Specialised Teeth Whitening Treatment in Hyderabad

As the name suggests, teeth whitening is the process of making the teeth white by getting rid of accumulated stains and discoloration. The stains are usually yellow in color and it is due to a chemical compound called chromogens. To get rid of the yellow stains, one has to get rid of chromogens by practicing some form of teeth whitening procedure. The intensity of the procedure depends upon the type and reason for the stains.

The nature of the stains are categorized into two parts namely intrinsic and extrinsic. In intrinsic stains, the discolouration happens from within the teeth due to factors such as genes, age, etc. In extrinsic stains, the teeth become yellow because of external sources such as food, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.

Teeth bleaching refers to the process of breaking down the chromogens by oxidizing chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide. Whether it be physical removal or chemical removal of stains, lightning the teeth color can be achieved by a variety of methods.

The time that the effects of teeth bleaching last depends on the procedure undertaken to do it. Most in-Office treatments last upto 6 months and sometimes upto 3 years all depending upon the lifestyle of the person. The efficacy of the treatment will be compromised if you consume more teeth staining foods without proper oral hygiene.

Teeth whitening may not directly impact the overall hygiene of your mouth. However, teeth whitening works best when done in-office, and visiting the clinic includes regular dental checkups. Your clinician will have a dental and medical history of you, so any follow up needed on your dental restorations or fillings will be done. This will result in better oral hygiene eventually. Whitening is majorly done just for the aesthetics.
