Bleaching is a common and popular process used to whiten teeth using chemicals(peroxide).
Teeth get discoloured due to various reasons, bleaching is done to whiten such teeth. Discoloration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by medication, coffee, tea and cigarettes & also can be caused by your genetic make-up or simply getting older.
Bleaching can be performed by the dentist in the office or under supervision at home. Many patients enjoy bleaching at Dental Office because it is more convenient. Typically, whitening at home takes two or three weeks, depending on the desired shade you wish to achieve. Whitening in the office may call for 45 minute visit to the dentist's office & the results achieved are more pronounced than home bleach method. Prolonging the results achieved by bleaching depends on how meticulously the patient follows the coloured diet restrictions. At SCDOC we make use of latest laser bleaching technology which gives much better results as compared to conventional methods.
This mode of treatment has solely been developed to lightening teeth in a simple and comfortable manner. It can bring about a dramatic change in almost everyone‘s smile by a dull smile and yellow teeth to a bright smile with white teeth.
Your diet and habits will largely determine how long the bleaching effect will last. With good oral hygiene and a close watch on the exposure of your teeth to external stains from tobacco, beverages, etc., your bleached teeth should maintain their color for a long time. If you choose, regular touch up sessions can be carried out once a year to ensure your teeth look their best.
