Professional Teeth Whitening in Jerusalem
We were all born with white teeth and would like to keep them that way for as long as possible. Unfortunately, over the years our teeth change their color naturally due to many possible causes. Whether it’s food coloring, soda, coffee, alcohol, smoking or other materials, or because of germs and dental diseases that cause the teeth to turn yellowish and sometimes can even cause brown spots. Teeth whitening treatment in Jerusalem lets you to turn back the clock.
How Do You Whiten Teeth?
The precise term is actually teeth brightening and not teeth whitening, since every patient might react differently to the materials used in the teeth whitening process. That means that we can’t guarantee that your teeth will be as white as snow once we’re done, but in most cases, at least some brightening of the teeth will be possible.
Before a patient starts teeth whitening treatments, it is recommended to go for a full dental cleaning, including tartar removal and any kind of other dirt that may affect the teeth’s color. This is most important when a patient is planning to get dental crowns, since the teeth whitening process only affects natural teeth, so it’s better to match the color of the artificial teeth to the natural teeth (and not match the color of the natural teeth to the dental crowns).
Teeth whitening is composed of several stages. In Stela Heisler’s clinic, we will first measure the patient’s jaws and prepare personally fitted molds. We also give each patient a home teeth-whitening kit that includes whitening formula syringes and instruct the patient as to how to use the kit. During the next stage, the patient will continue the treatment on their own for two hours every day, for two weeks.
What To Do After Teeth Whitening?
After your Jerusalem Teeth Whitening Treatment, the teeth become very sensitive to stains, which is why it’s better to avoid challenging them with foods or drinks that contain food coloring. It’s also best to avoid coffee, tea, sodas, and it’s best to just drink mostly water – not necessarily for those who have just undergone teeth whitening treatments. It’s also best to avoid smoking after your treatment (and for good).
Why Should I Do Teeth Whitening Treatments at the Clinic, if I Can Do It at Home by Myself?
Even though nowadays it’s rather easy to purchase at-home teeth whitening kits, or tooth paste that contains teeth whitening substances, the active substance is not as concentrated and therefor the affect is limited. They can be used by the patient for maintenance of the result over time, but it would be best not to rely solely on them for the initial result. The dental clinic treatment, with the initial treatment that is performed at the clinic, with the personally fitted chocks and the dentist’s supervision, while following clear orders at home – guarantees a better result in a shorter period of time.
Teeth Whitening: Side Effects
During and after the teeth whitening process, the teeth might be more vulnerable to heat and cold (mostly to cold), and if the whitening matter substances touches the gums, some burning sensation could be felt. Slight changes to your sense of taste could also occur. In any case, these are very mild side effects that should pass over time.
