Teeth whitening with caps (dental trays) Chisinau

Before choosing the teeth whitening system, each patient must know that there are several necessary steps before a teeth whitening treatment.

First of all, the dentist must determine if the patient is a good candidate for the teeth whitening procedure. 

Teeth whitening is not recommended:

•  pregnant or lactating women
• people with gum disease or dental erosion
• people with a high level of karyoreceptivity
• children up to 17 years old
• people with very sensitive teeth or allergic to peroxide
• whitening is not recommended for patients with cracked teeth

 Attention! We must also bear in mind that whitening has no effect on crowns, veneers, dental fillings. If you have a tooth-colored filling, the whitening will only have an effect on the dental tissue and not on the material from which the prosthetic work or the filling is made. 

Ideal candidates for teeth whitening are people who have yellow or brown stains on their teeth caused by coffee, tea, alcohol or drugs.

The farther the color of the teeth goes from yellow to blue and gray, the more difficult the stains are to remove. If you expect to instantly benefit from bright white teeth after treatment, you may be disappointed. Dental whitening with caps and whitening gel involves opening the shade of white by a few shades, with 3-4, the final result depending on the nature and severity of the stains on the tooth, and the obturation can stand out unaesthetically.

The whitening procedure performed by the dentist has the highest efficiency, because the highest concentration of peroxide is used: up to 38 %. The treatment can last around 3 sessions, and after it the patients will have teeth up to 4-10 shades whiter. The whitening result lasts on average 2-3 years, but it can be repeated after this period.

TEETH WHITENING IN THE OFFICE

The whitening treatment in the dental office is carried out in the following way: the doctor isolates the gums to protect them - with gel or a rubber dam (dam) and applies the gel with peroxide on the external surface of the teeth. Then a special light - LEDs or laser - is projected onto the dental surfaces for 30-60 minutes, depending on the active substance. The most effective whitening methods at present, being the most used whitening systems in Western clinics.
