Tooth whitening is the process of restoring teeth to
their natural whiteness by removing stains that have built up on and
within teeth. This process is also known as tooth bleaching. Tooth
bleaching involves three methods: home whitening kit, in-surgery power
or laser whitening, and porcelain laminate veneers. The first method,
which is done through the use of teeth whitening toothpaste or any
at-home teeth whitening products, does not require tooth
whitening dentist services. These products can be easily
applied and are available in the market. But unlike tooth
whitening dentist services, most of the products used in this
method do not give an immediate effect. Also, home whitening kit is
cheaper than tooth whitening
dentist services.
Tooth whitening dentist services are treatments that
are given to dental patients through the use of modern technologies and
special materials so as to provide an immediate noticeable effect.
Tooth whitening dentist services involves two
primary methods of whitening: the in-office whitening and the
supervised at-home whitening.
The first tooth whitening dentist services method,
which is the in-office whitening technique, is done through a
light–activated gel application. In this method, laser is used. The
procedure is called laser whitening. Laser whitening is a tooth whitening procedure performed by dentists
using a photosensitive gel and a dental light. The gel is activated by
a laser light which penetrates the teeth enamel. This causes the enamel
to reflect more light. This technique does not require a mold to be
cast. In this process, a translucent whitening gel is applied to the
teeth. This type of tooth whitening dentist service
requires one to two hours and may result in about eight shade
improvement. In-office whitening technique is a one visit tooth whitening dentist service.
Another tooth whitening dentist services method is
the supervised at-home whitening. This is less expensive but the
desired results are not achieved in just one session. This method
produces results via daily sessions over one or more weeks of wearing a
customized gel-filled tray appliance. Traditional tooth
whitening gels or trays usually contain a peroxide agent that
penetrates the tooth to get rid of stains from within. It can improve
color by up to 6 shades.
