Teeth whitening

Home / Our Offer / Teeth whitening

At the beginning of every human’s life, when teeth start to grow in the mouth (initially milkworms, then solids), they are white. However, after the next years, when the child, and then the adult has contact with coffee, strong tea and many other colored food products, this color darkens.

There are also additional factors that affect faster tooth staining. It is primarily smoking cigarettes or other drugs, taking certain medications (eg tetracycline), as well as poor oral hygiene.

Sometimes, there are also reasons that we can not influence. They are associated with a genetic strain or specific diseases, such as congenital porphyria, gland dysfunction, alkaptonuria, caries or pulp necrosis.

Such a wide range of factors that cause discoloration of the teeth causes that many people complain about the loss of natural whiteness of teeth, which after all has a huge impact on the perception of us by others. Almost every smile reveals our teeth, which is why many people strive to whiten them.

Nowadays, many different preparations have been made on the market (mainly pastes or liquids), available in stores that provide teeth whitening. However, these substances act only on the outer part of the enamel, causing only its temporary brightening.

On the other hand, long-lasting effect is provided by specialized treatments that allow not only surface impact, but also thorough penetration of the preparation into the internal structure of the tooth.

 

In our dental office in Gdansk, we do tooth whitening in two ways.

The first of them is a treatment using the Beyond lamp.

It is a completely safe method, giving immediate and visible effects. The whole procedure is based on several stages. After proper opening of the mouth and protection of the gums and eyes (against harmful radiation of the lamp), the teeth are covered with a special blend of whitening and catalyzing gel (Nite White), and then the Beyond lamp is turned on for 10 minutes. If necessary, this procedure is repeated. After its completion, the protection is removed and the resulting shade of the tooth is determined.

It is very important after the Beyond lamp treatment to preserve the so-called white diet, ie avoiding coloring foods and refraining from smoking cigarettes.

 

The second way to improve the appearance of stained teeth is the overlay method, carried out at home. At the first visit, the dentist evaluates the possibilities of using this technique and in the absence of contraindications, takes the impressions of the patient’s teeth in order to make special, individual overlays.

At the next visit, the patient picks up the prepared rails and receives the right amount of syringes with bleaching gel. Over the next days, he applies transparent rails, filled with gel and depending on the doctor’s instructions, he carries them for several hours during the day or all night. Most often, this process takes two to four weeks and gives satisfactory results.

Regardless of the chosen whitening method one should bear in mind that the obtained effects are not permanent and their duration depends primarily on the proper oral hygiene as well as the diet.

The prices of dental services provided by our dental office in Gdańsk depend primarily on the number of visits and the method chosen. In the case of lamp whitening, prices start from PLN 1,100, and for the overlay method from PLN 550. We also do internal whitening of a single dead tooth (price from PLN 150).
