Aesthetic Dentistry

Teeth whitening is the most sought-after procedure in aesthetic dentistry.

Age, diet, medications, and wear are just a few factors that gradually lead to tooth damage and loss of brightness.

To enhance aesthetics, chemical teeth whitening, also known as in-office whitening, is essential. This procedure is completely safe, especially when performed by an experienced doctor who adheres to the full protocol.

Teeth whitening involves the activation of hydrogen chemical agents through light. The free oxygen atoms released during activation penetrate the hard tissue of the tooth without causing damage, effectively breaking down organic compounds and the proteins of pigments present in the tooth’s structure. These changes visibly result in whiter teeth.

During in-office whitening, patients can observe the process every 15 minutes and choose the level of whiteness they desire.

The procedure lasts only 45 to 50 minutes, and hypersensitivity does not develop, making it a more desirable option that is safe, quick, and, most importantly, affordable.

To maintain the best results, it is recommended to undergo professional cleaning twice a year and to use high-quality whitening toothpaste and low-percentage whitening gels. If at-home whitening is not possible, it’s advisable to have a quick 15-minute in-office whitening after each professional cleaning. This advice will help you sustain even more desirable results.
