Tooth Whitening

Through time and due to various factors, our teeth may lose their brightness. The consciousness people feel in these situations is very common, since they are reluctant to smile freely and with self-confidence.

The solution to the problem of discolored teeth is whitening; a simple, quick and safe process with immediate results that can make your smile several tones brighter. We should be aware,
though, that our teeth cannot be whitened indefinitely. Besides, our aim is to have a bright smile while maintaining its natural appearance.

causes of tooth discoloration

causes of tooth discoloration

What mostly stain our teeth are the coloring substances that are deposited on their surface.
Main sources of those colorants are:

  • Our diet (coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks etc)
  • Smoking

But there are also other causes, such us:

  • Dental traumas
  • Old fillings, endodontic treatments
  • Age
  • Use of certain medications, such as tetracyclines

Discolorations may be either superficial, therefore can be easily removed by regular brushing and teeth cleaning; or intrinsic, therefore for its removal a whitening procedure is necessary.

In-office

Teeth Whitening

In-office whitening is performed using a whitening gel that gets spread on the teeth, and its action is enhanced by laser or lamp light of specific frequency. The whitening factor infiltrates in the enamel and dentin, dissolving the coloring substances. During the process, we cover your gums in order to avoid contact with the gel. Before whitening, we usually perform teeth cleaning; while if you suffer from periodontal disease or dental caries, these problems must
be treated before the whitening. 

Whitening is a safe and painless process, without any direct or indirect side effects. The whitening result is not permanent and the duration of the effect differs significantly from individual to individual. It depends on the cause of the discoloration, diet, and oral hygiene. The teeth may darken again after a period of time, but will still be whiter than before. Finally, we must practice good oral hygiene and have regular cleaning sessions at the dental practice.

At-home

Teeth Whitening

Whitening can also be performed at home, but always with the cooperation and guidance of the dentist. During your visit at the practice, we will take your teeth impressions, in order to create customized, special whitening splints.

When the splints are ready, we will examine their application and provide you with the whitening material you will use at home. It is very important to strictly follow the instructions for use we will give you, so that the process can be performed with total safety and produce
the desired results.

The method of at-home whitening is quite simple. You put the whitening gel inside the splint, and then place it in your mouth for 30 minutes per day according to our instructions. After a few days, the process is complete and we can evaluate the results in the dental practice. The main advantage of whitening splints is that the same splints can be used again later for the result maintenance.
