Dental Whitening at Office

It is performed in an office, with the dentist controlling the application of the whitening gel solely on the tooth surface. An LED light is also used to accelerate the chemical reaction of the whitening gel and enhance the result.

Home Whitening Kit

In this technique, personalized drips are prepared in which the patient places the whitening gel in the comfort of their home and uses it while sleeping (about 7 to 8 hours a day). In general, this home treatment is carried out for 15 days.

Combined technique

As a rule, our technique of choice is the combined technique in which the patient undergoes a Dental Whitening session in the office, followed by the use of drips with whitening gel at home. Through this technique, there is greater predictability and stability of results in the long term.

FAQs

FAQs

As long as it is carried out and monitored by a Dentist, tooth whitening is a very safe procedure and does not damage or destroy your tooth enamel.

A teeth whitening session lasts approximately 1h to 1h30. Understand a little about the Dental Whitening process during this hour:
1st. These are photographs taken intraorally, so that there is a reference of the color of the initial tooth to later be compared with the final color of the tooth after whitening,
2nd. Vaseline is placed on your lips to keep them hydrated and protected throughout the session.
3rd. A lip retractor is placed, with the aim of removing the mucous membranes so that there is no contact with the whitening gel,
4th. A gum protector is applied to isolate the gums around the teeth to prevent contact with the gel.
5th. The whitening cycles then begin, where the whitening gel is applied to the tooth surfaces for 15 minutes. During this step, an LED light is always used for enhancing or whitening. The number of cycles to be performed will depend on some factors that must always be evaluated by the Dentist.
6th. Finally, a desensitizing gel is placed for 10 minutes, with the aim of reducing the risk of tooth sensitivity after whitening.

After carrying out the first treatment, it is recommended to “refresh” the Home Dental Whitening every 6 months, with the aim of maintaining the stability of the results obtained.

 
Before Whitening

Before Dental Whitening, you must carry out a clinical assessment of your oral health and check whether there are any dental conditions that require treatment, such as tooth decay. A scaling should also be performed in order to remove all existing plaque, tartar and pigmentation. If indicated, it may also be necessary to carry out a desensitizing treatment before whitening.

After Whitening

For 48 hours, you must avoid consuming acidic drinks or foods that can pigment your teeth, such as coffee, tea, curry, natural juices, wine, soft drinks, red fruits and tomato sauce. Tobacco should also be avoided.

If you are unable to comply with these instructions, you should brush your teeth after consuming the aforementioned drinks or foods or rinse with water or mouthwash.

No, Tooth Whitening is contraindicated in cases of severe periodontal disease, caries lesions, pregnant or breastfeeding patients and those under 18 years of age. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out your evaluation consultation first so that we can advise and clarify all your doubts.

No, the whitening gel only acts on the surface of the teeth and does not influence the color of restored teeth or crowns. Therefore, in order to prevent you from having different shades between your natural and restored teeth after Whitening, a prior assessment is necessary so that the possible exchange of restorations after Whitening can be discussed.

Yes, it is possible to whiten devitalized teeth by placing the whitening gel inside the tooth. However, it is always necessary to assess the feasibility of this treatment at the evaluation consultation.

The procedure is painless, safe and effective if carried out with all the precautions mentioned above. If you are a patient with previous sensitivity, it is normal to feel some discomfort in the first few days, but it is only temporary.

It is not recommended to carry out home whitening using “natural” products. These products are highly abrasive and damage the structure of the tooth, which can cause tooth erosion, gum recession and tooth sensitivity. Because they are abrasive, they remove superficial stains, which causes a false sensation that the tooth has whitened, however, the internal color of the tooth remains the same. Therefore, it is always best to consult with our team whether you may be a candidate for safe Dental Whitening carried out by qualified professionals.
