Cosmetic dentistry encompasses various treatments, including tooth whitening. Teeth whitening helps lighten the color of the teeth to restore the aesthetics of the smile. This treatment is performed in one hour with professional, or at home in one to two weeks.
Our doctors recommend several teeth whitening techniques. These techniques are reserved for specific cases, and should especially not be used as a pretext for poor oral hygiene.
Teeth coloring is influenced by different elements:
- heredity
- taking certain medications during the tooth formation period.
- lifestyle : consumption of coffee, tea, tobacco, wine, etc.
Before starting a dental whitening treatment, the practitioner will establish an oral report. Thus, we will check that there are no contraindications to the treatment: cavities, periodontal diseases ...
In order to prolong teeth whitening at home, Our doctors take an impression of the patient's teeth in the office. This footprint allows them to design a custom-made gutter. The patient should then apply a whitening gel to their teeth, and wear the tray for one hour a day for one to two weeks. The duration of treatment varies depending on the advice of the dentist.
