Teeth Whitening in Valencia

It is a simple, safe and effective process that can significantly improve the appearance of the smile.

The teeth whitening procedure begins with a complete dental evaluation, in which our team of dentists will determine if the patient is a good candidate for treatment. If the necessary requirements are met, the teeth are cleaned prior to whitening.

Once the tooth is clean, 35% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied to the surface of the teeth. This gel is activated by an LED light source, which accelerates the whitening process.

The duration of the treatment may vary depending on the degree of discoloration of the patient’s teeth, but it usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. During this time, the patient is seated while the treatment is performed.

The results of teeth whitening are immediate and noticeable. Teeth can be whitened up to 8 shades in a single session, although this depends on each particular case. It is important to keep in mind that teeth whitening is not a permanent treatment, so it is advisable to perform it periodically to maintain the results.

Once teeth whitening has been performed, it is important to follow a series of precautions to maintain the results obtained. First of all, it is necessary to avoid foods and beverages that can stain the teeth, such as coffee, tea or red wine. It is also important to brush your teeth after every meal and use dental floss to remove any food debris that may remain between the teeth.

Poor dental hygiene and the consumption of certain products can lead to the appearance of dental stains. There are different types of dental stains that can be classified as:

• Intrinsic stains. These are stains that affect the teeth during their formation phase, that is, before they erupt (come out) in the mouth. They may be caused by taking certain medications such as tetracyclines, enamel defects, vitamin deficiency or fluorosis. They can also appear due to blows or traumatisms, fractures or simply due to dental aging, thus acquiring a darker shade due to the passage of time.
• Extrinsic stains. They occur because the teeth come into contact with pigmenting agents present in certain foods and beverages, such as wine, tea, coffee or other substances such as tobacco. They can also originate after prolonged use of oral rinses and toothpastes made with chlorhexidine.

The price of treatment varies depending on each particular case, but in our dental clinic in Valencia we offer affordable options for our patients, because we believe that dental beauty does not have to be out of reach of anyone.

The result of teeth whitening can last from six months to a year, depending on your eating and dental care habits. If you avoid foods and beverages that stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea and red wine, and maintain good oral hygiene, you can prolong the results.

Tooth whitening, regardless of the patient’s habits, requires annual maintenance at the dental clinic so that the results remain optimal for as long as possible.

During the treatment there may be a slight sensitivity in the teeth, but in general it is a painless and safe procedure. In our dental clinic in Valencia, we make sure that our patients feel comfortable during the whole process.

Each person is different, and each one responds to sensitivity in a different way, so depending on the first evaluation we will prescribe a few days before using the desensitizing gel with the splint a few hours a day, so that the day we do the whitening will be more pleasant for the patient.
