What is teeth whitening?

Everything starts with a snow-white smile. Individuals with yellow or similar tones in teeth usually do not have white teeth due to frequent habits. Even if we have acquired the habit of brushing our teeth, we cannot prevent yellowing of our teeth. Apart from the visual appearance, teeth whiteness also has psychological effects. It is one of the factors that deeply affects a person's self-confidence. Teeth Whitening Bleaching is one of the most effective ways to lighten the natural color of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. It cannot make a complete color change, but it can lighten the existing shade. Many reasons such as genetic factors, smoking and coffee consumption, common use of some substances, and delaying dental care cause the white appearance in the mouth and teeth to disappear after a while. Staining and unwanted images are seen on the teeth. Dark-colored spots usually occur on the tooth surfaces. This appearance, which has an unpleasant appearance and has a very negative effect, can be eliminated with teeth Whitening Bleaching methods. It is possible to achieve a much whiter tooth appearance with the correct and meticulous procedures.

Why would I need it?

There are several reasons why you might want to whiten your teeth.
Everyone’s teeth and enamel are different. Just like our hair and skin colour change, our teeth change colour over time. Few people have bright white teeth and it’s up to us to maintain them.
Your teeth can also be stained by foods and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and currants, and we don’t like the look of them. Smoking also falls into this category of staining.
‘Stone’ or tartar can also affect the colour of your teeth. Some people may have stains under the surface caused by certain antibiotics or small cracks in the teeth that stain. This is why they need teeth whitening.

What does it involve?

- Professional whitening is the most common method of teeth whitening.
- Your dentist will tell you if you are suitable for the treatment and will check that you are suitable.
- Your dentist will first put a rubber shield or gel on your gums to protect them. They will then apply a teeth whitening product, also called a mouth guard, using a custom-made tray that fits your mouth.
How long does it take?
-The total treatment can usually be completed within three to four weeks.

First, you will need to visit your dentist two or three times.

Your dentist will need to make a mouth guard and will take impressions for this at your first appointment.

You will need to continue the treatment that your dentist has started at home.

This means applying the whitening product regularly for two to four weeks, for 30 minutes to 60 minutes each time.

However, there are now new products that can be applied for up to eight hours at a time.

This means that you can get satisfactory results in as little as a week.

What Procedures Are Available?

There is now laser whitening or 'power whitening'.

A rubber dam is placed over your teeth to protect your gums from damage during this procedure and a whitening product is applied to your teeth.

The teeth are then shined with a light or laser to activate the chemical. The light speeds up the reaction of the whitening product and the colour change can be achieved more quickly.
Laser whitening is said to make teeth up to five or six shades lighter. This is a great way to make you happy.

How long does chairside electric whitening take?

-Your dentist will need to assess your teeth to make sure they are suitable for the treatment.

Once agreed, these procedures usually take about an hour.

How much does teeth whitening cost?

-Costs will vary from treatment to treatment and from area to area, so there is no definitive statement.
-Laser or power whitening will be more expensive than professional whitening.

That’s why we recommend getting a written cost estimate before starting a treatment.
How long will my teeth stay whiter?
-The effects of whitening are thought to last up to three years.

However, this will vary from person to person.
-If you smoke or eat or consume products that can stain your teeth, the effects are less likely to last.

Be sure to ask your dentist for their opinion before starting treatment.
