Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment applied in a clinic or at home. Cleaning and doctor recommendations are important. The teeth whitening procedure is a cosmetic dentistry process with various techniques and materials applied to teeth that have discolored due to internal or external factors.
It is important to understand the cause of the discoloration before this procedure is performed. Because while some discolorations are caused by external factors, others may be due to internal causes. And the most critical point is that not every discoloration can be whitened.
Whitening Methods
The whitening process can be done in a dental clinic (Office-Type Whitening) or at home with custom-made appliances prepared for you (Home-Type Whitening). Alternatively, both applications can be done together. The most effective method is the application where office-type and home-type whitening are performed together.
