Whitening is an aesthetic procedure that is suitable for everyone who wants to have an attractive and shining smile. The procedure is extremely affordable and has a visible effect after the first visit.
Teeth whitening is a painless procedure that restores the natural white color of your teeth. There are different options for teeth whitening – in-office, performed by your dentist, or at home, using a personal whitening kit.
In-clinic teeth whitening is a professional dental procedure performed by a dentist using a special whitening lamp. It is the fastest and most effective way to whiten teeth and usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half. This is the best option if you want almost “instant” results. The final result is evaluated after one week. In most cases, only one visit is required. Sometimes, especially for very discolored teeth, additional visits are required. You will have the opportunity to discuss this with your dentist during your visit.
Traditionally, home whitening is a continuation of in-office whitening and serves to maintain the effect for a longer period. This does not exclude its use as a stand-alone method.
The advantages are that it is a much gentler procedure and there is practically no tooth sensitivity if the instructions for use are strictly followed.
You need to know what most affects the staining of your teeth to avoid it. Therefore, here we indicate the main factors for changing the color of your teeth.
1. Daily use of coffee, carbonated drinks and wine
2. Smoking
3. Accumulation of tartar
4. Improper oral hygiene - improper teeth brushing
5. Too frequent use of mouthwash with chlorhexidine
6. Bacterial infections
7. Use of certain antibiotics in early childhood
8. Fluorosis - this is a pathological condition caused by increased fluoride intake in childhood. If you drink water with an increased concentration of fluoride for a long time (for example, bottled mineral water), fluorosis may occur. It manifests itself with the appearance of white, and subsequently brown spots on the teeth, destruction of tooth enamel, or problems with the skeleton.
To enhance and maintain the effect, a series of procedures can be performed every few months. Combining professional whitening in the office with maintenance therapy with a home professional whitening system at home is also extremely effective.
