Teeth stains and discoloration are an inevitable outcome of aging. Especially, excessive consumption of red wine, coffee, and smoking speeds up the process. Those who consider teeth whitening should learn the underlying causes of discoloration. In this regard, only an aesthetic dentist can give you the best answer, whether you will have the desired results with this treatment. 
 
At Antlara Dental, Dt. Dilek Aksu Guler and Dt. Mediha Sanli Caglayan would be happy to share their knowledge with 25 years of experience in aesthetic dentistry. 
 

What is Teeth Whitening?

The original color of the teeth is not crystal clear. While some teeth are light grayish, others can be yellow-shaded, gradually getting darker over time. In addition to aging effects on discoloration, skin color or even make-up influences the teeth' appearance. The darker skin or darker make-up causes a brighter teeth appearance.
 
Aesthetic dentistry is not focused on having the brightest white teeth; instead, it aims to achieve a few shades of whiter teeth. There are two causes of discoloration depending on whether it occurs below the enamel or outside the enamel.
 

Ectrinsic (Outside) Teeth Whitening

Extrinsic discoloration is caused by external factors that we can control, such as smoking, kinds of meals, coffee, and red wine. Extrinsic (outside) discoloration can be erased with available products on the market.
 

Inner (Inside) Teeth Whitening

Inner staining develops beneath the enamel during the growth period of the teeth. Intrinsic discoloration may arise from trauma or medications during the formation of teeth. Thus they don`t respond to bleaching products and must be evaluated by an expert.

Who Should Use Teeth Whitening? 

Anyone can choose teeth whitening whoever completed teeth formation. But there exist some limitations that can`t be ruled out. 
 
  • Pregnancy or lactating period
The chemicals inside bleaching products can be harmful to both mother and baby.
 
  • Front teeth restorations
Teeth bleaching can`t affect the restored teeth such as fillings, implants, bridges, or crowns, whıch may lead to color differentiation among teeth.  
 
  • 16-years-old age limit 
Teeth bleaching before this age may have adverse effects on teeth at later ages because the formation of teeth is not completed.
 
  • Those who have tooth decay, cavities, periodontal diseases, and are allergic to agents like peroxide.
  • Patients who want to have extremely bright teeth. 

Is Teeth Whitening can be Applied to Anyone?

Teeth whitening is not an everlasting treatment; anyone who experiences fading in their teeth can take this treatment. The level of staining determines what type of whitening is needed. There are many DIY products for teeth whitening, but none of them can substitute a professional teeth whitening. Beauty centers may also offer teeth cleaning without a dentist's supervision, but it is risky and can cause irreversible damage.
 
Each stain exhibits various reactions to bleaching chemicals-hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. An inexperienced person can't evaluate the different reactions, which can lead to further discoloration of teeth.

Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) FAQ

It is applied by the dentist to the teeth that have lost their vitality. If the teeth have been exposed to a trauma before or if discoloration has occurred after root canal treatment, whitening is achieved by placing gel inside the teeth.

Almost everyone! However, there are some situations where treatment may not be effective. Your dentist will determine whether the teeth are suitable for this procedure with a complete intraoral control and diagnosis. If your teeth are healthy, it is an ideal solution for a whiter and natural smile.

It is applied by activating the whitening paste applied to the teeth by the dentist with a light source. The lips are isolated and the gums are covered with a special barrier that cures with light. In whitening with a normal light device, the sessions last approximately 30-45 minutes and the result can be observed immediately. The duration of the treatment depends on the dentist and the degree of whiteness desired by the patient to the extent that it will not damage the tooth.

In cases where the light device is a laser, results are obtained in one session as a result of the session lasting approximately 1 hour.

The bleaching process has no effect on fillings and veneers. For this reason, they should be renewed according to the obtained tooth color. The whitening process is a reversible process depending on time and the habits of the patient. Therefore, it must be renewed periodically.

This procedure, which is very simple to apply by the patient and the dentist, has no long-term complications. Therefore, instead of hiding our smile, we all have the right to display a bright smile that can be obtained with such an easy process. In addition, it has been proven that the whitening process has benefits on oral and dental health

Teeth whitened with different bleaching methods stay white for a few years. But this time varies from person to person. Eating and drinking habits, smoking and brushing habits affect the whiteness of the teeth.

It should be noted that bleaching may not always provide the whiteness you want. The whitening rate depends on the tone of your teeth before the whitening process and varies from person to person. Therefore, you should discuss your expectations with your dentist in advance.

Teeth Whitening or teeth bleaching, although a widely applied procedure in general dentistry, is actually the field of Aesthetic/Cosmetic Dentistry.

Since white teeth are associated with youth, they are highly desired by people who want to be aesthetically pleasing. However, we should point out that an exaggerated whiteness may not be aesthetic in most cases. The natural tone that matches your face and mouth structure will always be more aesthetic.
