Add Shine to Your Smile With Teeth Whitening in Dublin

The teeth whitening process is not painful, though some patients experience mild teeth sensitivity to hot and cold afterward. We use only the highest-quality whitening products. They are formulated to reduce sensitivity, so any discomfort will be minimal and temporary. If you do experience sensitivity, it will usually go away on its own shortly after your treatment is over.

The whitening agent in our teeth whitening systems contains oxygen molecules that interact with the discolored molecules in your teeth enamel. The discolored molecules are broken up, and your teeth are left a sparkling white. Depending on your wants and needs, we can alter the level of whitening by changing the strength of the whitening agent and how long it’s applied.

Yellow or brown discoloration caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or normal aging often responds well. Gray discoloration or stains that developed while the teeth were forming can be more stubborn. An exam can help determine whether whitening is likely to give you the result you’re hoping for.

No. Whitening products lighten natural tooth enamel, but they don’t change the shade of fillings, crowns, veneers, or bonding. If you have visible restorations, their existing color should be considered before whitening so you don’t end up with an obvious mismatch.

It varies with your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other staining foods can gradually darken teeth again. Good brushing habits and occasional touch-ups can help maintain your results. Some people go a long time between treatments, while regular coffee drinkers may want touch-ups sooner.

Often, yes. Sensitivity doesn’t automatically rule out whitening, but the strength of the product and length of treatment may need to be adjusted. Desensitizing toothpaste or a slower take-home approach can sometimes make treatment much more comfortable.

Professional products can use higher concentrations of whitening ingredients and are selected with your teeth and gums in mind. Store-bought products can still lighten teeth, but results are often slower and less predictable, especially when staining is heavier.

A natural-looking result is always the goal and usually complements your skin tone and facial features. Most people do not aim for the brightest shade possible. Many people simply want to remove years of staining and return their teeth closer to their original color.
