What is Teeth Whitening?
Eyes and teeth are the highest points of attraction in the human body. It is doubtless that everyone would wish they had glazing, white teeth instead of pale & yellow ones. And a smile with such beautiful white teeth would help a self-confident, healthy and attractive appearance.
Almost everyone has white teeth until the end of adolescence, after which some habits such as smoking, tea, coffee etc. consumption, drugs used and brushing, with no doubt, contribute to the deterioration in teeth color.
Our goal, of course with intensive care and hospitality, is to give you a bright, white teeth and a prettier smile with full of self-confidence.
Why is Teeth Whitening needed?
In modern societies, people attach great importance to the appearance of their teeth. Teeth shape and color disorders can cause psychological disturbances.
Thanks to the development of aesthetic and restorative materials in dentistry, many color, shape and position disturbances can be easily solved.
The bleaching of bleached teeth among them is more economical, easier and effortless compared to other restorative methods.
Most of the Dental Associations around the globe recommend consulting a dentist first if you want to bleach your teeth. A dentist can come up with the best whitening options for you and supervise a treatment plan to avoid complications.
Professional whitening can be done in Istanbul Dental Clinics within one or 2 hours at most. It would be sufficient to obtain surprisingly well results with the new plasma technology as compared to the old and complex methods.
What is Laser Teeth Whitening?
Laser whitening, also known as power whitening, is a type of teeth whitening system that a dentist can provide. A bleaching product is painted onto your teeth and then a light or laser is shone on them to activate the whitening. Laser whitening takes about an hour.
Let’s focus on the stages of teeth whitening treatment.
Teeth Whitening Procedure Stages
What causes tooth discoloration and staining?
There are a lot of reasons why teeth are not as white as we would like them to be.
One factor is simply heredity. Everyone’s dentin (the layer of your teeth below the enamel) is a unique color and shade of either yellow or blueish grey. This is very normal and obviously varies from person to person. The thickness of a person’s enamel (based on genetics) affects how much of this natural dentin shows through.
Other factors for discoloration or staining are:
- Food and beverages, such as wine, coffee, and tea consumption
- Medication such as tetracycline
- Tobacco use
- Trauma to the tooth
The Most Effective Method for Teeth Whitening
The most effective way for tooth whitening is the procedure performed by a dentist in-office.
Here, at Istanbul Dental Clinics, strong agents are being used meanwhile the mouth and gums are being protected.
The dentist customizes the concentration of the bleaching agent related to your natural teeth color. Whatismore, a dentist manages any tooth sensitivity or other issues that may arise from treatment. In this estetic treatment, teeth can be whitened up to 10 shades in just one hour. The second-most beneficial whitening system would be a dentist supervised at-home bleaching product, which uses custom-fitted tooth trays. The bleaching agent usually contains about 10% carbamide peroxide and is used for two weeks, for about eight hours per night.
What are the risks of teeth whitening?
No matter what treatment you use, there’s a chance your gums will be sensitive to the chemicals used in teeth whitening, particularly if you already have sensitive teeth. There’s also a chance of burns to gums and some of the whitening kits used at home can harm tooth enamel.
Teeth whitening is a completely safe procedure when perform under control of a dentist.
Does teeth whitening damage teeth?
Before deciding to have teeth whitening dental treatment, it’s important to understand the reasons behind discoloration or staining. In accordiance with the reason, you and your dentist can choose the whitening treatment and the right color that will provide the best results.
The alternate question would be “does teeth whitening damage the enamel?” The answer is simple; no, teeth whitening doesn’t damage your tooth enamel. The main portion of the tooth, the dentin is the portion of the tooth that’s responsible for your teeth’s color.
Teeth whitening is a completely safe procedure when done under the control of a dentist.
Can all stains be whitened?
The great news is that, yes, most stains even those caused by medication can be dramatically improved. However, different stains may require different treatment times.
The natural yellow and blue/grey tooth shades will whiten faster than a tooth with added stains from medication, tobacco, and food. Teeth with a natural yellow shade will generally whiten in about 1–2 weeks, whereas teeth with a blue/grey shade can take twice as long.
Teeth that have been stained by tobacco use can generally take 1–3 months to whiten, and teeth that have been stained by medications can take anywhere from 2–6 months, based on how severe the staining is. Non-vital, or dead, teeth will respond to whitening well; however, it is important to talk to your dentist about whitening non-vital teeth, as this should be done before whitening the rest of the teeth in order to avoid a difference in shade.
What type of discoloration can be whitened?
In order to answer this question, there is a need for brief explanation for the types of tooth discoloration. Tooth discoloration can be divided into two main types: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic tooth discoloration comes from the interior of the tooth or the enamel itself. Extrinsic teeth darkening comes from sources outside the tooth. Teeth whitening tends to be more effective on extrinsic teeth discoloration.
Intrinsic Tooth Discoloration
There are many internal changes in a tooth that can cause intrinsic tooth discoloration. Intrinsic tooth discoloration can result from either chemical or physical changes to the tooth. As we age, our tooth enamel physically wears down, and as it thins the interior structure of the tooth, the dentin, becomes more visible. Dentin can vary in color among individuals, and may give the teeth a yellowy, brown, or grey color.
Extrinsic teeth discoloration
The most common type of extrinsic discoloring is staining which adhere to the tooth surface from some coloring foods and bevarages such as cigarettes, tea, coffee and cola. Mostly it is possible to get rid of these stains after dental cleansing. Different colorings require different treatments. Therefore, it is best for your dentist to decide what type of treatment should be done.
What is Laser Teeth Whitening?
Laser whitening, also known as power whitening, is a type of teeth whitening system that a dentist can provide. A bleaching product is painted onto your teeth and then a light or laser is shone on them to activate the whitening. Laser whitening takes about an hour.
Do teeth whiteners damage tooth enamel?
Studies of teeth whitening products using 10% carbamide peroxide showed no effect on the hardness or mineral content of a tooth’s enamel surface.
Do teeth whiteners damage dental restorations?
Over 10 years of clinical use of teeth whitening products containing 10% carbamide peroxide have not shown any damage to existing fillings.
Do teeth whiteners damage a tooth’s nerve?
There’s no evidence that the teeth whitening process has a harmful effect on the health of a tooth’s nerve. One study reported that at both a 4.5- and 7-year follow up, no one who used a teeth whitening system needed a root canal procedure on any teeth that had been whitened.
How white can my teeth get?
You may expect a whitening up to 10 tones in a treatment session, which could be even more than the level needed for your family and friends to recognize the difference in you; however, severely stained teeth might need a further second session.
Are my teeth going to be “snow white” after the procedure?
No, controlled whitening procedure under the supervision of an experienced dentist would make your teeth become naturally whitened which would not imply any artificiality at all. This system, incorporating the recently developed PLASMA light and the new gel developed not to create any irritation for teeth and gums, can yield a color lightening up to 10 tones when desired.
What is the age limit for teeth to be whitened?
Tooth whitening can be performed at any age of adulthood even after 70 years old. Tooth whitening treatment and products remove built-up stains and brighten the enamel.
Can any dentist whiten teeth?
Any dentist can whiten teeth as long as they’re registered with the General Dental Council in the country he or she operates. Registered dental therapists and dental hygienists can also carry out teeth whitening on the prescription of a dentist.
Is teeth whitening permanent?
Teeth whitening isn’t permanent. It varies from person to person and with a good level of oral hygiene, you may keep this whiteness level for a maximum of 2 years.
