A bright smile is often synonymous with beauty and health, which is why teeth whitening is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments. We aren’t always satisfied with the color of our teeth, and discolorations can have a variety of causes.
There are various professional whitening techniques, which can be in-office, at-home, or a combination of the two, chosen based on the patient’s individual needs:
Out-patient Whitening: Performed in a single session directly in the office. Teeth are treated with a special whitening gel activated by a specific light (laser or LED lamp). The result is immediately visible, with an instantly clearer and brighter smile.
At-Home Whitening: Patients receive customized trays and a whitening gel to apply themselves, usually overnight. This option can be a stand-alone treatment or a complement to optimize and stabilize the results of in-office whitening.
Choosing the most appropriate technique and careful maintenance are crucial to ensuring optimal and long-lasting results. To maintain the brightness of your smile over time, simple periodic home applications will be enough.
