The teeth whitening, is recommended for any patient with permanent teeth who has optimal oral health and wishes to show a whiter and brighter smile.
Before starting the whitening treatment, at Oralstudio we perform a careful clinical and radiographic examination to evaluate possible factors, such as cavities and infiltrations, that may influence tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatment.
This novel technique not only improves dental esthetics, but also favors oral hygiene, since the whitening agent used in the procedure causes an oral antiseptic effect that helps reduce plaque and facilitates wound healing.
What is teeth whitening?
Tooth whitening consists of performing a dental technique that consists of basic, painless, quick and without side effects, designed to restore a lighter and brighter shade to your teeth.
This procedure uses an active bleaching agent, which has the ability to pass through the enamel and dentin, penetrating all parts of the tooth, breaking down the colored molecules that discolor the tooth, resulting in a whiter smile.
By simply lightening the color of the teeth, the patient's face becomes brighter.
