Dental bleaching in the office, also known as in-office teeth whitening or professional teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental treatment performed our dentist to achieve a brighter and whiter smile. It involves the use of a bleaching agent to lighten the color of the teeth.
Before the bleaching procedure, Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals and expectations. They will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and free from any underlying issues that may interfere with the bleaching process.
To protect the gums and soft tissues, Our dentist will apply a protective gel or a rubber shield around the gum line. This barrier will shield them from the bleaching agent and minimize potential irritation.
Our dentist will then apply a high-concentration bleaching gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide directly onto the teeth. The gel is typically activated with a specialized light or laser to accelerate the bleaching process. The gel is left on the teeth for a certain period, usually around 15-30 minutes, depending on the brand used and the desired results.
In many cases, Our dentist may apply several layers of the bleaching gel during a single session, removing and reapplying the gel as needed. This process helps to achieve optimal results and allows the dentist to monitor the progress of the bleaching.
Once the desired result is achieved, Our dentist will evaluate the teeth and determine if further bleaching is necessary. They will also provide instructions on post-treatment care, including advice on avoiding certain foods and beverages that may stain the teeth and recommendations for at-home maintenance, such as using whitening toothpaste or mouth rinses.
Dental bleaching in the office offers a quick and effective way to lighten the color of your teeth. The results are often noticeable immediately after the treatment, with teeth appearing several shades whiter. It is a safe procedure when performed by Our trained dental professionals, minimizing the risk of gum irritation or tooth sensitivity.
However, it's important to note that the longevity of the whitening effects may vary from person to person, depending on factors such as lifestyle habits (e.g., smoking, consumption of staining substances), oral hygiene practices, and individual tooth structure. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene are essential to maintain the whiteness of your teeth over time.
It's always recommended to consult with our dentist to determine if dental bleaching is suitable for you and to ensure that it is performed safely and effectively.
