Teeth whitening processes were designed to increase the brightness of your smile; simply stated – improving facial aesthetics by making your teeth whiter.

Over time, pigments are fixed internally in the structure of the teeth, generating a yellowish coloration. Through the application of whitening gel, the teeth will become whiter. The degree of whiteness is determined by the number of gel applications. Programmed visits to your dentist are essential for the process to be carried out properly so as to not exceed the limits set by your attending professional and avoid affecting the health of your teeth.

The process can be performed in the office with whitening gel or at home with the use of a dental tray and whitening gel.

The use of laser treatments is not the best resource in all cases as it may cause tooth pulp necrosis. Tooth pulp may suffer alterations from exposure to the laser beam. Consult your dentist before deciding on laser treatments.

The duration of whitening treatments will depend on the daily habits of each patient, such as the use of tobacco products, drinking a lot of coffee and tea, soft drinks, sugar-laden foods and of course, daily oral hygiene practices.
