What is tooth whitening?

Tooth whitening is a treatment that allows us to lighten the tone of the teeth for an ideal aesthetic result.

It is very important that it is carried out and supervised by a professional, who first of all knows how to diagnose each case to indicate the ideal treatment.

Teeth Whitening is Fast, Safe and Long Lasting.

Does it damage enamel?

Tooth whitening does not damage tooth enamel. There are many scientific studies on the matter and that is why it is an approved treatment in all countries of the world. Millions of people today have a radiant and beautiful smile thanks to teeth whitening.

Is it a painful treatment?

Sensitivity is a side effect that can occur in some patients. However, it is transient and controllable. We can reduce the risk of sensitivity by using a desensitizing rinse and paste at least one week before starting the teeth whitening treatment. In the most severe cases, common pain relievers may be indicated.

How long will the Whitening last?

The results of teeth whitening can last for many years. This will depend largely on the patient’s habits (tobacco consumption, coffee, etc.). It is difficult for the teeth to return to their original color, but regular cleanings are always recommended.

What Teeth Whitening options do you recommend?

Office whitening (laser)

In-office whitening is done by placing a whitening gel on the surface of the teeth that is activated by a laser light source. The session lasts approximately 45 minutes and the patient may require from one to 3 sessions to achieve the ideal result.

home whitening

This is done by the patient, at home, using plastic splints made by the dentist from a mold of their teeth, and a whitening gel. The patient must use the splints and the gel for an average of 2 weeks.

mixed whitening

It is a combination of office whitening and home whitening. Usually 2 laser sessions are performed plus a week of whitening at home, so that the results are faster and more visible. The trained dentist is the one who will suggest the ideal whitening modality for each case.
