What is teeth whitening and how can it transform your smile in Vélez-Málaga? 🤔
Teeth whitening is a dental procedure that uses whitening agents to remove stains and discolouration from the surface of the teeth, revealing a lighter, brighter shade of enamel. Over time, teeth can darken because of things like certain foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine), smoking, age or some medicines. Professional teeth whitening at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic can reverse these effects and bring the brightness back to your smile. ✨
What types of teeth whitening do we offer at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic? 🌟
At our clinic in Vélez-Málaga, we offer different methods of teeth whitening to suit your needs and preferences (if you want to compare them in more detail, including internal whitening, read our article on the types of teeth whitening):
- In-clinic teeth whitening: carried out in a single session at our clinic, with a high-concentration gel and after first protecting your gums. Results are usually visible straight away. 🦷
- Supervised at-home teeth whitening: we give you custom-made trays and a lower-concentration gel to use at home following our instructions. It is a more gradual method, always supervised by our dentists. 🏡
- Combined teeth whitening: in some cases, we may recommend combining both methods for the best, longest-lasting results. It starts with an in-clinic whitening session for an initial lightening, followed by sessions at home to maintain and boost the results.
What are the benefits of professional teeth whitening in Vélez-Málaga? 😊
Choosing professional teeth whitening at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic has plenty of advantages:
- Safety: our treatments are safe and controlled, keeping the risk of tooth sensitivity or gum damage to a minimum.
- Effectiveness: professional whitening agents are stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products, giving more noticeable results.
- Personalisation: we tailor the treatment to your specific needs and the shade you’d like for your smile.
- Professional supervision: our dentists will guide you through the whole process and answer all your questions.
- Fast results: in-clinic whitening gives immediate results, ideal if you have a special event coming up in Vélez-Málaga.
- A boost to your self-esteem: a whiter, brighter smile can increase your confidence and make you feel better about yourself. 😄
Am I a good candidate for teeth whitening in Torre del Mar? 🤔
Most people can benefit from teeth whitening. However, there are a few things to bear in mind:
- Oral health: it’s essential to have a healthy mouth, with no decay or active gum disease, before having teeth whitening.
- Type of stains: teeth whitening works best on extrinsic (surface) stains caused by food, drink or tobacco. Intrinsic (internal) stains, such as those caused by some medicines or injuries, can be harder to remove and may need other treatment options.
- Dental restorations: fillings, crowns and veneers don’t whiten. If you have visible restorations, you may need to replace them after whitening so they match the new shade of your teeth.
Our professionals at Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic will assess your case and let you know whether teeth whitening is right for you.
Teeth whitening in Vélez-Málaga step by step: what to expect ⏳
This, in general terms, is the journey of a patient who comes to our clinic to have their teeth whitened:
- First assessment visit: we check your teeth and gums, look at the type of stains you have and record your starting shade.
- Cleaning beforehand: if there is tartar or surface staining, we remove it first so that the gel works evenly.
- Choosing the method: we decide with you whether in-clinic, at-home or combined whitening is best.
- Treatment and review: we carry out the session or give you the trays, then check the result and give you maintenance advice.
During and after whitening
During in-clinic whitening, you may notice some mild tooth sensitivity, which is usually temporary. We protect your gums to minimise any discomfort. The procedure usually takes between one and two hours.
With at-home whitening, it’s important to follow our dentists’ instructions on how long to wear the trays and how much gel to apply.
After any type of teeth whitening, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that stain your teeth for at least the first 48 hours. If you want to know how long your result will last and how to maintain it, we explain it in our article on how long teeth whitening lasts.
