Teeth Whitening in Yokine

Knowing the different procedures available can be helpful if you are considering teeth whitening. To choose the proper whitening method, you should first consult your dentist. Here are some of the most popular teeth bleaching methods:

• In-chair bleaching
  In-chair bleaching requires only one trip to the dentist in most cases. Dental professionals may apply a soothing gel to patients’ gums or use rubber shields to protect them. Following this, the dentist will bleach the teeth for a couple of cycles, depending on how fast your teeth lightens.
  
  
• At-home bleaching
  For at-home whitening, a dentist can create a custom tray for the patient. The bleaching solution is placed in the tray and must be worn for a specific length of time as directed by the dentist. If you want to whiten your teeth at home, this may be the ideal option. This type of teeth whitening method may require several days or even a few weeks to complete.
  
  
• Over-the-counter products
  On the shelves of most stores, bleaching toothpaste and strips are readily available. These are available in grocery stores or online. In contrast to the bleaching agents employed by friendly dentists in the office, these products typically contain fewer bleaching agents. An over-the-counter bleaching kit must be discussed with your dentist if you plan to use it. Generally, tested products are recommended. Thus, you will have a better chance of finding one that works for you.

Tooth discolouration is a common problem that is caused by a variety of factors. Some of the reasons for tooth discolouration include:

• A poor dental hygiene routine:
  One of the leading causes of tooth discolouration is neglecting to brush and floss every day. If you do not brush or floss regularly, bacteria and food particles build up in your mouth and teeth, causing stains.
  
  
• Use of tobacco:
  Smokers face challenges when it comes to their oral health. By chewing or smoking tobacco, you increase your chances of developing teeth discolouration, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
  
  
• Some foods and beverages:
  You can stain your teeth by drinking coffee, tea, wine, soda, and other juices due to their acidity. Apples, beets, and tomatoes can also cause discolouration. The same foods that can stain your clothes can also stain your teeth, so make sure to avoid brightly coloured candy, popsicles, and so on.
  
  
• Natural aging:
  As we age, the enamel of our teeth wears away, making the dentin visible. Since dentin is yellow in colour, it makes teeth turn yellow.
  
  
• Some medical conditions:
  The enamel of your teeth might become discoloured because of certain medical conditions. Metabolic diseases, calcium deficiencies, liver disease, rickets, and celiac disease are among these conditions.
  
  
• Medications:
  The side effect of some antihistamines, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications is tooth darkening. Discolouration of teeth can also result from receiving radiation or chemotherapy to the head or neck.
  
  
• Genetics:
  Some people are born lucky with white, healthy smile, while others are not. Genetics determines the thickness and brightness of enamel, which affects the colour of teeth.
  
  
• Traumatic injury:
  Discoloration can result when a tooth is chipped or otherwise damaged by a blunt force. Children are often affected, although it may also occur in adults.

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure performed at home or in the dentist’s office. The bleaching agents used in whitening treatments contain peroxide. Using teeth-whitening products, peroxide dissolves organic stains on the teeth, changing their colour and producing a whiter teeth. When this substance comes into contact with the tooth enamel, it helps break up stains and discolouration, giving you the whiter and brighter smile you’ve always wanted.

Generally, teeth whitening treatments are considered safe. However, if you’re opting for at-home bleaching, it is essential to follow the directions carefully and not overuse the bleaching peroxide agent, which can damage the teeth. Overusing peroxide comes with its own set of risks too. Using a lot of whitening products with a high concentration will make your teeth dry out, which will make them darker over time. It’s best to always talk to your dentist about how you should approach your treatment to reduce risks

Teeth whitening can cause tooth sensitivity and pain in the gums and tongue. Furthermore, there is a possibility of over-whitening, resulting in a translucency that may seem grey when viewed from the shadows of the mouth. Typically, this only happens if the bleaching process is over-extended. 

Take-home whitening can pose a small risk of ingesting the gel, which may cause nausea, burning, and vomiting. There is a very slim chance that this will happen since your teeth-whitening tray should fit almost perfectly around your teeth. 

It is recommended to leave your teeth whitening treatments in the hands of a professional dentist, as peroxide in teeth-whitening products can burn your gums if they are not properly protected.

