Does Teeth Whitening Damage Teeth?
Professional teeth whitening procedures performed under physician control have no permanent damage on tooth enamel. The gels used break down only color pigments without disturbing the structure of the tooth.
Office Type vs. Home Type Whitening
Office Type: Applied in the clinic, uses high concentration gels and laser light. Gives results in approximately 1 hour.
Home Type: Personalized trays are prepared. The patient applies the gels given by the physician to these trays and uses them at home. The process takes 1-2 weeks.
How Long Does the Effect Last?
The permanence of the whitening procedure can vary between 6 months and 2 years depending on the person's eating habits (tea, coffee, cigarette consumption).
Whitening with Baking Soda and Lemon?
Baking soda-lemon mixtures common among the public scratch and wear down tooth enamel. These methods cause teeth to yellow faster and become sensitive in the long run. Professional methods should be preferred.
