At our clinic, teeth whitening procedures are performed by professional oral hygiene specialists. This is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, allowing everyone to enjoy a white and attractive smile. Over time, tooth enamel can darken for various reasons, but modern teeth whitening methods offered today allow for the quick and safe restoration of tooth whiteness.<\/p>

Why do our teeth lose their whiteness over time?<\/h4>

Changes in tooth color can be caused by many factors, such as:<\/p>

  • Dietary habits<\/strong>: Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, and red wine.<\/li>
  • Smoking<\/strong>: Tobacco is a strong pigment that darkens teeth.<\/li>
  • Medications and illnesses<\/strong>: The use of certain medications, such as antibiotics, can also affect tooth color.<\/li>
  • Age<\/strong>: Over the years, tooth enamel wears down, which can lead to darkening.<\/li>
  • Genetics<\/strong>: Heredity can also influence tooth color.<\/li><\/ul>

    Available types of whitening<\/h4>

    In-office whitening<\/strong> In-office whitening is performed in the dentist’s office. During the procedure, the gums are covered with a protective material, and the teeth are coated with a special whitening gel activated by cold blue light rays. Using a low temperature reduces tooth sensitivity. Fast and long-lasting results are achieved in a single visit.<\/p>

    At-home whitening with trays<\/strong> This method is designed for home use. The dentist takes dental impressions and produces custom trays that the patient uses with a whitening gel. The carbamide peroxide in the tray whitens the teeth over 10-14 days, using the trays for several hours a day, usually at night.<\/p>

    Philips Zoom system<\/strong> This is an advanced whitening method that uses a special whitening gel and the Philips Zoom lamp. This method is fast and effective, ensuring a long-lasting result.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

          Why is it worth whitening your teeth in the doctor’s office?<\/h4>

          When performing whitening procedures in the doctor’s office, the safest and most effective whitening methods are selected, taking into account the patient’s age, health status, and desired result. Professional oral hygiene is always performed before the procedure and, if necessary, cavities are treated.<\/p>

          How long do whitening results last?<\/h4>

          Teeth whitening results depend on a person’s hygiene habits, diet, and harmful habits. To achieve a long-lasting result, it is recommended to regularly perform professional oral hygiene and avoid consuming staining products.<\/p>
