In case of the formation of colored organic and inorganic substances on tooth enamel due to various internal and external factors, a person may need teeth whitening. Bleaching processes are based on the oxidation-reduction reaction. These organic and inorganic substances are removed by means of teeth whitening gels. These gels, which release oxygen, allow the colored substances on the tooth surface to be replaced by colorless substances. Thus, whitening takes place.

How is Teeth Whitening Applied?

Teeth whitening is carried out by applying gels directly on the teeth or by accelerating the reaction using a special light source or laser. First of all, the tooth surface is cleaned and the tooth's own color is revealed. Afterwards, one of the home or office whitening methods is used. For home whitening, mouth impression is taken. A suitable transparent plaque is prepared. The gel given by the specialist dentist is squeezed into this plaque. The tray is worn in the mouth for a certain period of time every day. The application is continued for different periods of time in order to reach the desired level of whitening. In the office bleaching application, a whitening agent with a higher intensity than the home type is applied to the tooth surface by a specialist dentist. Again, the process is completed by waiting for a period determined by the dentist.
