Therefore, teeth whitening is a cosmetic solution recommended for people who are unhappy with the color of their teeth. Regardless of the reason, it is possible to lighten the color of teeth by 2-10 tones with the bleaching method.
This method, which can be applied in a clinical setting or at home, can provide sufficient whitening and a perfect smile.
In a clinical setting, the bleaching process is completed in 2 or 3 15-minute sessions.
Whitening methods can cause a slight sensitivity in the teeth. This sensitivity can be to the air, very hot or cold foods and drinks. This is a normal and expected side effect. Tooth sensitivity is usually expected to pass within 24-48 hours. In case of an unexpected situation, a doctor should definitely be consulted. Whitening performed under the supervision of a dentist does not harm the teeth.
After whitening, the color begins to fade over time. This period varies depending on the patient’s use of colored liquids (tea, coffee, wine, cola, etc.) and smoking. It takes between 6 months and 1 year. If whitening is supported with 1 or 2 sessions every 6 months, teeth whitening becomes permanent.
