Teeth Whitening Limassol

Chair side bleaching, also referred to as laser whitening when a laser is used - is a method of tooth whitening that takes place in the dentist's clinic. This procedure lasts half an hour and an hour. We begin by checking for cavities and cleaning the teeth thoroughly. Then, protective gel or a rubber shield is applied to the soft tissue in the mouth to protect it. Next, a peroxide-based bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and left on for a predetermine period of time. In laser bleaching, a laser is directed at the teeth to enhance the bleaching effect. Several visits may be necessary to whiten particularly troublesome teeth. The procedure is very quick and effective. Problems are also less frequent in chair side bleaching than in other methods because the dentist is in control.

At-home tooth whitening kit is nearly as powerful as chair side bleaching. In this form of treatment, the patient's teeth are checked for cavities and cleaned, then impressions are taken and plastic trays are produced at the lab, customized for each patient. This tray fits much more snugly than those available over the counter, and rarely results in complications. It is also light and unobtrusive enough to be used while sleeping or at work. The dentist also provides the patient with a whitening gel. We may instruct the patient to wear the trays overnight or periodically during the day. Treatment may last anywhere from two to six weeks.
