Teeth whitening: Home methode or in-office service

White teeth are simply pleasing to the eye, thus refreshing shine of the face and enhancing its natural beauty.

Teeth whitening is usually combined with aesthetic solutions, even though it is a separate dental service. We wish to match the colour of the natural teeth with the colour of the new crowns, veneers, or simply to whiten natural teeth.

Natural colour does not have to be always bright and white how we would wish. From this reason, teeth whitening is recommended as a cosmetic and aesthetic method. It is an acknowledged and routine method, which allows impressive results.

RDifferent factors influence beautiful teeth color:

• Genetic
• degenerative changes in teeth development
• influence of antibiotics and some vitamins and mineral supplements
• kfood or water consumption with heightened level of iron or fluoride
• smoking
• aging etc…

These are the most common ways of teeth whitening:

1. Whitening at home with the method of mouth tray

It is very effective way of achieving a beautiful, bright smile.

You apply the whitening gel in appropriate mouth tray, previously made in Dentorium. Wear it during the night (8 hours). Whole treatment lasts up to 8 to 10 nights.

Effect of whitening is visible after first wearing. Time needed for optimal effect depends on the dark pigment of teeth.

Active ingredient used for whitening is carbamide peroxide with neutral ph 6.9 – safe chemical method, for decades used for disinfection of oral area, and today an aid for millions of people around the world, to whiten their teeth.

2. Whitening in Dentorium

It is done with the help of extremely strong remedy for teeth whitening; Opalescence Boost.

The treatment is done in one visit; 4 intervals of 15 minutes.

This method is much quicker, equally safe and effective like with mouth tray, also having the possibility of professional supervision of the whole treatment.

After the treatment there is a possibility of teeth sensitivity, (which disappears in two to three days). In this case we use a special gel for desensibilization.

Color is stabilized after two weeks.

It is recommended to avoid, for a week, consumption of food and drinks which colour dental tissue: black wine, dark fruit juices, coffee, carrots, spinach, salsa, tea, cigarettes …etc.

For patients who regularly maintain their oral hygiene, teeth whitening has longer effect than any other dental treatment.

Workflow

To be fully sure in safety of the treatment, before the actual treatment, the dentist checks your current oral state.

Old fillings and plaque are, in most cases, removed before the treatment, and eventual holes are filled. In these cases temporary tooth fillings are made until the treatment is over. Later they are replaced with definitive fillings. Depending on your lifestyle, and the level of teeth discoloration, dentist decides the type of teeth whitening.

Despite of the large market offer, beware of the home remedies for teeth whitening! Advice, and dentist supervision are of utmost importance!
