Do you dream of a beautifully white smile? Teeth whitening is one of the most sought-after aesthetic procedures in dental care \u2014 whether you choose at-home whitening or in-office whitening, the result may pleasantly surprise you.<\/p>\n
At Esthesion, we offer both whitening options, each with its own advantages. We will be happy to help you choose the most suitable one for you.<\/p>\n
Tooth discolouration can be caused by a wide range of factors \u2014 from consuming coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking, to ageing, genetics, or the use of certain medications. Teeth whitening helps remove pigmentation and restores your teeth to their naturally fresh appearance.<\/p>\n
The active whitening agent is hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, or sodium perborate. For each patient, there is an individual threshold beyond which these substances can damage the teeth.<\/p>\n
If the dentist reaches this threshold, the whitening process is stopped immediately, even if the desired result has not yet been achieved. The whitening process is also stopped in cases of allergic reaction, tooth pain, or enamel erosion.<\/p>\n
When whitening non-vital (root-canal treated) teeth, the whitening material is not applied to the enamel but from inside the tooth, which may lead to damage to the root system, or fracture or cracking of the dental crown. When the gel is applied to the tooth, the carbamide peroxide breaks down and releases oxygen, which penetrates the dentin and enamel and bleaches pigment deposits. The tooth structure remains unchanged.<\/p>\n
Clinical tests have demonstrated that the whitening system is completely safe.<\/p>\n
In-office whitening is performed directly at our clinic under the supervision of an experienced dentist or dental hygienist. First, the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and their condition is checked. The gums are protected with a special gel or rubber dam. Then, a whitening gel (usually hydrogen peroxide-based) is applied and activated using a special LED or UV lamp. The whitening process takes place in 2\u20133 cycles of approximately 15\u201320 minutes, so the entire procedure lasts about 60\u201390 minutes.<\/p>\n
At Esthesion, we work with the modern and gentle Opalescence whitening systems, which combine high effectiveness with maximum safety.<\/p>\n
The result is visible immediately after the procedure \u2014 teeth can be 4\u20135 shades lighter. The effect lasts 1\u20133 years depending on lifestyle.<\/p>\n
At-home whitening uses custom-made trays (splints) that you fill with a special whitening gel and wear according to your dentist’s recommendations, usually for 1\u20132 weeks, approximately 1\u20132 hours per day or overnight.<\/p>\n
This method is gentler and allows for gradual lightening of teeth in the comfort of your home. It is also ideal as a maintenance method after in-office whitening.<\/p>\n
We most commonly use professional whitening gels with carbamide peroxide from trusted brands such as Opalescence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The price of at-home whitening and in-office whitening is according to our current price list.<\/p>\n Yes \u2014 if performed professionally. At Esthesion, everything takes place under the supervision of experienced staff. Short-term tooth sensitivity is common but subsides quickly. Whitening does not damage tooth enamel and does not affect fillings or crowns.<\/p>\n Whitening itself is not painful, but it may cause temporary tooth or gum sensitivity \u2014 this usually subsides within a few hours to days. We will recommend sensitivity-reducing gels or toothpastes.<\/p>\n The result of in-office whitening usually lasts 1\u20133 years, depending on how you care for your teeth and your lifestyle. For at-home whitening, it depends on the length and regularity of the treatment.<\/p>\n Whitening only works on natural teeth \u2014 fillings, crowns, and veneers do not change their shade. If they are in the visible part of your smile, they may need to be replaced after whitening.<\/p>\n We recommend in-office whitening no more than once a year. At-home whitening (e.g. as a maintenance treatment) can be done more frequently as recommended by your dentist.<\/p>\n After whitening, we recommend avoiding foods and drinks with intense colour (coffee, red wine, blueberries, curry, etc.) and smoking for 24\u201348 hours. In short: follow the so-called white diet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Whitening is not recommended for children, pregnant or nursing women, and people with untreated dental problems. It is also good to know that crowns, veneers, and fillings will not change their shade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you dream of a beautifully white smile?
