The whitening is only possible when teeth are healthy, without caries without gingivitis. Teeth treated with fillings or prosthetics cannot whiten. The patient should be overall healthy, teeth whitening in pregnancy not is not recommended. In our clinic DENT MEDICO we use only the whitening gels which meet the new EU legislation – ordering the maximum concentration of 6% hydrogen peroxide in the whitening compositions.
For our clients, we offer two options for teeth whitening:
- supervised surgery teeth whitening
- home teeth whitening
Surgery Philips ZOOM teeth whitening
During the surgery whitening procedure we firstly apply a protective barrier so to the gum don’t come into contact with a bleaching gel. Then is applied to the teeth a special hydrogen peroxy gel combined with blue light with UV, which improves the degree of whitening. This is repeated 3-4 times each for 15 minutes. The resulting effect of whitening teeth persists individually varying time. It depends on the enamel quality, the mode of implementation of oral hygiene and also to the action of various external pigments on teeth (e.g. smoking, coffee, tea, etc.). Insufficient effect cannot be claimed because it is not influenced. If necessary, at individually determined intervals, the bleaching procedure can be repeated.

The sensitivity of the teeth and gums during bleaching?
Yes. Penetration of the whitening agent to the teeth may cause their increased sensitivity, particularly to thermal stimuli (cold drinks, hot coffee and tea). This sensibility is temporary and usually lasts no longer than 1-2 days. Its intensity cannot be fully predicted. Certain indicator may be a sensitivity of the teeth already before whitening teeth (reactions to cold drinks, scaling etc.). This sensitivity can be reduced by using special pastes, mouthwashes or gels. Substances which reduce susceptibility are already a direct part of some whitening products. Another possibility are special gels to reduce sensitivity, which can be applied to the carrier between its whitening. The sensitivity of the gums is also temporary. In the long run contrary effect of bleaching agents on the gums positive. Studies have shown that it acts against plaque and reduces swelling and redness of gums – a sign of unwanted inflammation.
Is the teeth whitening always successful?
Mostly yes. Tooth whitening rate depends on the primary cause of tooth discoloration. In mild cases, one surgery procedure or 2 weeks of home whitening may sufficient. Complicated color changes (smoking, tetracycline teeth, fluorosis), however, may require a combination of bleaching techniques and take several months.

While whitening is the tooth surface “open” and more receptive to color pigments. If you don’t want to counteract the effect of whitening, it is advisable to avoid a lot of colored food and drink. These include coffee, black tea, red wine, red beet, soy sauce … This refers to the period of actual bleaching and approximately two weeks after completion of whitening when the result achieved in color is stabilized.
What if I have on teeth white fillings and crowns? Does it whiten too?

This exchange may take place no sooner than two weeks after the completion of teeth whitening. Only then the new color shade of the teeth is sufficiently stabilized.
Changes bleached teeth, then your color afterwards?
Yes. Whitened teeth are not resistant to color pigments in food and beverages. Slight darkening of the teeth during the time is therefore possible. Never, however, does not completely go back to the original color! The achieved result can be maintained by using special whitening pastes, gels and lotions. Very effective is also a regular care at dental hygienist, who professionally clean the teeth, removes tartar and pigments by using special equipment. If you still get the feeling with time that the teeth are slightly darker, there is nothing easier than to repeat a few home whitening applications.
