A radiant smile can transform your appearance and boost your confidence. Over time, however, teeth can lose their natural brightness due to aging, lifestyle habits, or dietary choices. That’s where teeth whitening steps in—an easy and effective cosmetic dental treatment to restore the sparkle in your smile.
At Evolve Dental Clinic, we specialize in safe, advanced teeth whitening treatments that deliver visible results with minimal sensitivity. Here’s everything you need to know before brightening your smile.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains or discoloration. It involves the use of bleaching agents—most commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide—to break down stain molecules and restore the natural whiteness of your teeth.
Why Do Teeth Get Discolored?
Several factors contribute to tooth staining:
- Foods and Drinks: Coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and colas.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause yellowing.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Infrequent brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup.
- Aging: As enamel wears down, the yellowish dentin underneath becomes visible.
- Medications: Certain antibiotics and antihistamines can darken teeth over time.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, when performed under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe and effective. At Evolve Dental Clinic, we use industry-approved materials and methods to ensure:

How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene. Avoiding stain-causing foods and regular dental cleanings can help maintain your brighter smile for longer.
Post-Whitening Care Tips
- Avoid coffee, tea, and red wine for at least 48 hours post-treatment
- Use a straw when drinking colored beverages
- Rinse after eating acidic or pigmented foods
- Quit smoking
- Use whitening toothpaste to maintain brightness
- Schedule regular cleanings with your dentist
FAQs About Teeth Whitening
- Will it make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may feel slight sensitivity, but it usually fades within a few days.
- Can everyone get their teeth whitened?
Whitening works best for natural teeth. Crowns, veneers, or fillings won’t respond to bleaching agents.
- Is one session enough?
In-office whitening often shows results in one visit. However, some patients may need a second session for optimal brightness.
