Teeth Whitening

The most common causes of tooth discoloration are beverages such as coffee, soda, and wine, tobacco products such as cigarettes, and medicines used for certain medical conditions such as asthma and high blood pressure. In addition, poor oral hygiene and excessive fluoride exposure are among the causes of yellow teeth.

There are several treatment options to consider for those who decide to invest in a whiter, brighter smile. Among these, one of the most satisfactory and preferred solutions is professional teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening is done at the dentist's office and involves the direct application of a bleaching agent to the teeth.

Special lights or lasers can also be used to improve whitening performance. Depending on the degree of discoloration of the teeth, the treatment may include one or more sessions ranging from about 30 minutes to one hour.

How Does it Work?

As you grow older, your teeth naturally darken –but teeth staining can also be caused by smoking, the drinks, and the food you eat. There are several teeth whitening options available today, but the most effective one is the dental teeth whitening treatment.

What Does a Teeth Whitening Procedure Involve?

The teeth whitening procedure takes between 30 and 90 minutes per session to complete –of course, this depends on the technique used. In most cases, you will have to 3 sessions on different days. But this varies from one patient to the other, and it depends on the severity of the stains and desired whiteness.

We understand that every patient is different, so we carefully plan your trip from A-Z and we hook you up with an expert dentist who can customize the procedure so as to suit your preferences, goals, expectations as well as the dental clinic’s best practices. Here are some of the stages you should expect when you choose to have this procedure:  

1.     Inserting the cheek retractor

Your dentist will insert a cheek retractor into your mouth to pull the lips and cheeks back. This is not painful, and it makes it easy for your dentist to access your teeth.

2.     Applying the protection solution to gums

To protect the gums from the bleaching agent, the dentist will apply a hardening resin.

3.     Applying the bleaching gel

After the protection solution is applied, your dentist will apply the teeth whitening gel to your teeth. The gel will be left untouched for 15 to 30 minutes so that it settles well on all of your teeth. 

4.     Cleaning the gel from the teeth

When the dentist is satisfied that the bleaching gel has settled in well, he/she will clean the bleaching gel from your teeth. Another fresh gel will be applied and given 15 to 30 minutes to settle.

5.     Using the UV or LED light

To accelerate and enhance the whitening process, the dentist will use an ultraviolet or led light when the gel is still on your teeth.

6.     Checking up the teeth

Your dentist will check the teeth after each gel application to understand how many applications you will need. Some patients may require more than three gel applications.

7.     After the applying last gel

After applying the last gel, your dentist will remove the cheek retractor. Your mouth will then be washed and the color difference will be measured.

What Should I Expect After the Laser Teeth Whitening Procedure?

• After the teeth whitening procedure, expect your teeth to be sensitive in the first two days.
• You should avoid hot and cold foods and beverages in the first two days after the procedure.
• You should avoid colored soft or alcoholic beverages such as tea, coffee, red wine or cola so as to maintain the whiteness after the procedure.
• If you want your results to last longer, you should stop smoking for good.
• Red meat, soy sauce, chocolate, and dark-colored fruits should also be avoided as they can stain the color of your teeth.
• You should replace your toothpaste with toothpaste that is teeth sensitive.
• You need to continue regular oral hygiene practices on a daily basis. These include flossing and brushing.

Things You Should Do Before Teeth Whitening Procedure

• A week before the procedure, you should stop taking Aspirin and any other meds associated with blood thinning.
• If you are allergic to any drugs, you should inform your surgeon as soon as possible.
• Patients are advised to avoid smoking 24 hours before the surgery.
• Consuming any alcoholic beverages can affect anesthesia. So you should not take in anything alcoholic 24 hours prior to surgery.
• If you are taking meds for chronic or acute diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, you should inform your surgeon before the surgery commences.

  I had a wonderful experience booking my dental work with Flymedi. I needed a fair amount of work done and was required to visit twice but luckily the clinic was so hygienic and professional that it was a no-brainer to return. The dentist was great, and I knew exactly what was going to happen in each session.

  I absolutely love the way my teeth look now, and I’m so happy I decided to go through with it as it was two trips to Turkey but totally worth it! I had to get a lot of work done actually as my teeth weren’t in the best shape, so I was quite scared, but the clinic was so clean and hygienic and the staff super professional.

  I was considering several different options, however Abud was by far the most committed and helpful of all the agents I'd been in discussions with. Everything was organised for me and I was guided throughout and if I was feeling apprehensive about anything or had any questions Abud was always on hand to answer my questions and give reassurances. I'm so happy with the results of my operation and I was left overwhelmed by how friendly and supportive everyone was throughout. If you're considering using flymedi then I can honestly say you'll be delighted with the service both before during and after your surgery.
