Professional teeth whitening in the doctor's office is the most popular dental procedure in the world today. Unlike home whitening systems, which include small doses of bleaching agents, whitening in dental office - also known as professional bleaching. It takes place under close supervision, which allows safe, controlled, painless use of high concentration teeth whitening gel. The results of the procedure will be visible immediately.
Discoloration in the doctor's office is more expensive than his household alternatives. Its cost, on average, is 18,000 rubles, compared to 12,000 for home remedies, and less than 3,000 for chemist's bleaching trays and bleaching strips.
The consequences can not be predicted, based on such factors as age, heredity and the type of spots that you have.
Discoloration in the office is not a solution for all times. Soon after the treatment is over, teeth still get stains. Therefore, many dentists recommend bleaching the teeth at home after the procedure with the help of bleach of low concentration, which can be applied to the teeth for long time intervals.
Teeth whitening in the dental office removes stains of organic origin, or fading, resulting from the following factors:
Aging. After a while, teeth darken to a yellow, green, or gray hue, to which the cause may be heredity and / or eating habits. Yellowed teeth bleach more successfully.
Consumption of certain foods, especially coffee, red wine, soda or dark vegetables and fruits. Also smoking of tobacco.
This procedure is not suitable for people with the following factors:
Hypersensitivity of teeth and gums. To avoid too sensitive reactions, your dentist should advise home whitening devices containing low concentration carbamide peroxide, which is not as strong as hydrogen peroxide.
Deep and not treatable spots. Some spots are resistant to high-concentration medical whiteners. In such cases, dentists can recommend a controlled mode of intensive home whitening, or alternatives to peroxide bleaching, such as bonding, crowns and porcelain veneers.
Teeth that have become transparent to old age. This, in particular, refers to the front teeth, which are thinner than the rest.
Preparation of teeth
Perhaps your teeth will have to undergo a preventive cleaning to remove tartar and stains that have formed on the surface and between the teeth.
A dental check will be performed, often along with preventive cleaning, to identify possible problems such as severe tooth decay, cracks and gum disease. Bleaches can cause irritation of varying degrees if these problems are present. Your dentist will probably postpone bleaching until the problems are corrected.
You can take photos of your teeth, and their color is measured by a special reference book. This is done to evaluate your progress in whitening.
Advantages of professional teeth bleaching
- No other procedure for teeth whitening gives a faster result.
- This is the safest way to whiten teeth.
- Controlling the impact on sensitive gums and teeth that in the past could not have been whitened by a doctor has become better today, because of the higher density of the peroxide gel that does not absorb into the teeth like the previous one, and thanks to the use of desensitizers such as potassium nitrate or fluoride.
