Teeth whitening
It’s like magic for your smile! Teeth whitening uses special gels or treatments that help remove stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth. These gels usually contain active ingredients such as peroxides, which penetrate the enamel layer of the teeth and remove stains by brightening them. The result is a whiter and brighter smile.
In-office whitening procedures typically involve procedures with more concentrated whitening agents and special techniques that typically provide faster and more effective results than at-home methods. Here are some of them:
Professional peroxide whitening: This method involves applying more concentrated whitening gels that contain peroxides (such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to the surface of the teeth. A special light or laser is then used to activate the peroxides and speed up the whitening process.
Protected whitening procedures: These methods involve applying a protective coating to the gum of your tooth to protect the gum from the aggressive effects of the whitening gel. The whitening gel is then applied to the teeth, and a special light or laser is used to activate the gel.
Combined methods: Some dentists use a combination of whitening gels and special techniques, such as using peroxides in combination with light or laser, to achieve maximum results.
These procedures are performed by qualified dentists and usually offer quick and effective results. However, before beginning an in-office teeth whitening procedure, it is important to consult with your dentist to determine the most appropriate method for you and to ensure that the procedure is right for your smile and teeth.”
