Bleaching

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular procedures in cosmetic dentistry. After all, a radiant smile simply has a magical effect on our appearance.
It should be understood that no one naturally has flawlessly white teeth like the ones seen every day in advertisements. The color of tooth enamel can range from gray-white to yellow-white. This is usually influenced by genetic predisposition and lifestyle. Very many products leave their coloring pigments on the teeth: tobacco, chocolate, tea, coffee, red wine, berries, sauces and others. Among other things, age-related changes in teeth also have a very significant impact on their color.
In order to achieve the desired result and save money, some patients try to solve the problem on their own, without the help of a qualified dentist. Specialists of the City Smile Center strongly advise against this. Without a doctor’s consultation, it is almost impossible to determine the condition of your tooth enamel, whether there are no microcracks or decay. In addition, it is very difficult to control the effect of whitening agents on your teeth and, as a result, you may get the opposite of the desired effect. Therefore, even non-professional home teeth whitening should be performed under the supervision of your dentist.

Among the methods of professional teeth whitening used today, we can distinguish 4 main ones:

• photobleaching;
• chemical;
• laser whitening;
• endo bleaching.

Laser whitening is the most popular as the most highly effective and long-lasting method. Photo bleaching is slightly less popular. Chemical whitening is used less often, because it does not give such a bright result, but this method is considered the most “invisible” for the teeth. Endo-whitening (or intracanal whitening) is usually applied to a particular tooth if it has become very dark after canal treatment.
This type of whitening can only be applied to a tooth once.
To choose the best method of teeth whitening, you will need the help of a dentist. A qualified dentist will not only whiten your teeth comfortably and quickly, but will also provide comprehensive recommendations on how to maintain the result for as long as possible.
