How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens teeth and helps remove stains and discoloration. The process involves the application of a whitening agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the enamel to reach the discolored molecules inside the teeth. The oxygen molecules from the whitening agent react with the discolored molecules, breaking the bonds that hold them together. This reaction lifts the stains and results in a brighter, whiter smile. Our professional treatments ensure that this process is both safe and effective, minimizing sensitivity and maximizing results.
Types of Teeth Stains
Extrinsic Stains:
These stains affect the outer layer of the tooth (the enamel) and are usually caused by external factors such as:
- Food and beverages (e.g., coffee, tea, red wine, and berries)
- Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
- Poor dental hygiene
- Location: Affect the outer layer of the tooth (the enamel).
- Causes: External factors such as food and beverages (coffee, tea, red wine), tobacco use, and poor dental hygiene.
- Appearance: Typically yellow, brown, or black stains that can be removed more easily with regular dental cleanings and whitening treatments.
- Treatment: Can often be treated effectively with professional teeth whitening and good oral hygiene practices.
Intrinsic Stains:
These stains occur within the inner structure of the tooth (the dentin) and can be caused by:
- Aging, which can cause the dentin to darken and the enamel to thin
- Trauma or injury to the tooth
- Excessive fluoride exposure during childhood
- Use of certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, during tooth development
- Location: Occur within the inner structure of the tooth (the dentin).
- Causes: Aging, trauma, excessive fluoride exposure, and certain medications (e.g., tetracycline antibiotics).
- Appearance: These stains can appear grayish or brownish and are more challenging to remove with surface whitening treatments.
- Treatment: Often require more intensive whitening procedures, such as professional bleaching, veneers, or bonding.
What Kind of Stains Can Teeth Whitening Remove?
Teeth whitening is highly effective in removing extrinsic stains, which are caused by external factors such as food, beverages, and tobacco. Common culprits like coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can leave yellow or brown discoloration on the surface of the teeth. Professional teeth whitening treatments can penetrate the enamel to break down and lift these stains, restoring the natural brightness of your smile. While intrinsic stains, which are deeper within the tooth, may require more specialized treatments, extrinsic stains typically respond well to whitening, leaving you with a noticeably whiter and more radiant smile.
Understanding the type of stain is essential for determining the most effective treatment plan to achieve a radiant smile.

Our Whitening Process at IIOCO
At IIOCO, we follow a comprehensive and meticulous teeth whitening process to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction. Here’s what you can expect during your professional teeth whitening treatment:
Step 1: Consultation and Decision
Your journey to a brighter smile begins with an initial consultation. During this visit, our dental professionals will assess your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and determine if teeth whitening is the right option for you. We will then decide on the best course of action specific to your needs.
Step 2: Scheduling the Appointment
Once the treatment plan is established, we will schedule your appointment for the whitening procedure at a time that is convenient for you. Teeth whitening procedure usually takes one hour.
Step 3: Initial Cleaning and Polishing
Before applying the whitening gel, we perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth to remove any plaque and tartar buildup. This ensures that the whitening agent can penetrate the enamel more effectively. We then polish your teeth to create a smooth surface. If excessive bleeding occurs during the cleaning, we may schedule a follow-up visit to allow your gums to heal before proceeding with the whitening treatment.
Step 4: Eye Protection
For your safety and comfort, we provide protective glasses to shield your eyes from the blue light used during the teeth whitening process.
Step 5: Application of Gum Barrier
To protect your gums from irritation during the whitening process, a protective gum barrier is carefully applied. This ensures that the whitening gel only comes into contact with your teeth.
Step 6: Application of Whitening Gel
We use high-quality whitening gel that is carefully applied to your teeth. The gel penetrates the enamel to break down and remove stains.
Step 7: Cleaning of Whitening Gel
After the whitening gel has been applied for the recommended time, it is thoroughly cleaned off your teeth.
Step 8: Inspection and Reapplication if Necessary
We inspect the results to determine if the desired level of whiteness has been achieved. If necessary, the whitening gel application process (Step 6) is repeated.
Step 9: Removal of Gum Barrier
Once the whitening process is complete, the protective gum barrier is carefully removed.
Step 10: Check for Gum Soreness
We check your gums for any signs of soreness or irritation that may have occurred due to the whitening gel.
Step 11: Application of Vitamin E Gel
If any gum irritation is present, we apply Vitamin E gel to soothe and protect the gums.
Step 12: Post-Treatment Care Instructions
Once your whitening treatment is complete, we provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help maintain your new, bright smile. This includes advice on dietary choices, oral hygiene practices, and recommendations for touch-up treatments if needed.
