What is Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of the teeth and removing stains or discoloration to enhance the appearance of the smile. It is a popular treatment for patients seeking a brighter, more youthful-looking smile.
Causes for discoloured teeth:
Extrinsic Stains: Surface stains on the teeth brought on by things like smoking, drinking red wine, coffee, or tea, or by not practicing good oral hygiene.
Discolouration that develops inside the tooth structure as a result of ageing, genetics, certain drugs, or too much fluoride exposure during tooth formation is known as intrinsic discolouration.
Consultation:
Comprehensive oral examination: To ascertain the reason and degree of discolouration and confirm the patient’s eligibility for teeth whitening, the dentist evaluates the state of the teeth and gums.
Review of dental history: To customise the whitening treatment plan, the patient’s dental history is examined, including any prior procedures, oral hygiene practices, and concerns.
Discussion of available treatments: A range of teeth-whitening alternatives, including in-office and at-home whitening procedures, are offered based on the results of the examination and the patient’s objectives.
Available Treatments:
In-Office Whitening: To speed up the whitening procedure, a professional-grade whitening gel is put to the teeth and activated with a specific light or laser. In a single visit, this option usually yields immediate results.
At-Home Whitening: The patient receives whitening gel and specially fitted trays to use at home. To gradually whiten the teeth, the trays are worn every day for a predetermined amount of time, typically one to two weeks.
Aftercare:
Avoiding staining agents: To extend the whitening results, limit your intake of foods and drinks that can discolour your teeth, such as tobacco, coffee, tea, and red wine.
To avoid plaque development and preserve oral health, practise good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing every day and scheduling routine dental examinations and cleanings.
Touch-up procedures: For patients who frequently drink staining agents, periodic touch-up procedures may be advised to preserve the smile’s brightness over time.

Advantages of Dental Teeth Whitening:
Improved appearance: Whitening teeth can greatly increase a smile’s brightness and general appearance, which in turn can increase self-esteem and confidence.
Non-invasive: Since teeth whitening is a cosmetic process that doesn’t need anaesthesia or the extraction of tooth structure, it’s a safe and practical choice for a lot of people.
Fast results: While at-home teeth whitening procedures deliver gradual but detectable whitening over time, in-office procedures can produce rapid effects in a single visit.
