more sessions will be needed to complete the process. Each session is spread one week separately from the other sitting. Your teeth may become somewhat sensitive following teeth whitening therapy.

Whitening at Home:
With home bleaching, we can create a customized mouth guard that holds your bleaching gel. You will need to use your mouth guard either during the day or at night for approximately two weeks. The total time the mouth guard is used and the treatment period may vary according our recommendations to whiten your teeth.

Sensitivity after Teeth Whitening:
All kinds of bleaching gel will enhance tooth sensitivity. The tooth sensitivity will wear off after a few days. If you feel that your teeth are sensitive to a degree where it is unbearable, we recommend you pause from the teeth whitening process for a little while, and then continue with the process until your desired whitening procedure is completed.
You can also use a desensitizing toothpaste that contain potassium nitrate as the active ingredient to help with the sensitivity.

Yellow teeth will whiten faster than gray teeth. Gray teeth are more complicated to whiten and can take a few months to attain a whitening change.
