Tooth discolouration can occur due to various reasons like ageing, injury or staining caused by smoking, drinking tea, coffee etc. Tooth whitening is a very effective dental treatment that has become more popular over the past few decades. There are several techniques to remove stains and discolouration from the teeth to make them brighter and whiter.
WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that involves bleaching teeth to make them look whiter. It is a very effective way to lighten the natural colour of the teeth without removing anything on the tooth surface.
Types of Teeth Whitening:
1. Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening is a bleaching procedure which involves the use of whitening gel and laser to brighten your teeth.
It involves the following steps for laser teeth whitening:
• A rubber or plastic prop will be placed inside your mouth to keep it open.
• Protective glasses will be provided to keep your eyes protected.
• A gum barrier will be added to protect the gums.
• Our dentists will apply whitening gel on your teeth.
• They will direct the laser on your teeth after a few minutes.
• The laser will heat the whitening gel and will activate its whitening properties.
• After the gum barrier is removed you can rinse the bleaching gel.
2 . Zoom Teeth Whitening
Zoom Teeth Whitening machine is used to lighten the discolouration of teeth which can be caused because of various factors like food, beverages, smoking, illness etc.
The whitening process first begins with the application of a hydrogen peroxide whitening solution. LED light-accelerated technology and gel whitens rapidly while Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP) helps deliver enamel protection, improve lustre, and reduce sensitivity. As hydrogen peroxide breaks down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin and whitens the teeth without affecting the enamel.
BENEFITS OF TEETH WHITENING:
