It is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that brightens stained or discolored teeth using a whitening agent.
Teeth whitening is a treatment that brightens teeth by applying hydrogen peroxide-based whitening agents to break down internal stains. There are professional whitening treatments performed at a clinic and self-whitening treatments done at home.
Professional whitening uses high-concentration whitening agents and light for rapid results, while at-home whitening proceeds slowly using a custom tray. Both methods can also be combined.
Temporary tooth sensitivity is common after the procedure, and effectiveness may be limited depending on the cause of the prosthesis or discoloration. Staining foods such as coffee and wine affect color retention.
Temporary tooth sensitivity is a common reaction and usually subsides within a few days.
It takes 6 months to several years, varying depending on dietary habits (coloring from coffee, wine, etc.), and requires periodic care.
