Teeth Whitening Methods

Teeth bleaching treatments can be done in two different ways in general; Office teeth bleaching and home teeth bleaching.

Office type bleaching is the most effective method among teeth bleaching processes. The peroxide ratios of the bleaching agents used in the treatment are relatively higher.

Before the in-office bleaching application, the gums are covered with a protective barrier. Then a gel with bleaching properties is applied to the teeth. The gel application is repeated 2 or 3 times at intervals of 15 minutes

Office type bleaching is completed in 2 or 3 sessions. The number of sessions may vary according to the coloration of the tooth. It is recommended to stay away from coloring foods such as tea and coffee and cigarettes or to consume less in the days between sessions. Sensitivity may occur in the teeth after bleaching procedures; For this, desensitizing toothpaste is recommended.

The dentist tells the patient about the application. Sick, according to the instructions for the application every day, 2 times apply the bleaching gel.
