Teeth Whitening

IS TOOTH WHITENING APPLIED TO EVERYONE?

Teeth Whitening treatment is a type of treatment preferred in young and adult patients. This application should be applied to healthy mouths. For this reason, the dentist can perform whitening procedures after removing caries, abrasions and gingival disorders. Otherwise, tooth sensitivity may develop. The patient should not use self-whitening gel without a dentist examination.

DOES THE SUCCESS OF WHITENING VARY FROM PERSON?

It is known that whitening is especially successful in people with yellow-toned teeth. The whitening rate depends on the tone of our teeth before the whitening process and varies from person to person. Therefore, we should discuss our expectations with our dentist in advance.

WHAT ARE THE TODAY'S WHITENING METHODS?

There are two different teeth whitening methods known today. The first of these is 'home type' whitening that the patient can apply on his own. The second method of teeth whitening is 'Office' type whitening performed by a physician in the clinic.

While mild and moderate discolorations can be whitened with 1-hour Office-type (2 sessions) special light instruments in dental clinics; In addition, home bleaching is recommended for advanced discoloration. In addition, household bleaches that can be applied with a thin brush can also be used.

These applications prolong the life of the whitening.
