Teeth whitening

What is teeth whitening?

"Teeth whitening is a procedure designed to lighten the shade of natural teeth using a chemical gel. Depending on the concentration of the gel and the technique used, the procedure can be performed in a single session at the dental office or with the use of trays at home over a period of up to 14 days."

How does teeth whitening work?

"This procedure is designed to improve the appearance of natural teeth that have changed color over time due to factors such as diet, tobacco, or aging. There are different whitening methods that may be recommended based on each patient's needs."

Importance of prior evaluation

"Before undergoing teeth whitening, it is advisable to have a complete dental examination. A dentist will evaluate the presence of cavities, restorations, or crowns, as these do not change color with whitening. Additionally, they will be able to determine which type of procedure is most suitable in each case."
