Do you have an important event coming up? Whether you’re getting married yourself or you’re in the bridal party, you want to make sure your smile is ready for the big day. You can be certain that plenty of photos will be taken to commemorate the event. Are your teeth looking their best? 

Teeth whitening treatments can brighten your smile in time for your special event. How soon should you start whitening your teeth? What is the best teeth whitening treatment? Here’s what you need to know to achieve a winning smile. 

What is Teeth Whitening? 

Teeth whitening refers to products and treatments that remove stains from your teeth to make them look whiter. Most teeth whitening treatments contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as an active ingredient. These whitening agents remove stains and lighten the color of tooth enamel that has naturally yellowed over time. 

Types of Teeth Whitening Treatments 

• Over the counter whitening products. If you visit the pharmacy or grocery store you will see a wide variety of teeth whitening products including toothpaste, mouthwash, whitening wands and strips, and more. While these products may remove some surface stains and whiten your teeth a few shades, rarely will you experience the dramatic results you are looking for. 
• Professional in-office whitening treatments. Professional teeth whitening treatments can be applied by your dentist in a single in-office appointment. A protective barrier is placed over your gums while the whitening agent is applied and activated using a UV light. In under an hour you will have noticeably whiter teeth. 
• Professional-grade at-home whitening treatments. Professional teeth whitening treatments also come in a version that can be used at home. Your dentist will provide you with a custom tray that you wear over your teeth to apply the whitening agent, which ensures even distribution. You’ll begin to see results in a few treatments and achieve full results in about 2 weeks. 

When is the Best Time to Whiten My Teeth Before an Event? 

For best results you should begin teeth whitening treatments at least a month before your special event. Why so soon? The reason is that it may take a while to get an appointment with your dentist to receive in-office treatment, and at-home treatment kits take a few weeks to be shipped to you in many cases. 

What is the Most Effective Whitening Treatment? 

You can expect to get the most noticeable results from in-office whitening treatments. What makes this option so effective? 

• Prescription-strength active ingredient. In-office teeth whitening has the highest concentration of the active ingredient to produce results in a single application. 
• Controlled application by your dentist. To ensure natural results your dentist carefully applies the whitening agent to achieve your desired color. 
• Accelerated results from UV light. A special UV light is used to accelerate the whitening process which is only included in in-office treatment. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

Will whitening treatment make my teeth sensitive? 

Professional-grade teeth whitening is effective but gentle, minimizing sensitivity. If you do experience sensitivity following your whitening treatment, you can use sensitive toothpaste until it subsides, typically in a few weeks. 

How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last? 

The results of in-office teeth whitening treatment can last anywhere from 1-3 years. With the use of an at-home touchup kit you can keep your teeth looking white even longer.
