For dazzling smiles quickly and easily
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic and dental procedure that involves removing stains and pigments from the surface of teeth for a brighter and whiter smile. Over time, teeth can become discolored due to various factors such as age, dietary habits, smoking, and certain medications. Teeth whitening solutions aim to reverse this discoloration, restoring the natural brightness of teeth.

Step by Step
Step 1
Schedule an appointment with a The Antiagers dentist to discuss your goals and assess your suitability for a teeth whitening solution.
The Antiagers dentist will make sure your teeth and gums are healthy, addressing any underlying dental problems, such as cavities or gum disease before proceeding with whitening.
Discuss your teeth whitening options with your dentist, including in-office solutions and at-home whitening kits.
Step 2
The dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and free of any problems that may affect the whitening process.
A protective barrier or gel can be applied to the gums to protect them from the whitening agent.
The dentist will apply a highly concentrated whitening gel to the surface of your teeth and may use a special light or laser to activate the whitening agent.
The whitening gel is left on the teeth for a set amount of time, usually around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the whitening method used.
After the specified time has passed, the whitening gel is removed and the teeth are rinsed thoroughly.
Step 3
- If you are continuing with home whitening, you will receive a kit from your dentist, along with professional-quality whitening gel and custom-made trays made at The Antiagers clinic.
- Follow your dentist's instructions for applying the whitening gel to the tray and placing it over your teeth.
- Wear the mouthguard for the prescribed duration, usually a few hours each day or overnight, as recommended by your dentist.
- Repeat the process daily for the intended solution period, usually one to two weeks, until you achieve the desired level of whitening.
- Watch for any signs of tooth sensitivity or gum irritation and consult your dentist if problems arise.
Step 4
Avoid consuming foods and drinks that may stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces, immediately after whitening.
Follow good oral hygiene habits, including regular brushing and flossing, to maintain the results of the whitening solution.
Keep appointments with The Antiagers dentist as recommended to monitor the effectiveness of the whitening and address any concerns or problems that may arise.
What you need to know:
Why would someone bleach?
A bright, white smile can significantly improve your overall appearance and boost your confidence levels. Many people have low self-confidence due to the color of their teeth, especially if they have visible stains or discoloration. Teeth whitening provides a non-invasive solution to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth, resulting in a more attractive smile.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening solutions work by using bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stains and discoloration on the surface of teeth. These bleaching agents penetrate the enamel (the outer layer of the tooth) and react with the discolored molecules, causing them to break down and become less visible. This process effectively lightens the overall color of the teeth, resulting in a brighter smile. Depending on the method used, teeth whitening solutions can be applied directly to the teeth as a gel or administered using specially designed trays.
How long does the process take?
The duration of teeth whitening results can vary depending on a number of factors, including an individual’s oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle factors. In general, the results of teeth whitening solutions are not permanent, and whitening results may gradually diminish over time. However, with proper maintenance, teeth whitening results can be prolonged. Many individuals choose periodic solutions to maintain the brightness of their smile, typically every 6 to 12 months. Practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning, can help maintain the results of teeth whitening solutions for longer periods.

Things to watch out for before, during and after teeth whitening
Before undergoing a teeth whitening solution, it is important to consult with a qualified The Antiagers dentist to assess your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
People with underlying dental problems, such as gum disease or tooth decay, will need to be addressed before proceeding with teeth whitening.
Furthermore, it is essential to carefully follow the recommendations and instructions of The Antiagers dentist both during and after the whitening procedure to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of side effects.
This may include avoiding certain foods and drinks that may stain teeth, practicing good oral hygiene habits, and following up as recommended by your dentist. It is also important to be aware of possible completely reversible and harmless side effects (for example, tooth sensitivity or gum irritation) which are completely reversible, harmless, and go away after 2-3 days.
You should inform your dentist if you experience any discomfort or side effects during or after the solution. Overall, proper care and maintenance before, during, and after teeth whitening can help maximize the effectiveness of the solution and ensure long-lasting results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best teeth whitening method?
In-office whitening provides the fastest way to whiten teeth, however, the combination method of 1 in-office session followed by 7-9 days of at-home whitening has been proven to have the best results and the longest lasting results.
In-office whitening involves applying the whitening product directly to the teeth, with the gums previously covered by the dentist to protect them. These products can be used in combination with heat, a special light, or a laser. Results are usually seen in just one session, lasting 30 to 60 minutes.
Can yellow teeth become white?
The Antiagers cosmetic dentist can offer a solution that penetrates deep into the enamel and removes years of stains with a powerful whitening agent.
Who is not recommended for teeth whitening?
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women.
- People who have restorations such as fillings, implants, crowns and dental bridges, can, if they wish, simply whiten afterwards, depending on the result of the whitening, fillings or prosthetic works (cases, bridges) should be replaced when they are in the anterior aesthetic zone. The whitening agent can only whiten dental tissue and therefore has no effect on fillings or prosthetic works.
- Children under 16 years of age.
- Patients with periodontal disease, tooth decay and exposed roots, in whom whitening will be performed AFTER treating these problems.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
With proper care and precautions, patients should not experience any pain during teeth whitening procedures. In some cases, mild tooth sensitivity, which resolves completely after 2-3 days, or gum irritation may occur.
How long does teeth whitening last?
With proper care, your new smile can last for 8-12 months. A single session can last from 40 minutes to an hour. The procedure requires the application of a specially formulated gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to whiten the teeth.
