Dental aesthetics
We all want bright white teeth. Getting a nice smile is a goal you can reach quickly.
Why do my teeth turn yellow?
Yellowing of the teeth may be due to multiple causes. Among the most common are the consumption of drinks (tea, red wine, coffee) and extremely colorful foods. Antibiotic use during childhood, aging, trauma and smoking are also contributing causes.
What is tooth whitening?
Dental whitening is a process that helps clear up any yellowing of the teeth. Natural ingredients decompose to remove stains, giving you a bright smile.
How long will the bleaching last?
The duration of the bleaching depends on the eating habits but the average duration is 3 years.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide bleaches under the supervision of a dentist are perfectly safe for teeth and gums.
What are the treatment steps?
Regardless of the technique used, the bleaching gel (hydrogen peroxide) once deposited on the teeth will decompose. The oxygen thus released will penetrate the enamel and dentine to remove the stains.
What are the side effects ?
Most patients have none. Nevertheless, some people feel a temporary sensitivity (more or less sensitivity to heat or cold). These effects disappear a few hours after stopping treatment. You can also ask your dentist for a desensitizing gel that will help reduce discomfort.
After how long are the results visible?
Depending on the treatment method chosen by your dentist, you will get visible results between the 1st and the 14th day of treatment.
