Teeth whitening is a simple, safe and conservative treatment that can create a brighter smile with minimal intervention. Over the years, stains and discoloration can accumulate on the teeth and may be difficult to remove through professional cleaning alone. Teeth whitening is a process that helps remove these stains without damaging the tooth enamel.
Initially, a professional dental cleaning is recommended to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains caused by substances such as nicotine, coffee and tea.
Teeth whitening is a minimally invasive treatment that can make a significant difference to the appearance of your smile and your confidence.
With just a few visits, you can achieve the bright, radiant smile you have always wanted.
In some cases, a tooth may become discolored, grey or darker following trauma or previous endodontic treatment (root canal treatment).
This discoloration can often be corrected and the tooth’s natural appearance restored through a specialized technique known as internal tooth whitening.
A prerequisite for internal whitening is that the tooth has previously undergone endodontic treatment (root canal treatment).
A special whitening agent is then placed inside the tooth, where it remains for several days. The tooth is subsequently reassessed to evaluate the change in color.
Once the natural color of the tooth has been restored, the permanent restoration is placed.
The entire procedure is completely painless and usually does not require anesthesia.
