The process stages consist of several steps. These steps,

– These procedures are applied to dry and clean teeth. Therefore, the session is started by making sure that the patient’s teeth are clean and dry.

– A special gel is applied to the meat of the clean and dry teeth. This gel is a thin but protective gel. This gel ensures that the gums are not affected by the rays.

– Then, the gel is applied to every point that is desired to be whitened on the teeth. This gel is applied as a layer with the help of brushes.

– After the gel application is completed, a special ray is applied to the teeth.

After continuing the process for a while, the session is completed and the applied gels are cleaned from the teeth and the process is completed.

How Does Office Bleaching Work?

The gel used in teeth whitening has a special content and the ray allows it to penetrate the teeth better, thus increasing its effect. In this way, the color of the teeth is lightened and whitening is achieved.

How is Home Teeth Whitening Applied?

Home teeth whitening, also known as home bleaching, is a whitening process applied to patients who cannot find time for every session for office bleaching and whose yellowing problem in their teeth is not very intense. In this process, the patient applies the process himself with a plate that will do the whitening.

The application stages of home teeth whitening are as follows.

First, it is necessary to consult a dentist and have a dental examination. The degree of yellowing problem in the teeth is determined by dental examination. The number of applications required for the whitening process and the amount of gel to be used are determined by this determination. Measurements and models are taken from the teeth. A plate is produced from a special material in accordance with this measurement and model. The plate produced, the application gel is given to the patient and all the details of how to apply it and how long to apply it are explained. The patient performs the whitening process in his own home when he is available by following these explanations exactly.

In the home bleaching process, a sufficient amount of special gel is applied to the prepared plate and the plate is placed on the teeth and waited. The waiting period is slightly longer than office-type whitening since it does not use light.

The mechanism of action is the same as office bleaching.

What is Internal Teeth Whitening?

It is a permanent whitening process applied during and after the root canal treatment. In this process, the whitening gel is left inside the tooth and continued in sessions until the desired whiteness is achieved. Whitening is achieved in this way.

The application is done as follows,

– When the root canal treatment is completed, the gel is applied before the teeth are closed with a filling and a temporary filling is applied. In other sessions, the gel application continues through the hole opened from the temporary filling. In this way, teeth whitening is achieved.

Sometimes, teeth may turn yellow after root canal treatment. In this case, the filling of the teeth covered with filling is carved in the form of a small point and the same whitening gel is left inside the tooth from the carved point and the procedures are performed in sessions until whitening is achieved. After the whitening is done, the hole opened with the permanent filling is closed and the teeth are whitened from the inside.

Office and Home Type Teeth Whitening

This treatment method is applied to patients whose teeth are very yellow and whose teeth are stained heavily. In office and home type whitening, which is an intensive treatment method, the patient continues the teeth whitening process with the prepared plates at home in order to support the teeth whitening processes performed by the doctor in the clinic. In addition to the bleaching process to be applied once a week in the clinic, the patient also applies the application in a way that averages the sessions and an intense effect is created on the teeth and the effect of the process started in the clinic is maintained until the next office procedure. In this way, the results are more successful.
