This is the most commonly requested cosmetic dentistry procedure at our clinic. It’s designed to enhance your appearance by reducing tooth discoloration and staining to elicit a brighter, whiter and beautiful smile.
You may feel that your teeth are too discolored to ever be white again, but cosmetic dentists in our clinic are achieving amazing results with the newest techniques.
Reasons For Teeth Discoloration
Tooth discoloration and staining is a relatively common problem. Tooth is a porous and are therefore not stain resistant.
Red wine, soda, coffee and tea, among other food and drink, contribute to the discoloration of it over time. Medications such as the antibiotic tetracycline can cause significant staining, resulting in yellow, grayish teeth. Smokers’ teeth discolor rate is the fastest. Discoloration can also occur secondary to conditions such as fluorosis, dentin and enamel dysplasia and dental caries.
Tooth trauma caused by a fall or collision can cause tooth discoloration. Trauma could result in tooth death (tooth necrosis) which would cause discoloration. Typically, dental root canal therapy is required as the treatment for tooth necrosis, after which internal bleaching can be performed to correct discoloration at our Modern Dental Clinic in Dubai.
Tooth brushing alone can’t brighten teeth dulled by years of exposure to such discoloring agents. In fact, people with dull and discolored teeth sometimes over-brush in an attempt to eliminate stains, and this can harm the enamel covering of the tooth.
This is the best and the most effective solution to discoloration. However, the effectiveness of whitening can vary, depending on the individual.
In a very rare cases, tooth discoloration is so severe that whitening alone cannot fully treat the problem. In these situations, veneers might be a better option. Dentist in our dental clinic in Dubai can advise you about this.
Teeth Whitening system in Modern Dental Clinic in Dubai
The advantage of having your teeth whitened in our clinic is that this approach is fast and produces immediate improvement. Typically, your teeth can be whitened by several shades within 20 minutes, dramatically improving your appearance in the shortest possible time. Whitening in dental clinic is unique in this respect, as our dentist has control over achieving your specific goals.
During your whitening procedure, you are made comfortable while your mouth is being prepared. Our dentist places a guard in your mouth to protect the lips and gums from a gel that is applied to the teeth.
In our clinic, the process is separated into cycles ranging from 15-20 minutes and number of cycles depends on how white and bright you want you smile to be.
Maintenance Whitening Kit for Home Use
After your whitening is done at our clinic, our dentists will offer you a maintenance kit for night and day to help you keep your smile beautiful.
This kit should be used after 3-4 months after the whitening was done.
The gel is applied to a custom made tray that you put in your mouth from the morning or before going to sleep for one hour time. This will help you to maintain the bright white color for a long time.
The tray can be order-made at our Clinic.
What Does The Cost Depend On?
The overall cost of th procdure depends on many factors, some of which include:
• Which whitening procedure do the dentist use.
• Number of cycles made.
• The brand that you select.
• Your dental insurance (cosmetic dentistry is typically not covered by insurance).
Maintaining Your Whiter Smile
In order to maximize the longevity of your whitening treatment, it is important to avoid food and drink that could stain your teeth for about a week after it was done, as well as to refrain from smoking.
Dentists in our dental clinic will advise you how to maintain excellent oral hygiene (brush and floss after every meal) and steer clear of some of the more common causes of discoloration (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, etc.).
Some of the tips our clinic recommends to keep your teeth white is, using a straw, even with coffee and tea. Smokers wishing to undergo treatment are advised to stop smoking for at least two days in order to prevent the staining it causes. Discuss such other recommendations with our dentist during your initial consultation.
