How is professional whitening planned after checking your mouth?
Professional whitening uses a peroxide-based gel selected and applied under dental supervision after checking the teeth and gums.
Why do natural teeth whiten while restorations keep their colour?
Whitening lightens natural tooth structure by an oxidation reaction involving peroxide, while fillings, crowns, veneers and bonding retain their original material colour. The dentist first checks for decay, cracks, gum inflammation, exposed dentine and mismatched restorations.
What does a professional whitening appointment usually involve?
The clinical visit may include shade assessment, isolation of the gums, controlled gel application and post-treatment instructions; custom trays are another route. Treat active disease first and discuss sensitivity management before whitening.
When should tooth pain or a dark tooth be checked first?
See a dentist before whitening if teeth hurt, gums bleed, a tooth has a dark single-tooth stain or restorations are visible in the smile. Pain after treatment that persists or worsens needs review.
What should you ask about stains, restorations, and sensitivity?
Ask which stains can respond, whether restorations will match afterward, what gel concentration and tray or in-office method are proposed, and how sensitivity or gum contact will be managed.
