Teeth Whitening Treatment in Mumbai

Teeth whitening are a process of removing stains from the tooth surface and restoring the natural colour of the teeth. Tooth whitening is a onetime procedure that is completely safe and painless. It is one of the most common of the cosmetic dentistry procedures and most sought after by males and females worldwide. The development of mainstream cosmetic dentistry procedures, tooth whitening treatments have become easier to administer and it is easier to control the degree of whitening that will suit the patient’s natural skin tone.

WHAT IS The NEED FOR TEETH WHITENING?     

The enamel, which reflects the natural colour of your tooth, can stain, or the dentin, which is the inner surface of teeth, can become stained because of various reasons and give a yellowish colour to the teeth. The causes of tooth discoloration are varied. Though many causes can be prevented, yet there are some, which are not in control. The main causes of teeth discoloration are:

  • Consuming tea, coffee, wine, cola frequently
  • Smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco
  • High intake of fluoride during childhood
  • Damage of developing permanent teeth due to accident or trauma
  • Aging can also contribute to staining of teeth as with age the enamel gets thinner exposing the dentin below. With age, the dentin met certain food and beverage and can stain your teeth
  • Certain medical treatments can also contribute to staining of teeth.
  • Chemotherapy and radiation are seen to develop discoloured teeth.
  • Heredity too cause discolouration. 

The process of Teeth Whitening clears the stain and makes your teeth look many shades whiter. However, one should keep in mind that the results may vary from person to person 

HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORKS?

The process begins by the cosmetic dentist examining your teeth and photographing the teeth so that they can track the process of the colour of the teeth. The photographs also help the dentist mark the varying degree of stains.
After examining the tooth dentist will start by cleaning the tooth. He will clean the film on your enamel coated due to the food you eat or due to other substances. The whitening process begins after this. The teeth whitening process can take about thirty to ninety minutes to complete depending on the amount of whitening you want and the severity of the stains on your teeth.

The actual whitening process involves the dentist applying a gel made of 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide to your front teeth. Hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the porous outer layer of your teeth and break apart stain compounds using a chemical reaction called oxidation. 

Different Types of Teeth Whitening

Having a smile that is nice and bright is everyone’s dream. Losing the brightness of teeth affects the self-confidence of people.

Today there are many different varieties of tooth whitening options available that you can buy as an over the counter option and use at home for temporary results:

Custom Fit Tray Bleaching

This is a very common form of tooth whitening is the use of a custom fit tray for bleaching. The ones that are available in the market are not a good choice because they are a general fit and can come out lose or irritate and rub against your gums. Cosmetic dentist in Mumbai can help fit you with a custom try with teeth whitening products that fit very well against the shape of your teeth. Custom fitting ensures that the gel or whitening substance does not come out of the tray, your teeth stay in maximum exposure to the substance, and the results are even and faster.

Whitening Strips

Whitening strips are thin strips of whitening materials; they are easily available in the stores. They are easy to apply. Place one strip on the top row of the teeth and the other one at the bottom front row of the teeth, sit back, and relax. The results are visible in just three-day’s times but these do at home strips are only suitable for mild to low moderate staining.

Whitening Toothpaste

Whitening toothpastes are specially formulated to work as whitening agents. Normal toothpaste does not have the special whitening agents but they can help remove some of the stains on the teeth, while whitening toothpaste helps make the teeth shine brighter by removing most of the stains on the teeth. However using whitening toothpaste for tooth whitening means that you have wait for a few weeks for the result and the results will be not as dramatic as a professional tooth whitening treatment.

Laser Bleaching

Development in technology has led to a new branch of treatment in teeth whitening. The whitening agents are activated with the help of laser, which helps the agent, works better and the effect is more even. The process also happens in a limited period of time, so one need not wait long as in the case of other treatment options. Before starting the laser treatment, the cosmetic dentist will place a lip and gum guard to protect the lips and gums from damage. Not all are suitable candidates for laser treatment. Your dentist will suggest the best type of treatment that is suitable for your specific case. 

Choosing Teeth Whitening Option Suitable For You

Teeth whitening products are available very easily, be it in the form of toothpastes or gels or laser treatments done with the help of trained dentists. Different types of treatments have their own advantages. Some of them are suited for those who have less time on their hands, less staining etc. Always be sure to check with the dentist about the type of treatment you would need. Even though buying products over the counter might save money and you can do it at the convenience of your home – they might not always be best suited for your needs.

  • Practicing excellent oral hygiene – brushing and flossing after meals and at bedtime.
