Dental Bleach

Dental bleach treatment, also known as teeth whitening, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to lighten the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. It is a popular treatment for those who want to improve their smile and boost their confidence.  

Here’s how it works:

  1. Assessment: Your dentist will examine your teeth to determine the best treatment option and discuss your goals.  
  2. Preparation: Your teeth may be cleaned and polished to remove surface stains.
  3. Application: A bleaching agent, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied to your teeth. This agent breaks down the stains and lightens the color.  
  4. Activation: In some cases, a special light or heat may be used to activate the bleaching agent and speed up the process.  
  5. Results: The results can vary depending on the severity of the discoloration and the treatment method used. Typically, you can expect to see noticeable whitening within a few sessions.

There are two main types of dental bleach treatment:

  • In-office whitening: This is performed by a dentist in their office and usually involves stronger bleaching agents and faster results.  
  • At-home whitening: This involves wearing custom-made trays filled with a bleaching agent for a set amount of time each day.  

It’s important to note that dental bleach treatment may not be suitable for everyone. If you have sensitive teeth, gum disease, or certain dental restorations, your dentist may advise against it.
