Teeth Whitening

Everyone deserves the chance to have a beautiful and healthy smile

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a dental technique to help improve teeth’ color. When performing this option, the doctor will use substances that create an oxidation-reduction reaction combined with light energy to enter the enamel and cut off the chains of color molecules in the dentin. At this time, the teeth will become whiter and brighter, and the tooth structure is unaffected.

Before whitening your teeth, you need to be checked by your doctor to see if your teeth are mildly or severely discolored; If teeth are severely stained, bleaching is not effective; teeth with worn neck teeth, cracked or hypoplastic enamel, large decayed teeth should not bleach teeth because bleach will harm the tooth pulp.

Factors Affecting The Process And Results Of Teeth Whitening

+ Causes of tooth discoloration.

+ Bleaching time, the number of bleaching times, and bleach solution.

+ How much each person absorbs bleach.

Before bleaching, you need to scrape and polish to clean the tooth surface.

If the guidelines are followed, teeth whitening will not cause any harm in the long run.

We Have Two Methods To Whiten Teeth:

Teeth Whitening At Home

If you choose to whiten your teeth at home, your doctor will take an impression of your teeth to create a separate soft plastic whitening tray and instructions on how to use the medicine at home; schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor the color change in your teeth. Time to bring bleach from 1-3 weeks depending on each person’s tooth color transformation. This method gives good results but is slow.

Teeth Whitening At The Dental Office

This is a modern way of teeth whitening done in a dental clinic. The doctor will use a whitening agent combined with laser light energy to cut the bonds in the pigment on the tooth surface, making the teeth whiter.

However, many people have the wrong opinion about this method when they think doing this can cause adverse effects such as damage to the enamel, gingivitis, receding gums, and sensitive and weaker teeth. However, the British Dental Association (BDA) has researched and concluded that teeth whitening technology is safe if performed at reputable facilities.

The teeth whitening method at the dental office is indicated for cases where the teeth are heavily stained, dark yellow, or stained by tetracycline antibiotics or drugs when used at home; they do not have much effect.

Advantages Of Teeth Whitening At The Dentist

+ Get thorough and scientific advice from a specialist.

+ Teeth are whiter than at-home teeth whitening.

+ It does not need too much time to whiten teeth: only about 1-2 hours at reputable clinics.

+ Teeth whiten longer (about 3-5 years).

+ Teeth whitening is more uniform because it is done directly by the dentist.

Teeth whitening can be one of the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile.
