Teeth whitening is a modern cosmetic dental procedure that makes teeth whiter, cleaner, and more aesthetic. The procedure is performed using special brightening agents — most commonly used are Hydrogen Peroxide and Carbamide Peroxide. These components penetrate the tooth enamel and break down the dark stains accumulated over time, which appear due to the following reasons:

·        Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, and red wine;

·        Tobacco use;

·        Insufficient oral hygiene;

·        Age-related changes that naturally reduce the whiteness of teeth;

Types of teeth whitening

There are several types of teeth whitening. It is important to note that a consultation with a dentist is necessary before whitening. The procedure always begins with a check-up of the condition of the teeth and gums.

Zoom whitening

Zoom is a combined type of whitening that includes several stages:

·        Cleaning the teeth;

·        Treatment with a special gel;

·        Treatment with fluoride-containing preparations to protect the tooth tissue.

Zoom whitening is very popular because the procedure lasts only a few minutes and the result is visible quickly. The achieved effect is long-lasting if you follow the dentist's recommendations.

Ultrasonic whitening

Ultrasonic whitening is an instrumental method and is considered one of the gentlest options for teeth whitening, which makes it suitable even for sensitive teeth. Through the action of ultrasonic waves, stains, plaque, calculus, and food debris are effectively removed from the enamel surface.

After completing the procedure, the surface of the teeth is treated with special agents that protect the enamel from the effects of various substances. The resulting effect lasts for a long time, however, ultrasonic whitening only restores the natural whiteness of the teeth and is not considered a deep whitening method..

Laser teeth whitening

One of the most effective hardware-type whitening methods is laser whitening, which involves targeted laser action on the tooth tissue. The unique properties of the laser allow for deep-level whitening — not only on the surface of the enamel but also in the deep layers of the tooth. During laser whitening, the intensity of the effect is individually adjusted for each section of the tooth, depending on the degree of its staining. The result remains healthy for several years, and repeating the procedure is often unnecessary. A single session, asRule, does not exceed 60 minutes.

This whitening method can be used only if the patient has no teeth or gum problems. Even in cases where caries is present at an initial stage, treatment is carried out first. Laser whitening is considered the most effective, safe, and gentle method, which, compared to other types, provides a much more durable and long-lasting result.

Combined whitening

Combined whitening involves the application of chemical agents to tooth tissue. Chemical whitening is a deep-acting method that allows for the enamel color to be lightened by several shades.

During the procedure, the patient receives detailed instructions on how to carry out additional procedures at home, while correction and consolidation of the results take place at the dentist's office. Chemical whitening usually requires 1-3 sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes. The effect lasts 2-4 years, and if necessary, the procedure can be repeated without damaging the health of the teeth.
