Teeth Whitening

Dental deep cleaning and teeth whitening are applications that directly relate to oral and dental health, where the digestive system begins, and prevent different ailments.

Tartar is the mineralized plaque that builds up on the teeth. Over time, it can lead to yellowing of the tooth surface, tooth decay and gum disease. It cannot be removed with brushing and flossing alone. Professional dental cleaning should be performed by dentists for people over the age of 18.

Scaling and root planing process is carried out by scraping the teeth with a special tool and then cleaning them with water and air. The procedure is usually painless and takes about 20 minutes to 1 hour. Tooth scaling can be performed to prevent tooth decay and gum disease and to remove discoloration or staining. If necessary, this procedure can be repeated every six months on average.

Teeth whitening, on the other hand, is a procedure to whiten teeth or remove discoloration. Teeth may turn yellow or stained over time due to factors such as aging, smoking, coffee, tea, red wine and the consumption of some other foods. By removing the stains formed with this application, the teeth appear whiter.

There are two types of discoloration on people's teeth. The problem of internal discoloration has reached the inside of the tooth. Teeth whitening is very effective in this case. In external discoloration, the above-mentioned foods adhere to the tooth surface. Deep dental cleaning is often effective in this case. In any case, different solutions may be preferred.

Teeth whitening is performed with special gels that are suitable for the person's teeth. It is a painless process and takes about an hour. It is a quick and effective method to return teeth to their natural color. However, regular oral care after the procedure and consumption of staining foods should be avoided.
