Does deep bleaching work?

[Dakota]

Hi

I have very stained teeth and I have tried the Britesmile teeth whitening procedure and I guess it made a slight improvement to my teeth but my teeth were still yellow after the Britesmile. So I thought maybe the deep bleaching could do better.

I would like to know if the deep bleaching method would work on very stained teeth? I guess since its a combination of power and home whitening it should work but would it work any better than Britesmile alone?

Will my teeth become very sensitive with deep bleaching? How long does it take to complete the whole procedure? Would I be able to top-up the final results after the deep bleaching procedure is finished?

Hello Dakota,

Thank you for your post.

Deep bleching usually works on very stained teeth. You will only know how well it works by having the treatment and seeing the results you can achieve. Britesmile power whitening is an effective treatment however the results achieved with britesmile alone is not as good as combination teeth whitening.

Your teeth will not become any more sensitive with deep bleaching than with britesmile. The power whitening procedure is zoom2 and takes a little over 1 hour to complete. The home whitening treatment is then started 2 days after this and is done for 2 weeks.

Yes you can top-up the combination whitening with the bleaching trays. This should be done 1 night a month for best whitening results. This will maintain your whiter and brighter smile.

Rod's Deep Bleach technique is still very new to the dental community. Not every dentist offers this service, so do your research. Expect to pay up to $1,500 for this procedure.

The system is now being sold under the name KoR Whitening Deep Bleaching.

The Deep bleach technique is so powerful, it can whiten tetracycline stained teeth and, in some occasions, even veneered teeth.

The reviews on Innovations in Tooth Bleaching: Deep Bleaching - Teeth Whitening Articles may be helpful to you in this case.

Hello Ashley,

Thank you for sharing this article. For bleaching underneath a veneer do you need to apply the whitening gel from the back of the tooth?

What if you deep bleach your tetracycline teeth for 5 weeks, they get lighter, BUT 3 days after you stop bleaching they go back to their dark color? Why is deep bleaching called permanent? Is there anyone with tetracycline teeth for whom deep bleaching did not work (long term)?

[Dr Mohsen J. Esfahani]

Thank you for your post.

No tooth bleaching process is permanent and all of them will fade in time if top-ups are not applied. I know of several patients who suffer from tetracycline staining and have tried teeth whitening first but were disappointed with the results and eventually had veneers fitted.

I have only one question. Is teeth bleaching makes your teeth weak? Is it true?

Thanks.

Thank you for your post.

There is some research that claims that teeth can lose some hardness after application of teeth whitening products. We think that teeth can restore their previous hardness after losing small amounts of enamel calcification during teeth whitening procedures.
