Tooth whitening
You know what? It is possible to make our teeth whiter for a dazzling smile! Does it seem like you brush and brush but your teeth don’t get whiter but actually less so?
Our teeth naturally stain more easily when we consume certain foods and drinks when we get older. Our gentle and effective method of tooth whitening can solve this problem.
We offer 2 kinds of whitening processes:
-
home bleaching(whitening)
We will make individually molded whitening trays from impressions of your teeth with which you can apply the whitening gel yourself over the course of a few days for a few hours at home. The trays are made exactly for your teeth and will keep the whitening material directly on the teeth. This home procedure when done following the easy instructions of your Astella dentist will produce comparable results to an in office whitening. The advantage of this type of whitening is the lower price, the advantage of doing it in the office is the time savings and experiencing the instantaneous effect.
-
BriteSmile
The revolutionary method we use is called BriteSmile which can whiten your teeth many shades. This method contains 3 procedures of 20 minutes each. The whitening gel is applied by a special monitoring program using a special blue light technology.
We must mention that there are some teeth that simply cannot be whitened due to shading or damage problems.
Also, it is necessary to have teeth without cavities and gums without inflammation before whitening. We recommend a professional dental cleaning a few days before the whitening and, as always, a complete consultation with an Astella dentist to assess the acceptability of the process for each individual.
One note, some people may experience an increased sensitivity of their teeth during the whitening process, however this does not indicate any problem and the discomfort can be easily alleviated with special dental ointments.
Similarly, the consumption of food or drinks with powerful staining properties, smoking and, for women, wearing colored lipsticks are not advisable while undergoing whitening.
What is necessary to know?
- Whitening is a long-lasting procedure, but it is not forever and the success, the final shade and longevity of the effect will be experienced on an individual basis.
- The shade of fillings, ceramic crowns or bridges is not affected by the whitening.
