Teeth whitening is a long-lasting and effective solution to the problem of discoloured teeth. Neglecting oral care can cause teeth to darken. Some health conditions can also lead to this.
Teeth whitening is carried out with professional methods and removes this problem, making an aesthetic smile possible.
How Is Teeth Whitening Done?
Although whitening pens, strips, pastes and various mixtures are used, none of them offers a permanent solution. Incorrect applications at home can even bring many problems, let alone whiten the teeth.
Professional teeth whitening is both quick and does not harm the teeth. In outline, the treatment consists of the following stages:
- First, the teeth are cleaned and the stains on them are removed. This allows them to regain their own colour.
- If the yellowed look has still not gone, whitening treatment is applied.
- At this stage, in-office or at-home whitening methods are used. Laser is another preferred option.
At-Home Teeth Whitening (Home Bleaching)
In this method an impression of the mouth is taken. A thin, soft, transparent tray is prepared according to this impression.
A whitening gel is applied into it. The patient is asked to use it 4–6 times a day on average for 10–15 days. Whitening of the tooth tissue starts after a week of use.
In-Office Teeth Whitening (Office Bleaching)
For this, whitening agents with a high concentration are applied to the tooth surfaces. The procedure takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
UV light is used to activate the whitening agents. If laser teeth whitening is chosen, laser light is used instead of UV light.
For the result to last, the treatment needs to be repeated every 6 months or once every 12 months.
Internal Teeth Whitening (Single Tooth Whitening)
If a tooth has changed colour after root canal treatment, it is whitened with this method. The filling in the tooth is removed and a whitening gel is applied.
The tooth is closed with a temporary filling. The sessions are repeated until the desired colour is reached.
Teeth Whitening Prices
Teeth whitening price options depend on the quality, type and properties of the material used and the degree of discolouration. The number of sessions is also a factor in determining the price.
