Professional Teeth Whitening is a method applied to yellow colored teeth. If your front teeth do not have large fillings or crowns, there is no harm in teeth whitening. Otherwise, while your natural teeth will whiten, the color of your ceramic, composite and porcelain teeth will be different.
TEETH WHITENING STEPS
A lip picker is placed in your mouth to provide easier access to your teeth.
Next, a gel is coated around your front teeth and the gel is hardened with a high-power light. The aim here is to protect your gums from teeth whitening chemicals.
In the third step, a gel made of hydrogen peroxide is applied to your teeth. Thanks to this substance, the stain compounds on the teeth are broken down and whitening is provided.
During the teeth whitening process, the gel can be applied several times until the desired result is obtained. Approximately 40 minutes between applications. It is the ideal waiting time to pass. When the process is completed, an average of 4 to 6 color tones is achieved.
Some patients experience tooth or gum sensitivity after whitening, but this usually goes away in a day or two.
The preservation of the whiteness of the teeth varies depending on the habits of the people such as nutrition, smoking, and tooth brushing. Although there are home kits sold outside for teeth whitening, a professional teeth whitening applied by your dentist will always give healthier and faster results.
