Teeth Whitening

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure used to remove stains and discolouration from teeth. Teeth whitening treatment lightens the colour of tooth enamel, making teeth appear whiter and brighter. This procedure is typically performed using special whitening gels and lasers. Teeth whitening helps individuals achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

Why is it preferred?

Teeth whitening treatment is one of the most popular and sought-after procedures in cosmetic dentistry. Over time, teeth discolour due to factors such as diet, beverages, smoking and other environmental factors. Teeth whitening treatment helps individuals achieve a more aesthetic smile by restoring the natural white colour of their teeth.

This treatment involves a series of methods performed by professional dentists. Thanks to the whitening process, not only will the colour of your teeth change, but your self-confidence will also increase. Bright white teeth leave a healthy and clean impression.

Teeth Whitening Methods

Teeth whitening can be performed using different methods. Each method may vary in terms of treatment duration, cost, effectiveness, and personal preferences. Here are the most commonly used teeth whitening methods:

In-Office Teeth Whitening (Professional Whitening)

Office-based teeth whitening is a whitening procedure performed by a dentist in a clinical setting. In this method, powerful whitening gels and laser light are used to quickly whiten teeth. The whitening process typically takes 1-2 hours and produces much faster results.

- Safe as it is performed under the supervision of a dentist.

Laser Teeth Whitening

Laser teeth whitening is one of the in-office whitening methods, but this method is performed using special laser lights. The laser light enhances the effect of the whitening gel and whitens teeth faster. This method generally provides permanent and effective results after the whitening process.

Advantages:

- Provides fast and effective results.

- Does not damage teeth and is safe.
