Teeth whitening is a procedure that helps remove discoloration on teeth. Whitening procedures, which can be applied to any healthy tooth, do not cause any harm to the teeth and gums. There are two different applications for teeth whitening: plasma-light technology performed by the dentist in a clinical setting and home bleaching methods that the patient can apply at home. In order for the whitening effect to last for the longest time, it is best to do office and home bleaching together.
Home Bleaching
In this method that you can apply at home, first your mouth is measured by your dentist and thin silicone molds are prepared. You should apply whitening medication prescribed by your doctor to these molds and wear them for 6-8 hours, preferably while sleeping. This teeth whitening method you can do at home will provide you with the best results in approximately 1 to 4 weeks.
Plasma-Light Technology in Teeth Whitening
In this teeth whitening method applied by your dentist in a clinic setting, bleach containing hydrogen peroxide is first applied to the teeth. The intense light source activates the gel and whitens the teeth. You get instant and effective results. There are many different whitening drugs, the number of shades of whitening of the teeth, the subsequent sensitivity of the teeth and the permanence of the whiteness depend entirely on the quality of the material and plasma light source.
