DENTAL WHITENING IN CLINIC<\/h3>\n
Dental whitening in the clinic is a very effective and comfortable treatment for the patient with good results. This type of whitening is performed in our Plymouth dental clinic<\/a> in a single session of approximately 45 minutes.<\/p>\n Teeth whitening at home is one of the longest-lasting treatments. This is done using a personalized splint and a whitening gel which is applied at night, for about two weeks.<\/p>\n Combination teeth whitening is a type of treatment that combines teeth whitening in the clinic with teeth whitening at home.\u00a0With the combination of both treatments, better results are obtained and that these are more durable.<\/p>\n What is really important is everything that needs to be done before starting a whitening treatment, and that is what will allow us to later achieve the results but in a relatively simple, even predictable way, and above all safe for our patients.<\/p>\n Detect the exclusion factors.\u00a0If you are going to be able to whiten, but firstly everything that can make whitening can not work as well as it should be taken into account.\u00a0In the clinical and radiological examination, highlight those clinical situations such as lesions in poor condition, which must be treated and solved prior to the bleaching treatment.<\/p>\n Know the colour of the teeth of our patient, by taking colour, quantifying this through a numerical value. Colour guides (obtaining colour subjectively) or spectrophotometers (obtaining colour objectively) can be used<\/p>\n Reduce the number of foods with strong pigments, such as tobacco, coffee, red wine, etc. With these foods, the whitening is not stopped, but the whitening is slower.<\/p>\n Before performing any type of teeth whitening<\/a>, professional dental hygiene<\/a> is performed.\u00a0In this way, it is ensured to act on a sanitized mouth free of plaque.<\/p>\n In-clinic teeth whitening consists of the following steps:<\/p>\n Between sessions, and at the end, teeth are washed with water to remove the remnants of whitening gel and to rehydrate the tissues.<\/p>\n Teeth whitening causes pain, what it can cause is dental hypersensitivity.\u00a0This is related to the passage of hydrogen peroxide through the enamel and dentin, which produces slight pulp irritation.\u00a0For this reason, whitening is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled dental hypersensitivity.<\/p>\n However, there are a number of situations in which our dentist may not recommend teeth whitening.\u00a0Such cases can be:<\/p>\n The presence of cavities must receive restorative treatment before performing the aesthetic treatment since it is not possible for the whitening product to penetrate a dental structure affected by bacteria.<\/p>\n If there is any alteration or pathology of the gums, such as gingivitis or periodontitis, in the case of this second pathology, great caution must be taken and it can cause a greater degree of dental sensitivity after the whitening treatment.<\/p>\n Patient with the presence or prone to tooth sensitivity, due to ingestion of very cold or hot food or beverages.<\/p>\n Some types of stains.\u00a0For example, in being intrinsic stains caused by tetracyclines (antibiotic) since these types of stains do not disappear or improve with teeth whitening.<\/p>\n Tooth whitening has no effect on unnatural teeth, such as the presence of restorations, crowns<\/a>, bridges<\/a> or prostheses<\/a>. In this case, if the whitening is carried out, these prostheses must be changed in order to achieve the same colour of the cavity.<\/p>\n Another case in which teeth whitening<\/a> is not recommended is when the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.\u00a0And finally, if the patient has not reached 18 years of age, since there can still be changes since the development is not completely finished.<\/p>\n No treatment is forever. The success of teeth whitening and its longevity depends on the habits of the patient. Depending on the type of whitening and the patient, whitening times vary. For the dental whitening in the clinic, the minimum time of duration would be approximately 6 months. Home and combined teeth whitening usually last an average of 2 years.<\/p>\n It is necessary to count on the fact not always by means of whitening it is possible to achieve the desired tooth tone as well as the adverse effects of the tone that is achieved also depends on the person. Therefore, the prior assessment of the dental aesthetic specialist<\/a> is essential, who will advise us of the best system to achieve the desired tone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HOW TO HAVE WHITE TEETH?