With professional in-chair teeth whitening from an experienced dentist, faster and more reliable results are achieved. Under controlled conditions, in-chair treatments can be safely performed because they use a special gel containing high concentration of hydrogen peroxide or other whitening chemicals.

Depending on the severity of your case, your dentist can recommend teeth whitening treatment and help you clean your teeth before applying the gel for an even and consistent whitening result. In-chair teeth whitening treatment usually takes around one hour and may be done in several stages depending on the desired shade.

On the other hand, at-home bleaching will start showing results in about a week; maximum results will be visible in approximately two to four weeks. Furthermore, whitening results will vary depending on how much peroxide you use and how long you wear them.

Clear Choice Dental offers fast, affordable, and effective teeth whitening services that dramatically improve your smile. These results can last for a year or a little longer. But that’s only if you take good care of your pearly whites. It’s especially necessary to keep an eye on what you eat and drink right after having your teeth whitened if you want the results to last. Here are four things you should avoid right after getting your teeth whitened:

• Coffee, wine, and soda
  Have drinks like coffee, wine, and soda played a part in your decision to whiten your teeth? Some of these popular beverages are the main causes of tooth discolouration. All of them contain dark pigments that find their way into the tiny pits in your teeth, causing staining. Furthermore, these drinks contain high levels of acid, which weaken the enamel and make it easier for dark-coloured particles to stain your teeth.
  
  
• Consuming acidic foods
  As part of the whitening process, your enamel is weakened slightly to lift stains from your teeth. You will gradually regain the strength of your enamel following your whitening treatment for several days. On the other hand, eating acidic foods right after may weaken your teeth even more and make them extra sensitive to temperature. Acidic foods that you should avoid consuming include citrus fruits, tomatoes, and pickled foods.
  
  
• Dark-coloured fruits and vegetables
  As we know, fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamins and nutrients good for your teeth. Nevertheless, a few can quickly stain your newly whitened teeth because of their acidic nature and dark particles. To keep your teeth sparkling, you should avoid eating dark-coloured fruits and vegetables like berries, beets, cherries, and pomegranates.

The cost depends on the condition and colour of your teeth at the time. We recommend scheduling an appointment to have your teeth checked so our dentist can give you an estimate of how much the dental treatment cost. Additionally, any cavities or signs of decay must be addressed first before using bleaching treatments on your teeth.

A teeth whitening is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment that could cost between \$260 and \$280 per tooth with a single dental appointment.

Whether you use an at-home whitening kit or an in-office whitening procedure, there is a chance that the chemicals used in teeth whitening will make your gums sensitive. This is especially true if you already have sensitive teeth. Also, there is a possibility of burns on the gums, and some whitening kits can damage the enamel of the teeth. You can reduce these issues if you get your teeth whitening treatments from a knowledgeable dental professional.

Many alternatives to teeth whitening are available and can achieve the same results for a bright and perfect smile. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals to determine which treatment is best for you. Listed below are some of the alternatives to the teeth whitening procedure:

• Tooth Bonding:
  In cosmetic dentistry, tooth bonding consists of bonding a composite resin to the natural tooth surface. A resin-filled tooth can look almost identical to a real one, making it difficult to tell that you have had work done on your teeth. The front of the tooth will be covered, giving it a more appealing appearance.
  
  
• Porcelain Veneers:
  A porcelain veneer is a thin cover that is bonded over the tooth. With porcelain material, you can conceal discolouration or other cosmetic issues, giving the appearance of natural teeth. As with your natural teeth, the veneers are strong enough to function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, drink, and speak without any inconvenience.
  
  
• Lumineers:
  In comparison to porcelain veneers, Lumineers are made of ceramic material. Lumineers are made in a dental lab outside of the clinic. An impression of your teeth will be taken by our dentist and sent to the Lumineers lab, which creates a custom veneer to fit perfectly over your teeth. Our dentist will then bond the veneer to your natural teeth for maximum support and comfort.
  
  
• Dental Crowns:
  Dental crowns are a good option if you need both cosmetic and restorative dental work done on your teeth. The dental crown covers the entire tooth rather than just the front or sides, which is why they are used when more than just the front of the tooth has been damaged. Putting this cap in place will restore the tooth’s functionality and appearance. In addition, you’ll be able to retain your natural teeth longer.
