Tooth whitening
Tooth whitening
Discolouring of the teeth is a natural but not an irreversible process. The surface of the enamel easily encapsulates the traces of smoking besides multicoloured food and drinks. These days, a beautiful smile has become an expectation in various work environments. In addition, it increases the self confidence of people if they can smile confidently and their shining teeth give a neat and sophisticated look to their owner.
Thanks to these expectations, tooth whitening has become a routine procedure. We use the latest technologies of teeth whitening at our clinic.
It is important to know that we have to tidy up the whole dentition before tooth whitening: cavities need to be attended and dental hygiene treatments need to be performed as well. Having healthy gums is also the basic condition of this procedure.
Regarding homemade tricks
On the internet, you can find several magic / homemade tricks for tooth whitening. The most frequent of these is whitening by scrubbing your teeth with baking soda and lemon juice. Neither of them is recommended since the mechanical (baking soda) and the acidic (lemon) effects might cause irreversible damage to the enamel.
A damaged enamel leads straight to tooth sensitivity and tooth decay.
Teeth whitening procedures that we do at our clinic and those that we suggest doing at home are perfectly safe and do not lead to any long-lasting damage - their efficiency is proven by clinical trials.
Tooth whitening at the clinic
At our dental clinic, we apply tooth whitening gel on the teeth surface. We activate this gel by using a special light that launches the whitening effect. The whole procedure takes about an hour and the color of your teeth immediately changes several shades.
The BEYOND POLUS LED teeth whitening lamp successfully combines halogen and LED technology - besides, it works with high intensity cold light.
Why is it good for you?
1. Because this technology catalyses the tooth whitening material and enhances the efficiency - thus, we can achieve 8 shades lighter teeth on average in only 30 minutes.
2. Because it’ equipped with the most advanced light filtering technology available on the market, thereby this treatment is completely free from UV and infrared light which damages teeth and mucosa.
3. Thus, there’s no morphological changes since neither the pulp, nor the tooth nerves suffer any damage!
4. The whitening liquid is water-based, so it doesn’t have any direct contact with your teeth and doesn’t damage the enamel.
5. Fluorides can be built inside the microscopic poles occurring at the place of the dissolved pigments - this procedure not only strengthens the enamel but also prolongs the whitening effect.
6. The equipment operates at a lower temperature than alternative whitening systems which boosts the patient’s comfort during the treatment and reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity!
Advantages:
1. The treatment is performed by a dentist.
2. The whole procedure takes no more than one hour.
3. It has a long-lasting effect.
4. The whitening material doesn't enter your body, not even in the smallest amount.
5. Impression taking is not necessary.
Tooth whitening at home
In order to be able to whiten your teeth at home, the dental technician makes a perfectly fitting bleaching rail on the basis of your tooth imprint. You need to fill some whitening gel inside the rail then place it on your teeth. This method needs to be repeated several times to get the desired result - thus, whitening at your home is more time consuming.
Does tooth whitening have any possible side-effects?
In certain cases, temporary tooth sensitivity might occur which we always try to minimise. This transitional inconvenience doesn’t mean that your teeth get damaged in any way.
