Bleaching
In today's society, teeth must not only be healthy but also beautiful. To achieve this, the magic word is Bleaching. "Bleaching" is the English term for teeth whitening, and everyone is familiar with it from advertisements. The ads promise a dazzling white smile that lasts for many years, and we'll tell you how to achieve it.
Brilliant white teeth in just one hour!
Today, white, sparkling teeth are considered a symbol of health and success. Unfortunately, teeth don't always stay as beautiful and bright as they were in childhood.
Teeth undergo a natural aging process. Over the years, the enamel becomes thinner, and the darker inner layers of the tooth become more visible. Color pigments from nicotine, red wine, coffee, or tea also accumulate in the enamel over the years, causing the teeth to turn yellow.
At our practice, we therefore offer two safe and gentle procedures that result in permanent teeth whitening:
How it works
At our practice, we primarily use the In-Office Teeth Whitening or Power Whitening . In this case, the whitening process is complete after about 1 hour.
Alternatively, you can also use a At-Home Teeth Whitening possible.
Power Whitening
This method uses a light-activation system that operates in the blue-green wavelength spectrum. This light emits very little heat and no harmful UV rays. Combined with our low-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel, ranging from 15 % to 30 %, this method is one of the safest treatments available in dentistry.
The gel is applied to the teeth, exposed to light from a special UV whitening lamp, and after just 1 hour, the teeth are up to 3–4 shades lighter, with results that last 2–3 years.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
If you decide to undergo at-home teeth whitening, a clear plastic tray will be custom-made to hold the whitening gel, which you'll wear overnight for one to two weeks.
Results
Age is not a factor when it comes to teeth whitening, and everyone can treat themselves to the luxury of beautiful teeth. However, since old fillings and dental crowns cannot be whitened, they should be replaced after the whitening procedure—if present—and matched to the new tooth color.
Bleaching: only with the dentist!
Experts at the University Hospital of Zurich warn against using teeth-whitening products from pharmacies and drugstores without professional guidance. Often, when consumers attempt to whiten their teeth on their own, they do not achieve the desired results and may even damage their enamel and gums.
Choosing the right teeth-whitening method and having it done correctly by a dentist are crucial for optimal results!
