Teeth Whitening at Cosmodent: Your Questions Answered

Before booking a whitening treatment, most people want to know the same things: will it damage my teeth, will it hurt, and how long will it actually last? Cosmodent offers in-chair professional whitening with visible results in around 30 minutes, and here’s what’s worth knowing before you go ahead.

• Treatment: in-chair professional whitening
• Time: visible results in around 30 minutes
• Results: improvement of up to 9 shades
• Agents used: cosmetic-grade, safe and non-harmful
• Provided by: Dr André Dumas at Cosmodent, Oude Westhof, Bellville

Done correctly and supervised by a dentist, professional whitening doesn’t damage healthy enamel. That’s part of why in-chair treatment has an advantage over uncontrolled home kits: the process is monitored from start to finish, using cosmetic-grade agents at the right concentration for your teeth, rather than left to guesswork at home.

Some short-term sensitivity is a common and normal response to whitening, and it typically settles down on its own within a short time. Because treatment happens in-chair rather than through repeated at-home use, Dr Dumas can keep an eye on how your teeth are responding and adjust as needed, rather than leaving you to manage it alone.

How long whitening lasts depends largely on your habits afterward. Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking all contribute to staining returning faster, while good oral hygiene and avoiding heavy staining habits help results last longer. If your smile starts to dull again, a touch-up is a simple way to keep your results looking fresh.
