White, cariesfree teeth are the foundation for a healthy and beautiful smile, it makes us feel better about ourselves, increases our selfesteem.
We distinguish between surface stains and discolorations and such that have been established in irregularities of non-vital teeth, enamel or dentin. This can not be removed by toothbrushing as external cleaning is not sufficient to remove these deep imperfections.

It makes sense to have a professional dental hygiene prior to tooth whitening, to remove those stains and tartar so that your actual colour becomes visible. The gels that are applied to the tooth surface can penetrate better thus giving us better results.
Superficial discolouration of the teeth is due to various products such as coffee, tea, tobacco, or red wine. Internal stains can be caused by medications, caries or necrosis oft the nerve.

For the purpose of varifying colour of the teeth a gel like hydrogen peroxide substance is used. It penetrates into the tooth and releases oxygen radicals. The colour is changed so that it is no longer visible and can not be noticed.

This particular method involves using substances that are of stronger concentration and can only be used by medical staff in the dental surgery. Firstly, a liquid material (rubber dam) is applied to seperate and effectively protect the gingiva. The whitening material is then directly applied to the teeth surfaces where it begins to work immediately.
The whitening effect can be intensified by using a special light during such a session. After the first 15-45 minutes the gel is washed off to continuously evaluate the colour. If the result is not satisfactory, the process can be repeated. In order to obtain a good result and a permanent effect whitening should occur at least in two sessions.

This is a method that is used for bleaching of non vital teeth where the material is deposited into the tooth.
A tiny hole is made, infact the same one through which the rootcanal treatment was carried out earlier. The bleaching agent is introduced into the chamber and the tooth is temporarily closed. After a few days (as required) this process is repeated or if the result is satisfactory it can be closed with a restoration.

There is also a way of bleaching your teeth at home. Firstly, impressions are made and a custom made tray is constructed at the laboratory. A few droplets of the bleaching agent is then inserted into those trays. The trays are inserted into the mouth and worn for the recommended amount of time.
It may seem that this method is easier fort he patient as it doesn’t require anymore visits, but usually not recommended by the dentists as there is a lack of control of those substances by the patient during its process of working. It sometimes can lead to unpleasant experiences of burning sensations or infalammations if too much of the gel is placed in a tray.
