Bleaching is a widely utilized method in cosmetic dentistry where a specialized whitening agent, typically hydrogen peroxide, is applied to the teeth to lighten their color.
It can be performed through two methods: at-home (home) and in-office (clinic).
- At-home bleaching involves creating custom trays from impressions of the patient’s teeth, which are then filled with the whitening agent and worn nightly for 10 to 15 days.
- In-office bleaching utilizes higher concentration bleaching agents applied directly to the teeth in the clinic, usually with the use of a gum protector. Advantages include its non-invasive nature and relatively lower cost, while disadvantages include the need for periodic re-treatment and the temporary nature of the color change.
Bleaching is recommended for individuals after addressing any existing gum or tooth issues. For further inquiries or a free online consultation, please contact us via WhatsApp.
