WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?

Teeth whitening is the procedure of restoring the natural colour of the teeth by removing stains from the tooth’s surface. It is one of the widely accepted cosmetic procedures which gives reliable and long-lasting results. At Dr. Narmatha's Dental Care, we offer advanced treatments for instant teeth whitening in Chennai through the latest dental technology that render pearly-white, sparkling teeth.

WHAT CAUSES DISCOLOURATION OF TEETH?

There are varied causes of discolouration of teeth. Although you may prevent certain causes, there are some which are not in control-

  • Consuming beverages like tea, coffee, cola and red wine frequently can lead to yellowing of teeth
  • Intake of fluoride in growth years
  • Smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco frequently can lead to browning of teeth
  • When developing permanent teeth get damaged as a consequence of accident or tooth trauma
  • Ageing can also lead to staining or discolouration of teeth. It is because, with age, the enamel gets thinner, which exposes the dentin beneath. As you age, this dentin can come in contact with the food and beverages you consume, leading to staining of your teeth
  • Certain infections or illnesses
  • Some medications may also lead to staining of teeth

TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS
STAIN REMOVAL/ WHITENING TOOTHPASTE

All toothpaste assists in the removal of surface stains as they contain mild abrasives that scrub the teeth. Whitening toothpaste that has earned ADA Seal of Acceptance for stain removal should be used for whitening the teeth. These toothpaste contain gentle polishing or chemical agents which are safe to use and deliver effective stain removal results. However, these kinds of toothpaste are helpful in removing stains only. Unlike bleaching/ in-office bleaching, they don’t lighten the tooth’s colour by more than one shade.

WHITENING STRIPS AND GELS

Various grocery and medical stores offer whitening strips and gels that whiten the teeth by bleaching. These peroxide-based gels can be applied with a small brush directly on the surface of the teeth. The concentration of the bleaching agent in these ADA approved strips & gels is lower than that of in-office bleaching treatments and takes around 2 weeks to show complete results.

TRAY-BASED TOOTH WHITENING SYSTEM

Tray-based tooth whiteners involve filling a mouth guard-like tray with a gel whitening solution that contains a peroxide bleaching agent. These whiteners can be purchased either over the counter or from a dentist, depending on the degree of discolouration of your teeth. This opinion may be considered only when you are more comfortable with whitening treatments at your home at a slower pace, however, under the guidance of a dentist.

IN-OFFICE BLEACHING

In-office bleaching is referred to as the quickest possible way to whiten teeth. In this method, a bleaching agent is applied in combination with a special light or laser on the teeth. This in-house bleaching procedure yields effective results in one sitting that lasts for only 30-60 minutes. At Dr. Narmatha's Dental Care, we offer thorough cleaning and whitening treatment and top smile makeover in south Chennai that helps restore your sparkling smile.
