Teeth Whitening

What Does the Whitening Procedure Include?

The active ingredient in the product is Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide. These substances can be applied both by the dentist (Office Whitening) and by the patients (Home Whitening). The oxygen released by the chemical destruction of the active substance in the application penetrates into the enamel layer of the tooth, allowing the tooth to acquire a lighter color. We recommend a combination of both office and home bleaching for maximum results.

 

How Long Does the Whitening Procedure Take?

First, the dentist takes impressions to obtain the model. In the following appointment, it is delivered to the patient after explaining how to use it, together with a specially prepared transparent plaque whitening agent. Satisfactory results are obtained in a maximum of one week. In office type whitening, excellent results are obtained with the latest technology bleaching device within 45 minutes.

When Whitening May Not Work?

Whitening only brightens the color of existing teeth. Lamina Veneers or full ceramic zirconia veneers are also different options for conversion to a specially chosen color. Whitening is only functional on natural teeth. It is ineffective on set teeth, palatal teeth, veneers or laminates.

 

What Are the Teeth Whitening Requirements?

It is a procedure that is easily performed by simply applying radiation to the tooth surface, without any abrasion from the surface of the teeth.

 

Are Baton Teeth White As Pearl?

No. Many teeth have a slightly yellowish color. Some are more beige, few are exactly white. As the age progresses, the teeth become darker and their surfaces become stained by exposure to food containing colorants, beverages such as tea, coffee and cola. Some teeth may have internal discoloration due to antibiotic use or very small fractures.

 

What are the Considerations for Teeth Whitening?

Patient motivation is very important, both for offs and at home bleaching. You should act in line with the directives your dentist recommends to patients and come to follow-up appointments completely. You should avoid tea, coffee, smoking and meals containing coloring agents. You should act in cooperation with your dentist so that the long-term reversal of whitening does not cause worse results.

 

Will I be happy with the result of teeth whitening?

Treatment results vary according to the original colors of natural teeth. Teeth may tend to darken over time. The effect of whitening ends in one to two years. This period may increase depending on the oral hygiene of the patients. In the first days of whitening, patients may complain of widespread tooth sensitivity. This situation will pass in a short time. Your dentist can treat your sensitivity by applying a desensitizing gel, if necessary.
