Different types of discoloration require different types of treatments.

What are the Teeth Whitening Trends?

In recent years, teeth whitening procedures have become quite popular. Different types of treatments are applied to different types of teeth and their discoloration. We can list the treatment trends applied in teeth whitening as follows;

• Home Teeth Whitening 

 In home teeth whitening application, measurements are taken from the patient's lower and upper jaws and a personalized teeth whitening plate is prepared. The dentist selects the appropriate teeth whitening gel for the specially prepared dental plate for the patient and adjusts the dose. At the specified time intervals, the teeth whitening gel is placed in the molds and attached to the teeth. The dental plate is worn at night for more practical purposes. Teeth whitening application can continue for 5 to 7 days depending on the discoloration of the teeth. Any tooth sensitivity that may occur is eliminated by the fluoride treatment applied to the teeth.  

• Office Type Teeth Whitening 

 Office type teeth whitening is a faster and more effective teeth whitening application applied by the dentist in the clinic. The process is carried out by applying teeth whitening substances to the teeth with special light devices. Special light devices or laser devices are not sufficient on their own for the whitening process. The purpose of these lights is to help activate the whitening substance applied to the teeth.   Office type whitening is performed in two sessions and lasts approximately 1 hour. It is a safe method that does not damage tooth enamel. 

• Single Tooth Whitening 

 In the single tooth whitening process, first the old fillings of the discolored root canal treated tooth are opened. Then, whitening material is placed inside these teeth and closed with a temporary filling. After 3-5 days, the whitening rate of the tooth is observed. If the whitening is not sufficient, the process is repeated until the desired whiteness is reached.  

• Combined Teeth Whitening 

 Combined teeth whitening is a whitening process in which both home and office type whitening are performed together. After being applied in the office or clinic, home type application is continued for 2-3 days. In some colored teeth, the desired whiteness can only be achieved by applying both office and home type whitening processes. For this reason, it is one of the preferred whitening applications for patients.
