Professional teeth whitening reduces discoloration and returns your smile to a natural white. In contrast to over-the-counter products, professional whitening involves administration of prescription-strength peroxide-based compositions using patient-specific techniques to deliver dramatic results in a safe manner. This controlled method may lighten teeth up to 6-8 shades in one session and treat staining due to coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, medications, and aging without compromising the tooth structure.
In-office whitening is the most potent whitening strategy, employing high-concentration agents using special light technology. The process is started by soft tissue protection and then by accurate application of whitening gel. The activating light speeds up the oxidative release process for the breakdown of the stains in the molecules, thus producing results immediately after a 60-90 min treatment. To maximise an effect, several sessions, or with take-home techniques, may be suggested.
Home Professional whitening offers a comfortable option with good outcomes over a slightly larger period. This method involves the fabrication of individual trays which guarantee full contact between the whitening agent and the tooth surfaces and provide limited gel in direct contact with the sensitive gum and mucosa. Your dentist prescribes professional-grade gel and custom instructions to factors specific to your discoloration and sensitivity. This slow-got at practice generally produces optimal outcomes in 1-2 weeks.
limiting staining beverages, using straws when appropriate, rinsing after exposure, maintaining excellent oral hygiene, and scheduling regular cleanings. Treatment effects are generally temporary, even though not lifelong, treatment effects of professional intervention last 1-3 years depending on lifestyle and aftercare.
