Bleaching I Teeth Whitening

Bleaching for bright white teeth. For your most beautiful smile.

Bleaching is a quick and effective treatment method to whiten your teeth and give you a radiant smile. For many people, a perfect smile includes not only straight teeth, but also white teeth. However, these are almost never completely white by nature.

There are several factors that influence tooth color. Professional teeth whitening can remove annoying color pigments and thus make yellow teeth significantly whiter.

However, there are a few things to consider when removing tooth discoloration. We explain to you why discoloration can occur, how bleaching works, what the most common treatment methods are, who should avoid whiter teeth through bleaching and how you too can whiten your teeth in our dental clinic in Baar.

Powerbleaching

Power whitening is a quick and effective treatment method to whiten your teeth and give you a bright smile.

Power whitening is a professional teeth whitening technique that is performed in our dental practice in Baar. Unlike the traditional home whitening method, which has to be used over a longer period of time, power whitening allows for quick and effective teeth whitening.

The treatment includes professional whitening gel and bleaching solutions that are applied to the teeth. These are used in combination with a special LED lamp to achieve maximum brightening. This process can be done in just one session, and the results are quickly visible.

This treatment is suitable for healthy teeth and requires professional teeth cleaning before whitening. We will inform you in advance about possible risks and side effects.

Why do teeth discolor in the first place?

The natural color of the tooth is mainly determined by the dentine. The color of the dentine is genetically determined and often not white, but slightly darker. Tooth enamel is a hard protective layer that surrounds the inside of the tooth. The enamel is naturally rather transparent, so that the color of the dentine shines through.

The natural tooth color may also be discolored. A distinction is made between external and internal tooth discoloration. Often, superficial tooth discoloration is due to the consumption of tea, tobacco smoke, coffee or red wine. These can be actively influenced by consumer behaviour. However, accidents, root canal treatments or medication can also cause discoloration from within. Many people find the natural darkening of their teeth disturbing.

In cases where normal oral hygiene and professional cleaning of the teeth by the dentist do not allow for sufficient whiteness, teeth whitening can help.

Risks of whitening toothpastes

Toothpaste is an essential part of good oral hygiene. It helps to keep teeth and gums healthy, prevent tooth decay and keep teeth clean. However, you should be careful when choosing your toothpaste.

Many toothpastes with whiteners use abrasive particles that act like sandpaper and do more harm than good to your teeth. Long-term use of such products can cause damage to tooth enamel and gums. We recommend that you use toothpastes with fluoride to protect your teeth and gums.

Under the given circumstances, whitening the teeth is much gentler than the long-term use of a whitening toothpaste. In order not to risk damage, however, you should use professional offers.

«Under no circumstances should they use any home remedies that attack plaque. These include baking soda, baking soda, all acids such as citric acid, etc.»

What is tooth whitening?

Tooth whitening is a process in which the bleaching agent penetrates the superficial layer of the tooth and breaks down the color pigments, making the tooth appear brighter.

The effectiveness depends on the duration of application and the concentration of the bleach. Depending on the whitening method used, several treatments may be required to achieve the desired level of brightness.

The concentration of bleach in the dentist's office is significantly higher than in home bleaching. For this reason, professional in-office bleaching is more effective and creates long-lasting teeth whitening in less time. Furthermore, the blue light of the Philips Zoom system intensifies the brightening process.

Risks and duration of effect of whitening treatment

Studies have shown that professional teeth whitening does not cause any damage to the teeth. The bleach does not attack enamel, dentin or pulp. Teeth whitening can even have a preventive effect against tooth decay. Plaque is more difficult to form on freshly whitened teeth.

Teeth whitening lasts about 2 to 4 years, depending on lifestyle habits, and can be positively influenced by regular teeth cleaning at the dentist and care at home.

Requirements for bleaching

Teeth whitening in our practice or at home is only recommended for healthy adults. Furthermore, the following requirements must be observed and will be clarified during the preliminary examination:

• Professional teeth cleaning, no longer than 4 weeks ago
• No active gingivitis
• Healthy oral mucosa and healthy teeth
• Good oral hygiene
• No acute caries infestation
• No leaking fillings

Who can't whiten their teeth?

Children, pregnant women, breastfeeding women and people with serious illnesses should refrain from teeth whitening. If teeth and gums could be attacked and further damaged by the bleach, the following symptoms preclude treatment:

• An infestation with tooth decay.
• Exposed tooth necks
• Cracks in the enamel surface
• Gingivitis

We strongly advise you not to do whitening on your own at home after you have been advised against it or if any of the above applies to you, as your teeth and gums may be damaged.
