Teeth are extremely important in shaping the facial expression and aesthetic appearance.

What is Teeth Whitening and How is It Performed?

People with white teeth have high self-confidence and can smile as they please. Excessive consumption of beverages like tea and coffee and the use of tobacco products like cigarettes can cause teeth to yellow. Poor dental care is also a contributing factor to yellowing. At Defneprimedent Istanbul Ataşehir dental clinic, teeth whitening removes the yellow appearance on teeth. Specialized techniques are used to achieve a whiter color. At our clinic, teeth whitening is performed by our expert dentists, allowing our patients to achieve the whiteness they desire.

The top layer of teeth is called enamel. Organic and inorganic substances that form in the enamel layer are removed with substances such as carbamide peroxide. This allows teeth to appear whiter. At our clinic, our dentists successfully whiten teeth without damaging the surface. Your teeth will achieve a whiter appearance without the need for a crown.

How Is Teeth Whitening Done?

At our Ataşehir clinic, teeth whitening is a highly sought-after procedure due to its painlessness and ability to achieve desired results. Our clinic selects the most appropriate method based on the discoloration of our patients' teeth. Depending on the discoloration, either a single method or a combination of methods are used.

The following methods are used for teeth whitening:

· At-home teeth whitening: In this method, trays are prepared by taking impressions of the patient's teeth. Whitening gel is placed inside the trays. The patient wears these trays for at least 4-6 hours during the day or during sleep. This treatment typically achieves the desired whiteness in approximately 10-15 days.

· Office teeth whitening: In this method, the patient's teeth are whitened in-office. In the clinic, the dentist applies the whitening gel to the patient's teeth and activates the gel with laser beams. The teeth whitening process takes approximately one hour.

· Combined teeth whitening: If the patient has severe discoloration, both home and office teeth whitening procedures are performed simultaneously. Following the in-office whitening procedure, which is performed in a clinic setting, the patient uses the prepared trays at home as directed for a few days.

· Single tooth whitening: Individuals with dental fillings may experience differences in tooth shade. In this case, the filling is removed, and tooth whitening gel is applied to the opened area. This process is continued for three days to eliminate any difference in shade between teeth.

Is the Teeth Whitening Effect Permanent?

Teeth whitening is available for individuals whose teeth are not as white as they desire. This allows them to achieve their desired shade. When considering how long the effects of teeth whitening at the Istanbul Ataşehir Clinic last, the color may begin to fade over time, depending on the individual's dietary habits. To prevent this, individuals should avoid colored, acidic, and harmful beverages such as cola, tea, coffee, and wine. Furthermore, regular brushing is effective in maintaining the color. Maintaining good oral hygiene also helps prevent future dental disease.

To ensure long-lasting results from teeth whitening at our Ataşehir dental clinic, it's recommended to repeat the procedure every six months or two. This way, you can maintain your teeth's whiteness without losing it. If your teeth are yellowing, discolored, or not the white you desire, please contact our clinic. Our expert dentists can help you achieve the whiter shade you desire.
