In Surgery Teeth Whitening Treatment (Before & After)
-
What Does a Take-Home Whitening Kits look like?
The patient has a set of teeth impressions done during dental surgery. Next, the dental laboratory prepares an individual, thin, transparent overlay of the teeth. The patient then receives dose trays on the next dental visit together with a set of syringes and whitening agents at a concentration of 10% or 16% depending on the sensitivity of the teeth. The trays are fitted and the patient is instructed on how to apply the whitening gel. It is best to bleach the teeth at night or to wear the trays for a few hours during the day. Only after two applications, will the difference in teeth whiteness become apparent.

How does In Surgery Teeth Whitening Treatment look like?
Before the whitening procedure, we perform a deep cleaning, full scaling with sandblasting of the teeth. Next the Dentist covers the patient’s gums with a special light-gel, to protect them from direct contact with a whitening gel. The Dentist then prepares a 40% hydrogen peroxide solution to cover the patient’s teeth. It usually takes 10-15 minutes for the whitening activity to take place. This action is repeated three times. Each time the Dentist is removing a whitening gel layer and putting another one on instead. The whole procedure takes about 45 minutes.
-
Are these whitening methods permanent?
It is a semi-permanent treatment.
-
Is bleaching bad for your teeth?
Whitening using bleaching agents containing hydrogen peroxide is not harmful, does not cause any chemical changes in the structure of the tooth, nor weaken the resistance to decay, and it does not causes inflammation of the pulp.
-
Can adverse reactions occur?
For people with sensitive teeth a hypersensitivity experience may occur, especially a few hours after whitening sessions are performed in the clinic.

What is the difference between Surgery Teeth Whitening Procedures from whitening toothpaste bought in pharmacies and drugstores?
Toothpastes contain abrasives: silica, diamond dust and baking soda to polish the surface of the teeth and remove surface sediments. If you use them a few times it may give you a satisfactory result. However, it is not recommended to use this type of toothpaste on a regular basis, as this may cause abrasion the surface of the teeth. In particular, those who have the neck of their teeth exposed (these are those places that are no longer protected by the hard enamel) must avoid abrasive pastes sold as a whitening toothpaste.
In Surgery Teeth Whitening involves trade-controlled liberation of simple chemical processes within the stains which have penetrated the tooth structure. Our teeth, as a result of aging and "ill-treatment", gather in their micropores organic compounds from coffee, tea, wine, cola and orange juice etc. Using these preparatory methods we can invoke the breakdown of complex organic compounds to CO2 and H2O. So, chemically speaking, the process is safe and predictable and as a result the tooth colour becomes white.
-
Can I bleach dead teeth?
Yes, but only if the discoloration arose from external influences i.e. wine, tea, coffee etc. These require a different kind of internal bleaching. The bleaching process is not fully predictable when dealing with porcelain bridges, crowns and filling. That is why sometimes it is worth replacing any visible bridges, crowns or fillings with ones that better suit the new colour of your teeth. This is to be done no sooner than 2 weeks after the bleaching treatment, as the colour and translucency of the teeth may not have settled until after this time.
-
How to proceed after the Whitening Treatment?
You should avoid foods and beverages which may discolour your teeth for at least two weeks after the treatment. The spots should be filled with a reinforcing enamel mineral substance contained in the saliva or supplied by the paste and mouthwashes care.
