Introduction: Uncovering the Astonishing Science of Teeth Whitening
Have you ever wondered how teeth whitening actually works?
As aesthetic professionals at Wellaholic, we’ve seen countless customers amazed by the results of our teeth whitening treatments. The science behind this popular cosmetic procedure is fascinating. Through our experience at Wellaholic and Laser Clinics Australia, we’ve gained deep insights into the chemical processes that transform stained teeth into dazzling smiles.
In this article, we’ll break down the science of teeth whitening in simple terms. We’ll explore how whitening agents interact with tooth enamel and explain why professional treatments can be more effective than over-the-counter options. Get ready to uncover the surprising secrets behind those pearly whites!
Understanding the Science of Teeth Whitening
We at Wellaholic have seen a growing interest in teeth whitening among our customers. As aesthetic professionals, we believe it’s important to understand the science behind this popular treatment.
Teeth whitening works through a chemical process. The active ingredient, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, breaks down into oxygen molecules. These molecules penetrate the enamel and dentin, breaking apart the compounds that cause discolouration. In our experience, about 80% of our customers see noticeable results after just one professional treatment. However, it’s crucial to note that whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. It won’t change the color of fillings, crowns, or veneers. We always advise our customers to consider this before starting any whitening treatment.
Based on a study compiled by Wellaholic, in-office teeth whitening procedures can make teeth up to 10 shades brighter in just one session.
How does Carbamide Peroxide Whiten Teeth?
We’ve seen amazing results with carbamide peroxide teeth whitening at Wellaholic. Here’s how it works: When applied to teeth, carbamide peroxide breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and urea. The hydrogen peroxide then penetrates the enamel and dentin, oxidizing stain molecules to lighten tooth color.
Our TeethWhite™ treatment uses a 35% carbamide peroxide gel. This concentration provides effective whitening while minimizing sensitivity. In our experience, about 80% of customers see a noticeable improvement after just one session. The gradual release of hydrogen peroxide allows for longer wear time and more consistent whitening compared to hydrogen peroxide alone. We always remind customers to avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours after treatment to maximize results.
Why Choose Carbamide for Teeth Whitening
Here is a table showing some of the benefits of Carbamide Peroxide for teeth whitening:
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Gradual whitening | Carbamide peroxide takes longer to release its whitening power, resulting in a more gradual and natural-looking whitening effect. |
| Reduced sensitivity | Some people experience sensitivity with hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, but PAP, which is another ingredient being used in whitening products, doesn’t release any free radicals during the oxidization process, causing no sensitivity. However, carbamide peroxide causes less sensitivity than hydrogen peroxide. |
60% of people believe that a white smile makes someone appear more attractive, according to a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry compiled by Wellaholic Research.
How Long Can Teeth Whitening Last?
Teeth whitening isn’t permanent. It can last from a few months to up to three years. This varies from person to person and depends on several factors.
The effect is less likely to last as long if you smoke or consume foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. Think coffee, tea, red wine. These are notorious for staining teeth and the effect is more likely to last longer if you steer clear of these substances.
Another factor is how well you take care of your teeth. Regular brushing and flossing can help maintain the results of your teeth whitening treatment. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can also help prolong the effects.
Conclusion & Professional Observations
In our personal experience with customers at Wellaholic, we have observed a few interesting points over the past eight years. Firstly, the desire for a brighter, more confident smile spans across all ages and genders. From young adults to seniors, both men and women have sought our teeth whitening treatments to enhance their appearance and boost their self-esteem.
Another noteworthy observation is the growing awareness of the importance of oral health in relation to overall well-being. Many of our customers have expressed that their decision to undergo teeth whitening treatment is not solely cosmetic but also a step towards improving their dental hygiene habits. We have seen a positive correlation between those who opt for regular teeth whitening treatments and those who maintain consistent oral care routines.
Furthermore, we have witnessed the transformative power of a bright smile on our customers’ lives. From job interviews to social gatherings, many have shared stories of how their newfound confidence has opened doors and created opportunities. It is truly rewarding to be a part of their journey towards self-improvement and to see the positive impact our treatments have had on their personal and professional lives.
