Bleaching vs. Whitening: What is the Difference?

Bleaching is often confused with teeth whitening. But both are essentially different procedures. Bleaching is done on the teeth when the colour of the teeth is changed beyond its natural colour. It is done using products that contain chemical bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

The term tooth whitening refers  to removing the dirt and debris from the teeth. A simple whitening toothpaste can also be considered a tool for teeth whitening.

Why it teeth bleaching done

 The most common reasons of seeking teeth bleaching in India are removing the stains and yellowish tinge or colour on the teeth. These stains can be because of:

  • Tobacco stains
  • Cigarette stains
  • Drinking dark-coloured fluids like coffee, cola, tea, and red wine
  • Berries and other brightly coloured teeth
  • Not taking care of your own teeth
  • Aging leaves teeth less glowing as the tooth gets thinner as well as the dentin gets darker. 

How does Teeth Bleaching work?

For professional teeth bleaching in Mumbai,  peroxide-based bleaching agents are used. At-home systems contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides). In-office systems contain from 15% to 43% peroxide. The key to getting the correct bleach on the teeth is to remember that the stronger the solution the whiter are your teeth and the higher the percentage of peroxide bleaching solution  the shorter is the time for which it should be applied on the teeth.

There are so many teeth bleaching option and products available at dental clinics as well as market nowadays, but before you try at-home tooth-bleaching kits, be sure to talk to your dentist. Because over bleaching can damage the skin, teeth and gums.

Teeth bleaching procedure

Tooth whitening can be done in two ways:

In –office-based teeth bleaching

At-home care

In-office teeth bleaching

Teeth whitening done by your dentist can get teeth brighter faster and more evenly. The bleaching solution is usually much stronger than at-home kits. Top cosmetic dentist in Mumbai use a combination of heat and light to intenfisy the effectiveness of the whitening procedures.

You can whiten the teeth as much as you want; make sure that you tell the cosmetic dentist in Mumbai about your expectations. In professional settings the teeth can get up to eight shades brighter. The whole process takes about 30-60 minutes. The cost of teeth bleaching will depend on your expectiation i.e. how many shades of whitening you desire to see.

Laser teeth bleaching

Laser teeth bleaching in Mumbai  is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure and can bring about more long lasting results than other traditional methods. The laser-activated teeth whitening can make the teeth up to ten shades brighter in roughly one hour.

Step 1: Colour matching: by means of a colour index, the dentist will decide the colour and colour of your present teeth. A photo will be taken of your teeth so you may see the difference after the procedure is complete.

Step 2: Security: The lips are lined with a  protective SPF cream, which includes a moisturizer. This protects the skin from being affect by the effects of laser.

Step 3: Cheek retraction: This helps in keeping the mouth open during the teeth bleaching procedure. Cotton rolls are placed under the lips to keep the area dry and a protective coating is placed on the gums to protect them from the bleaching gel. You will also need to wear some protective eye wear.

Step 4: Whitening gel: Your dentist will place the whitening gel on the teeth before starting the laser

Step 5: Bleaching Laser:  The laser is directed on the teeth to activate the whitening gel. The light in the laser illuminates all of the teeth simultaneously and does not move over the teeth.

Step 6: Finishing: Following the whitening session is finished, the solution is going to be suctioned or shut off. The protective is removed and the teeth and gums rinsed properly to get rid of any residual gels.

At-Home Teeth Bleaching Options

There are many choices for bleaching teeth at home, the most common  ones include:

Tooth whitening strips and gels. Applied directly to the teeth with a brush or a thin strip, these peroxide-based tooth bleaching products usually need to be applied once or twice a day for 10 to 14 days. Results last four or more months and vary on cost depending on their effectiveness.

Tray-based tooth bleaching systems. With this teeth whitening option, a mouth guard-like tray is filled with a peroxide-based bleaching gel or paste and placed over the teeth for one to several hours a day for up to four weeks. You can buy tray-based tooth whitening systems over-the-counter or have one custom-fitted by your dentist.

Tooth whitening toothpastes. Because they are mildly abrasive, every toothpaste helps remove stains from teeth. Whitening toothpastes, however, also contain chemicals or polishing agents that help scrub stains from teeth without the aid of a bleaching agent. Tooth-whitening toothpastes are relatively inexpensive a way to mildly bleach the teeth and brighten them by shade. Some whitening toothpastes contain peroxides, but they are not left on the teeth long enough to have a whitening benefit.
