What is Dental Bleaching?

Dental Bleaching is performed to treat congenital or acquired discolouration of teeth. However; there shouldn’t be any problem with these discoloured teeth like hypersensitivity or gingival recession.

Bleaching can be performed in two ways:

Home bleaching: Impressions are taken of mouth of patient and a thin plastic tray is made. This tray is then filled with bleaching gel by patient at home periodically according to the instructions of the dentist.

Office bleaching: After a protective layer is carefully painted on the gums and papilla, bleaching agent is applied on teeth and activated using halogen light. The main advantage of office bleaching is that desired level of whitening can usually be achieved in one sitting.
