Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

It is a procedure performed to reduce discoloration on the tooth surface (coffee, tea, cigarettes, etc.) or color changes in the internal structure of the tooth due to aging or medication use.

Teeth Whitening Methods:

Office Whitening: This is a procedure performed by a dentist in a clinical setting. The whitening gel applied to the teeth is activated with UV light or laser.

Home Whitening: Whitening gel is applied to custom-made trays. This treatment lasts for at least 4-6 hours a day, typically lasting 10-15 days.

Single Tooth Whitening (Devital Tooth Whitening): This is the whitening of teeth discolored by root canal treatment. A whitening gel is applied to the inside of the tooth. Sessions are repeated every 3-4 days until the desired shade is achieved.

Is Teeth Whitening Harmful?

There's a common misconception that teeth whitening weakens teeth and is harmful, but this isn't true. Sensitivity can occur after the procedure. This can occur when consuming hot or cold beverages or foods. This is normal, but if you experience any unexpected effects, you should consult a dentist.

Does Whitening Work On People Who Smoke, Drink Tea And Coffee A Lot?

Whitening can certainly be performed. The results are visible, but the patient should avoid smoking, tea, and coffee for two days afterward. Patient cooperation is crucial for achieving good results.
