Teeth whitening-bleaching is one of the aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatments in our clinic. It can be counted among the fastest and most effective ways to improve your smile.
The natural whiteness and shine of the teeth fade over time. Color changes and staining may occur due to reasons such as coffee, tea, red wine and cigarettes.
The purpose of teeth whitening is to restore your teeth to their natural white color or to give them a whiter and more aesthetic appearance than their current color. With this treatment, it is possible to achieve a bright and healthy smile.
With the developments in technology, there is a minimum risk of increased sensitivity after a professionally applied tooth whitening and your teeth will not weaken as a result of this treatment. With the use of the latest and most advanced teeth whitening equipment, both safety and long-term results can be guaranteed.
How does Professional Office Type Laser Teeth Whitening Work?
First of all, your teeth are cleaned from plaque, tartar and discoloration by cleaning and polishing (brushing) by your dentist.
Afterwards, your doctor covers your gums with a gel barrier to protect your gums. Then he/she applies the teeth whitening gel directly to the tooth surfaces and starts the whitening laser by adjusting it to illuminate all your teeth. This intense light activates the ingredients in the teeth whitening gel.
Treatment is usually completed in two to three sessions of fifteen to twenty minutes. Sessions can be done consecutively, and in some cases, a waiting period of several days between sessions may be required.
Why do You Need a Dentist for Teeth Whitening?
Because teeth whitening treatment carries the risk of damaging your teeth and gums, it is important that you trust a dentist for your treatment.
In teeth whitening; Strong chemicals are used that can penetrate the tooth. These chemicals are safe when applied professionally by a dentist, but can cause serious damage to teeth and gums if used incorrectly.
Using over-the-counter teeth whitening agents will likely be ineffective and/or harmful to your teeth. Entrusting your treatment to an unlicensed person can cause serious and permanent problems with your teeth and mouth.
What are the Situations in Which Teeth Whitening Cannot Be Applied?
Teeth whitening will only be effective on natural teeth. Whitening does not discolor dentures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges and veneers.
If the cause of the color change in the tooth is caries, trauma or the use of drugs, the results that can be obtained with teeth whitening are limited. In these and similar cases, we need to turn to alternative aesthetic-cosmetic dental treatments.
Ceramic laminated veneers, zirconium crowns, composite fillings (bonding) can be counted as alternative treatments to teeth whitening. With these restorations; we can solve complicated tooth discoloration problems that cannot be resolved with traditional teeth whitening methods.
What Are the Results of Teeth Whitening?
The permanence of a teeth whitening treatment when applied professionally by a dentist is approximately 2-3 years. However, even after this period, your teeth will be relatively whiter than they were before the treatment.
