Definition
- Tooth bleaching is the application of certain bleaching materials on the tooth surface in order to remove yellowing and tooth stains and it does not require the abrasion and/or crowning of the tooth with other materials.
Application
Home bleaching: This is a method that the patient can use on his/her own at home following the instructions given by the dentist.Clinic bleaching: Apply by dentist
Combined method: This method involves the application of both home and clinic methods. Research show that only if both methods are efficiently used together, is it possible to achieve the desired whiteness and maintain the colour for a longer time.
Single tooth bleaching: This method is used for teeth that have lost their natural colour due to root canal therapy.
Laser bleaching:
Contrary to popular belief, tooth bleaching is not possible by only using a laser light source. Some bleaching chemicals are produced in a way to become active when they get into contact with a certain wave length of a light source. While some of these are activated by the wave length of ultraviolet (UV) light sources, some are activated by LED lights, and some by laser light sources.
Duration
Home bleaching: Varies between 5 days and 2 weeks.
Clinic bleaching: Lasts for about 45 min – 1,5 hours if applied by an experienced dentist (the procedure can be repeated if the achieved whiteness is not satisfactory).
Single tooth bleaching:
1-4 sessions
