Teeth Whitening
The colour of teeth can darken over time, depending on habits such as coffee, tea and smoking, and on age. Whitening is a procedure that aims to lighten the colour of the teeth. Before starting, your teeth and gums need to be looked at; we explain why below
Two methods: in the clinic and at home
In the method applied in the clinic, a whitening gel is applied to the teeth and the gel is activated with a light source.
In the method applied at home, clear trays prepared to the measurements of your mouth are used. You apply the gel given by the dentist with these trays yourself, for the duration and at the frequency you are told.
Before the procedure, your gums are protected and the suitability of your teeth for the procedure is carefully assessed.
How does the process go?
Whitening steps
Examination and assessment
The condition of the teeth and gums is assessed. If there is decay or a gum problem, it is generally dealt with first.
Choosing the method
Clinic or home; which one suits you is decided together.
Application
Depending on the chosen method, it is carried out in the clinic or at home, as the dentist describes.
Result and care
After the procedure is completed, the colour shade is checked and what to look out for at home is shared.
Things to pay attention to
In the first few days after whitening, staying away from staining foods and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and cigarettes increases the permanence of the shade achieved.
