Teeth Whitening Treatment in Navi Mumbai

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a process used to lighten the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. It involves applying a chemical agent, such as Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide, that breaks down stain-producing chromogens on the surface of your teeth. This procedure is also known as bleaching.

Why Do I Need to Whiten My Teeth?

  • Intrinsic Tooth Staining: Removes deep stains that affect the natural color of your teeth.
  • Aesthetics: Enhances the appearance of your smile by making your teeth look whiter.
  • Fluorosis: Reduces the visibility of pitting and yellow stains caused by excessive fluoride.
  • Tetracycline Staining: Lessens the appearance of stains caused by tetracycline antibiotics.
  • Tobacco Staining: Diminishes stains caused by smoking or chewing tobacco.

What is a Dental Stain?

Dental stains are discolorations on the surface of your teeth caused by various factors. They can affect one or multiple teeth and are categorized into two types:

  • Extrinsic Stains: These are common stains on the external surface of the teeth, often caused by consuming certain foods and beverages or smoking.
  • Intrinsic Stains: These stains occur within the tooth structure and are not removable through regular brushing or mechanical cleaning.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration in Adults?

1. Extrinsic Staining:

  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Frequent consumption of sugary and acidic drinks like coffee, cola, tea, and red wine
  • Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque buildup
  • Use of mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine

2. Intrinsic Staining:

  • Trauma to the tooth causing discoloration from pulp necrosis or internal resorption
  • Conditions like enamel hypoplasia, fluorosis, amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta, and porphyria
  • Staining from tetracycline antibiotics
  • Additionally, aging can lead to enamel thinning, which can make teeth appear yellowish rather than stained.

What is the Process of the Treatment?

  • Initial Consultation: Our dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine your suitability for whitening and discuss your treatment goals.
  • Preparation: Teeth are cleaned, and a protective barrier is applied to your gums.
  • Application: A whitening gel is applied to your teeth. This gel is activated by a special light or laser to enhance its effectiveness.
  • Completion: The whitening agent is removed, and the results are evaluated.

Typically, whitening requires one to three appointments, depending on the severity of the stains and the desired level of whiteness.

Types of Whitening Treatments:

  • Non-Vital Whitening: For teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. A bleaching agent is placed inside the tooth to achieve the desired color.
  • Vital Whitening: For natural, healthy teeth. The bleaching solution is applied directly to the tooth surface and can be performed in-office or with at-home kits.

How Do I Whiten My Teeth at Home?

For at-home whitening, custom mouthpieces are created based on impressions of your teeth. These are filled with a whitening gel and worn for several hours daily, typically over one to four weeks.

In-Office Teeth Whitening Treatments :

In-office treatments use a more potent whitening gel activated by a special light or laser. This method is faster and provides immediate results, often requiring 30 to 90 minutes per session.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening:

  • Bright Smile: Enhances the aesthetics of your smile, making your teeth look brighter and more attractive.
  • Removal of Stains: Effectively eliminates stains and discoloration from the surface of your teeth.

When Might the Treatment Not Work?

Teeth whitening is effective for natural teeth but does not alter the color of dental prosthetics such as dentures or crowns. It also cannot provide a new color shade but only lightens the existing shade.

Oral Care After the Treatment:

  • Avoid staining foods and beverages, like coffee and red wine.
  • Maintain regular oral hygiene with brushing and flossing.
  • Visit your dentist every six months for check-ups.

Risks and Considerations:

  • Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity.
  • Teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 6 years or pregnant/lactating women.

When to Call a Professional:

If you experience significant discomfort or have questions about the whitening process, consult with your dentist. They can provide personalized advice and help you achieve your desired smile.
