White teeth, the first striking element of self-confidence and aesthetics, are also one of the signs of cleanliness and health. No matter how meticulous we are about dental care, sometimes the drugs used, especially the foods consumed in daily life, or structural reasons can cause the teeth to turn yellow. These yellowing cause self-confidence problems. So, is it possible to get rid of this situation? Certainly ! Today, it is very easy to have a beautiful smile with the teeth whitening process applied in qualified clinics.
Bleaching (Teeth Whitening) Process
The treatment of removing the colored substances formed in the porous enamel and dentin structure on the surface of the teeth with tooth whitening gels is called teeth whitening. Changes in tooth color, which may differ from person to person, can occur for many different reasons. Physiological discolorations, root canal treatment, discoloration as a result of filling, coloration due to antibiotic use in pregnancy and infancy are internal discoloration of the tooth. However, there are different causes such as discoloration due to the frequent use of products such as coffee, tea, cigarettes, and discoloration caused by the loss of vitality of the living tissue inside the tooth as a result of trauma.
How Tooth Bleaching Is Performed?
Bleaching is the process of removing the discoloration that occurs in the structure of the teeth (enamel and dentin layer). There are two different whitening methods currently known. The first method is a method that the patient can apply on his own, the stages are as follows;
- The dentist takes measurements from the mouth and prepares thin rubber molds that are attached to the teeth.
- It is requested that the medicine is placed in the prepared special mold and put this mold on the teeth to be whitened for at least 30-45 minutes a day.
- Treatment ends in 1-2 weeks on average.
The second method is whitening performed by a specialist dentist in the clinic, which is applied as follows;
- The whitening material is placed on the tooth by a dentist experienced in this procedure.
- A laser or ultraviolet light source is kept on the relevant tooth for a certain period of time.
- When the process is finished, the result is immediately observed. Although these two methods are more effective than those applied at home, the choice varies according to the degree of discoloration, how quickly the treatment is desired to be terminated and the opinion of the dentist.
Do Teeth Return to Their Old Color After Whitening?
Teeth will always be whiter than before. However, depending on the habits and oral care of the patients, a reinforcement treatment that is used once or twice a year may be required. This is often observed in patients who have habits such as coffee, cigarettes, and red wine.
So, Which Country Should I Prefer for Teeth Bleaching (Whitening)?
Turkey is considered among the top 10 countries in the world in health tourism and dental treatments are one of the strongest field of it. Turkey is one of the popular destinations that foreign patients choose confidently to have their dental treatment, with experienced and specialist dentists, comfortable and hygienic hospitals equipped with the latest technology materials, a treatment process that is carefully planned according to their needs and followed meticulously, and quite obvious price advantages. In addition, being a real tourism paradise allows patients to combine the treatment process with a relaxing holiday, which is an important reason for preference.
Especially with the global crisis and changing world conditions in recent years, many European countries have changed their health policies and decided to exclude their citizens’ dental treatments from the insurance coverage. In case they have high-priced prosthesis and dental implant treatments in their own country, the state or health insurances do not cover these fees and the patients have to pay for the implants and prostheses themselves.
