Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment method used to remove color stains on teeth and restore the natural whiteness of teeth. This method aims to achieve a whiter and brighter smile by reducing stains, yellowing or discoloration on the tooth enamel. Teeth whitening can be performed by professional dentists in the office or at home.

Professional Teeth Whitening (Office Whitening):
Professional teeth whitening is a procedure usually performed in the dentist’s clinic. The dentist removes stains from tooth enamel using a special gel or teeth whitening solution. A special light or laser may also be used during this process. Professional teeth whitening sessions generally provide faster and more effective results.

Types of Teeth Whitening:
Bleaching: Chemical agents are used that penetrate the tooth enamel and break down the color pigments.
Laser Whitening: Whitening gels are activated by a laser or a special light source, which can increase the speed of the process.
Internal Whitening: It removes stains with a whitening substance placed inside the tooth.

Teeth Whitening Process:
Teeth whitening involves first an examination by the dentist to assess the condition of the teeth and gums. Next, the dentist selects the appropriate whitening method and the process begins. As for home whitening kits, individuals can use them under the guidance of their dentist or without a prescription.

Who is it suitable for:
Teeth whitening is generally suitable for individuals with healthy teeth. However, if you have extreme tooth sensitivity, damaged or cracked tooth enamel, or during pregnancy, teeth whitening may not be recommended.

Advantages:
Aesthetic Improvement: Teeth whitening can help an individual achieve a younger and healthier appearance by improving the aesthetics of the smile.
Confidence Increase: Having white teeth generally increases an individual’s self-confidence and can have a positive impact on social relationships.

Since each individual’s tooth structure is different, it is important to consult with a dentist and create a personalized treatment plan before teeth whitening.
