TYPES OF Crowns &bridges

In-Office

Significant color change in a short time is the major benefit of in-office whitening. This protocol involves the carefully controlled use of a relatively high-concentration peroxide gel, applied to the teeth by the dentist or trained technician after the gums have been protected with a paint-on rubber dam. Duration: Generally, the peroxide remains on the teeth for several 15 to 20-minute intervals that add up to an hour (at most).

Professionally Dispensed Take Home Kits

Take-home kits incorporate an easy-to-use lower-concentration peroxide gel. The lower the peroxide percentage, the longer it may safely remain on the teeth. The gel is applied to the teeth using custom-made bleaching trays that resemble mouth guards. Duration: It remains on the teeth for an hour or longer (sometimes overnight).

Over-The-Counter Products

Over-the-counter bleaching involves the use of a store-bought whitening kit, featuring a bleaching gel with a concentration lower than that of the professionally dispensed take-home whiteners. The gel is applied to the teeth via one-size-fits-all trays, strips, or paint-on applicators.

BEFORE AND AFTER

DURING THE PROCEDURE

Applying a gel

The dentist applies a gel made of 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide to your front teeth. Hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the porous outer layer of your teeth and break apart stain compounds using a chemical reaction called oxidation.

Applying high-powered light

Depending on the whitening system being used, the application of the whitening gel may be followed by applying a high-powered light that speeds up the whitening process.

Reapplication of gel

Most systems involve multiple applications of the gel throughout the whitening session. The dentist will rinse off the gel and reapply a fresh coat as many times as necessary within the space of about 40 minutes.

TAKING CARE of PROCEDURE

While the effects of whitening can last quite a while (months to years), depending on diet and other habits (like smoking!), the stains on teeth will eventually return.

Some dentists may recommend professional home whitening kits.

While over-the-counter kits from the drugstore are cheap and offer the convenience of at-home bleaching without a visit to the dentist, they are slower and less effective than professional whitening.

RISKS OF crowns and bridges

  • Sensitivity of the teeth and gums, particularly if using one of the higher-strength whitening agents.
  • Gum irritation.
  • Bleaching results cannot be guaranteed and will vary depending on your age, lifestyle, genetics, and the initial color and condition of your teeth.
  • If bleaching agents seep into your tooth through a crack or unfilled cavity, it can be extremely painful and cause internal tooth damage that may require further treatment such as a root canal.
  • You may also see uneven results with over-the-counter products.
  • Teeth whitening is not a permanent fix and how long results will last will vary depending on your age, genetics, and lifestyle.
  • Teeth that have suffered trauma from the inside, have been affected by fluorosis and those with inorganic stains may not be affected by whitening at all.
  • Over-whitening.
