Whitening

Tooth bleaching is a technique used to lighten the initial color of the tooth.

Although this technique is generally easy and without complications, it is necessary before proceeding, to do a clinical examination in order to have a clean oral cavity (decay’s cleaning, scaling…).

Once these two criteria are met, 2 options are proposed to you:

-A chairside bleaching:

It lasts an average of 45 minutes and provides an instant result.

The protocol for this type of bleaching is very simple, the dentist begins by

protecting your lips and gums so that only your teeth are exposed, then the dentist applies a whitening gel and leaves it on for 45 minutes, and that’s it!

Your dentist can also suggest that you complete your bleaching with the help of a dental tray and a gel that you will wear for a week.

Advantages :

-Immediate result

-Time saving

At-home bleaching with trays:

Rest assured, teeth bleaching with trays is just as professional as chairside bleaching because it is prescribed by a dentist.

, thus guaranteeing you a treatment that is adapted to your needs and a safe follow-u.

However, unlike chairside bleaching, the results are not immediate, but gradually improves during the treatment; teeth shade become lighter after each use.
