Get Ready to Shine with a Whiter, Brighter Smile.
It is a bleaching procedure that uses derivatives of hydrogen peroxide. The color of the tooth likewise becomes lighter as a result of the oxygen separation. People with teeth that are yellow, brown, or gray can have whiter teeth thanks to this technique. Patients with good oral hygiene, healthy teeth, and gums should receive bleaching. As a cosmetic product, teeth whitening solutions are not required to be suitable for every patient. There are several different teeth-whitening techniques available today, which patients can use independently or with the help of a doctor. Which teeth-whitening technique is best for the patient should always be decided by the dentist.
There is different kind of techniques to reach the whiteness desired. They may be needed in different situations.
The methods which can be used for bleaching the teeth can be counted as follows:
The abrasive components in them help to eliminate the stains from the teeth. These pastes can only remove surface stains since they do not contain hydrogen peroxide, a whitening chemical that allows them to reach the deep layers of the teeth. The teeth's color can be lightened by up to one tone using these whitening toothpastes. The color of the tooth can be lightened by up to 8 tons using a doctor-applied office-style whitening method.
Whitening gels are peroxide-based transparent gels that are applied by the patient to the surface of the teeth with the help of small brushes. They are usually applied 2 times a day for 14 days. Whitening strips, on the other hand, are invisible transparent bands coated with peroxide-based gel and are applied by the patient by sticking them on the teeth. In both types of whitening systems, instant whitening results are obtained in the first few days and after 4 months, final whitening results are obtained. However, these methods are not recommended to patients because they are not performed under the control of a physician and the contents of the bleaching agents used are beyond the knowledge of the physician.
These are dentist-assisted whitening systems. The physician prepares a personal mouth plate suitable for the patient on the model obtained from the measurement taken from the patient. The patient applies it for a few hours a day for about 4 weeks, according to the percentage of peroxide supplied by the physician. The duration of this application depends on the color and density of the stains, the opening tone of the teeth and the sensitivity that may occur in the teeth.
It is the fastest and most effective teeth whitening system. In this method, the whitening product is applied directly on the teeth. The dentist applies protective gel or covers the gums with rubber to protect the gums and soft tissues from the effects of the whitening agent. These products are used in combination with special types of light or laser. The result is obtained immediately after the first 30-60 minutes of application. If heat or light is not applied on the bleaching agent, the bleaching process is applied several times until the desired result is obtained.

Care for your teeth's dental health in detail before bleaching them. The necessary procedures to achieve an effective result before teeth whitening will increase the success of the procedure. The patient's dental issues are identified during the examination that will be conducted before to teeth whitening. If there is gingivitis, it is treated. It is advised to have any fillings that are required completed. The teeth-whitening treatment will be more effective and long-lasting the better the oral and dental health. Tooth crowding causes a number of oral and dental health issues. To avoid these issues and to have a beautiful smile, orthodontic treatment is necessary. After receiving orthodontic treatment, teeth whitening will be significantly more effective.
Tartar removal is necessary prior to teeth whitening in order to achieve a more effective outcome. Food residues gather and harden, forming tartar as a result. Unfortunately, once it has formed, the brushing procedure will not remove it. The assistance of the dentist in this matter is crucial. On the teeth, tartar can leave stains that are brown and yellow. Teeth whitening won't be able to remove these stains. Calculus cleansing is therefore one of the procedures that should be carried out before teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening will not show any benefit when applied to unhealthy teeth, as it is a dentistry application that is intended to reveal all the beauty of the teeth. Before teeth whitening, appropriate treatments should be made for bleeding, swollen and unhealthy-looking gums, and oral and dental health should be fully established. In the general dental examination to be made before teeth whitening, your dentist will talk about the treatments for gum disease that should be done. For a perfect smile, the gums must be healthy.
When done properly, teeth whitening is a successful application that has no negative side effects. The patient needs to receive expert dental care before having their teeth whitened. Cleaning the tartar will have a big impact on how well the teeth-whitening procedure works. Additionally, the patient should limit their intake of alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, and foods that are colored between tooth whitening treatments. Such colored foods and drinks will influence the outcome of the teeth-whitening procedure.
In general, every patient has more or less sensitivity after teeth whitening (very rarely, it may not be seen at all). These sensitivity symptoms are transient and go away in 1-3 days. Especially on the first day, the patient should use an anti-inflammatory analgesic (pain reliever). Again, extreme cold or heat should be avoided for the first few days. There is a diet list that every patient must follow after teeth whitening. Any coloring food or drink is prohibited. The first three days in particular are highly delicate, but ideally one week to ten days should be taken into consideration. For one week following the process' conclusion, products with dark colors including cigarettes, tea, coffee, chocolate, red wine, cherries, caramel, and tomato paste shouldn't be used. Otherwise, the resulting whiteness will return. The use of whitening toothpaste after teeth whitening also prolongs the whitening effect. The point to be noted here is that toothpastes or tooth powders containing abrasives should never be used. After a certain amount of time, abrasive products create both coloring and sensitivity. The effect of bleaching is preserved for a long time in a patient who brushes teeth at least 2 times a day, has regular check-ups for 6 months, does not smoke and does not consume excessive tea and coffee. It can be supported with home bleaching at certain intervals (once every 2-3 years). There may be a return in patients who do not comply with these rules, and as a result of the return, bleaching can be performed again.

Similar to how some meals and beverages can stain clothing, they can also stain your teeth. Over time, dark-colored foods and drinks including red wine, coffee, berries, cola, and other can discolor teeth. Additionally, acidic meals and beverages can wear away tooth enamel, making it simpler for the food and beverage pigment to adhere to teeth.
Your teeth may whiten more quickly because the professional solutions used by your dentist are often stronger than those in over-the-counter kits. Additionally, they can prevent sensitive gums from becoming even more inflamed. Only your teeth's enamel, the hard exterior layer, is affected by whitening agents.
Your teeth's natural shade is restored with the whitening procedure. Your teeth will look lot better than they did before the procedure, but their natural color will stay the same. Stains and dinginess are removed. Your teeth will become considerably whiter after the bleaching procedure.
