We all want our teeth to be as white as pearls. Some people are among the lucky group who have genetically white teeth. But unfortunately most people are not that lucky. If you have genetically yellow teeth or if your teeth have turned yellow over time, this article is for you!
First of all, I should point out that the whiteness of our teeth is greatly affected by what we eat and drink. Habits such as tea, coffee and smoking are the main factors that turn teeth yellow and cause tooth stains. So, what are the treatments used to whiten teeth?
Teeth whitening treatments can be applied in two ways. These are office type teeth whitening method (beam whitening) and home type teeth whitening methods. It would be correct to decide which whitening method to apply after a dentist examination. These methods can be applied alone or together.
Office Teeth Whitening Method
Office type teeth whitening is a whitening method applied by the dentist in the clinic. These whitening agents are applied to the tooth and allowed to penetrate into the tooth with the help of a radiation device. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
Anesthesia: NONE
Procedure time: 30 minutes on average
Pain: Mild sensitivity (If there is a crack in the tooth enamel)
Healing time: Sensitivity will go away on its own in the days following the procedure.
Final result: 2 days
Duration of use: 12-24 months
Home-type Teeth Whitening Method
In the home-type teeth whitening method, the dentist determines the whitening agent in concentrations suitable for the patient. These whitening agents are given to the patient in tubes. The patient applies whitening gels to the dental plates made specifically for him.
Anesthesia: NONE
Processing time: 7-10 days
Pain: Mild sensitivity (If there is a crack in the tooth enamel)
Healing period: Sensitivity will disappear spontaneously in the days following the procedure.
Final result: Whitening of the teeth will be observed immediately after the application.
Duration of use: 12-24 months.
Combined Teeth Whitening Method
A combination of office type teeth whitening method and home type teeth whitening method. is. It is the most effective teeth whitening method. The greatest change in tooth tone is achieved with this method. When the teeth whitening method is applied in combination, the permanence period increases significantly. Many patients can use it for years. Even though the tooth color may return a few shades, the teeth are immediately restored to their original state with a simple application.
When there is a slight return in the tone of the tooth, it is not necessary to repeat the same treatment from the beginning. With simple applications (such as a single session treatment or the use of a single tube of gel), the color of the first day is preserved.
Office type application is very fast and does not require any effort at home. Home type application can be chosen by people with sensitivity problems because the concentrations of teeth whitening gels are low.
