Whitening teeth with trays is the traditional method to whiten teeth. It requires dental office visits to give directions, monitor the process, evaluate progress and takes a total of about 2 weeks.
The gel used at Dental home whitens yellow or stained teeth and contains a patented formula with ACP (Amorphous Calcium Phosphate) which reduces sensitivity and will not wear teeth.
Today there is scientific evidence that allows us to be sure that a whitening treatment performed by specialist with appropriate products will not result in damage or loss of teeth. At Dental Home, we have searched the globe for the best technology and products to use in the care of our clients and their teeth.
Not all stains or pigmentation can be removed with teeth whitening because some are deeper than others and therefore more difficult to treat.
Some color changes arise when certain medications penetrate the teeth in the introductory stage. Such is the case with the antibiotic tetracycline. These pigments are called intrinsic and affect not only the surface layer of the teeth, but they also involve the dentin, which is more internal than the enamel. Stains from tetracycline (commonly used antibiotic) have variables: color, depth and location. This appears more frequently when the medication is consumed by the mother during pregnancy or early childhood. For cases where stains cannot be removed with whitening, Dental Home offers other solutions that will allow you to have natural and beautiful color which include resin veneers or dental contact lenses.
Generally, teeth whitening can be performed once a year for teeth clarification but can only be provided if teeth are not too sensitive, the teeth enamel is in good condition and overall oral health is satisfactory. Dental Home Specialists will analyze the state of the teeth and detect the saturation limit of the enamel. If teeth have reached the saturation limit, it is not advisable to perform teeth whitening again.
Teeth whitening has no effect on any type of restorations. Because of this, Dental Home recommends whitening first and that clients wait 15 days (time required for color stabilization of the teeth) before replacement of restorations with the new color achieved, since resins do not change color with whitening.
