What is “Teeth Whitening”?
It is a one-time process where we restore the natural colour of your teeth. It is a cosmetic procedure which is widely used to remove stains from your teeth. We, at Dr.Vinisha Pandey Dentistry are using the latest ZOOM WHITENING technique which is the latest technology for long-lasting and reliable results.
Causes of Discoloration or staining of teeth?
* Frequent consumption of caffeine and soda drinks.
* Continuous consumption of tobacco.
* Excess of fluoride during childhood (over usage of toothpaste)
* Accident or trauma which leads to damage in teeth
* As you grow older, a certain part of your teeth becomes thinner and this leads to food and beverages seeping into the inner parts of the teeth. This also leads to staining.
* Carelessness after a medical treatment.
Why go for Teeth Whitening?
There can be many factors due to which your dentin (inner layer) or the enamel (outer layer) starts staining or becoming yellow. The natural colour of your teeth is reflected by the enamel. Teeth Whitening will clear all the stains and will help in making the teeth look whiter. The results will have a different effect on different people.
How does Teeth Whitening work?
Step 1: Your teeth are photographed to figure out the stains.
Step 2: The process of basic cleaning is done.
Step 3: Removal of the plague layer created due to food or other things.
Now, the actual whitening process will start. It will take about 30-90 minutes. Duration might vary according to the intensity of stains.
Step 4: The gums are covered and a whitening paste is applied on the teeth.
