Teeth whitening
This is one of the basic procedures in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Both entire dental arches and single dark teeth (eg dead teeth after root canal treatment) are whitewashed. The method of teeth whitening is many, but the most safe for the patient is a whitening procedure performed under the control of the dentist.

Recommendations before bleaching:

  • the teeth should be fully cured,
  • A healthy gingival state is required,
  • remove plaque.

Whitening treatment
A special preparation is applied to the teeth, which is exposed to the light emitted by the BEYOND lamp. This light activates and accelerates tooth whitening. Total bleaching takes about 45 minutes.

The teeth whitening effect is long lasting. Keep in mind that teeth naturally darken with age. This process is faster if they are exposed to cigarettes, coffee, tea, wine, dark fruit juices, etc. After several years, bleaching can be repeated several times.

These are allergies to hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide (however very rare). Bleaching should not be performed during pregnancy and lactation and in children under 16 years of age. The remaining contraindications are transient or only due to lack of studies.

Night Bleaching
Another method that we recommend in our cabinets is an overlay of night-time bleaching.
In the prosthetic laboratory we make individual for each patient rails designed for teeth whitening, so called. overlay. Along with the overlays, the patient receives a whitening gel that he / she puts on his / her own every day with the cap. Gel works on teeth all the time (all night).
