Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening is a procedure that helps to remove stains and discoloration of teeth and lightens teeth. Whitening of teeth is one of the most famous cosmetic dental treatments which are performed for improving the appearance of tooth. People consider white teeth an attractive feature for a beautiful smile and as a person ages the adult teeth often become darker due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, enamel becomes less porous or even due to staining by bacterial pigments, food stuff and tobacco.

Types of Tooth Whitening :

There are two forms of dental whitening one is Non- Vital Whitening and Vital Whitening.

  • Vital Whitening treatment : refers to the procedure performed on teeth that have live nerves.
  • Non- Vital Whitening : is performed on tooth that has no live nerve due to a prior root canal treatment.

Procedure for Tooth Whitening :

  • The procedure of non - vital whitening involves placing of a whitening agent inside the tooth which is then filled with a temporary filling. In order to avoid the risk of chemical burns to the soft tissues, dentists use a light- cured protective layer that is carefully painted on the gums. Thereafter a gel like whitening solution is placed over teeth for a specific period of time.
  • Internal Bleaching : this is a procedure of teeth whitening which is performed on devitalized teeth that have undergone endodontic therapy and have discolored teeth due to internal staining of the tooth structure by blood and other fluids. In this procedure peroxide is sealed within the tooth for a period of time and then is replaced.
