How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening typically involves the application of a whitening agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to the surface of the teeth. The whitening agent breaks down the stains on the teeth, allowing them to appear whiter and brighter.

How long does teeth whitening take?

The duration of teeth whitening can vary depending on the method used and the level of discoloration of the teeth. At Salt & Honey, our teeth whitening session takes about 60 minutes and in that time you will have three rounds of applying the gel and having it under the LED light, while at-home teeth whitening kits may require several applications over a period of days or weeks.

How long do the results of teeth whitening last?

The duration of teeth whitening results can vary depending on various factors, including diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices. In general, teeth whitening results can last from several months to a few years. Touch-up treatments or maintenance may be needed periodically to maintain the desired level of whiteness.

Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is generally suitable for individuals with healthy teeth and gums who wish to remove stains or discoloration from their teeth. However, not everyone may be a good candidate for teeth whitening, and it is important to consult with a dental professional to determine if teeth whitening is appropriate for you, especially if you have dental restorations, such as veneers or crowns.
