BLEACHING (TEETH WHITENING)

BLEACHING (TEETH WHITENING)

Bleaching is one of the fastest whitening techniques in the world for people who want a whiter smile in a very short amount of time. A high concentration of whitening gel is delivered to the teeth and activated with a high-intensity blue light. By the end of the examination, you will notice a noticeable change in the color of your teeth. It is important to remember that a teeth whitening procedure restores the original white color of your teeth. In most cases, two sessions of up to 40 minutes are required for the best results.

Aesthetic tooth whitening is a very gentle method compared to other treatments. Because the integrity of your teeth is preserved during the procedure, tooth whitening treatments can lighten your teeth several shades. White and healthy teeth are very important for beauty and health. Dentists have started using teeth whitening procedures more regularly in recent years to achieve whiter teeth. Teeth whitening is achieved by using a tooth whitening gel to remove pigments and organic and inorganic contaminants that have accumulated in the porous enamel structure of the tooth surface.

Who is Suitable?

Tooth yellowing is a natural process. Some people have light yellowing, others have severe yellowing. These can be caused by poor oral hygiene or discolored drinks. Not only that, but some people also have yellow teeth due to the use of certain medications, nerve damage to the teeth, age, genetics, etc. Therefore, teeth whitening may not work for everyone. A dentist will evaluate your case and assist if needed. Teeth whitening can help you achieve the bright smile you've always wanted.

How Long Does It Take?

Depending on the condition of the patient's teeth, one session may be complete, but up to two sessions may be required depending on the natural whiteness of the patient's teeth. Before you whiten your teeth, you need to treat cavities. Failure to do so will allow the bleaching solution to flow through the rotten areas of the solution and reach the interior of the tooth, increasing sensitivity. Tooth whitening is ineffective on teeth that do not have enamel. A pulled gum allows the root to emerge. Also, it does not work on veneered teeth. Sessions last approximately 20 minutes. Bleaching at the clinic takes about 40 to 60 minutes. After the examination, the dentist will clean your teeth and start whitening them. Teeth cleaning comes first. During tooth cleaning, the paste used penetrates the pores of the enamel and prevents the whitening gel from reaching the pores. This does not bleach at the same time. It should take until the next day for the cleaning paste to be washed out of your pores by saliva. After this process, you can have your teeth whitened at your first appointment.

Risks

Overall, the teeth whitening procedure is easy and risk-free. There may be some short-term negative effects, but they are common and pass quickly.
