Professional Teeth Whitening
Getting your teeth whitened professionally is a safer and more effective choice. It guarantees durable results. The outcome is a beautiful and dazzling smile. It is the best teeth-whitening option available.
The Cinik Dental Clinic's teeth-whitening session follows these basic steps:
Examination And Consultation
The teeth whitening session at Cinik Dental begins with our expert dentists performing a thorough examination of your teeth, followed by choosing the shade of white you are aiming for from a shade guide.
The initial consultation process may include detailed scans to rule out infections, tooth decay, and dental caries. If you have healthy teeth and enamel for teeth-whitening, we will continue.

![](https://cinikdental.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/teeth-whitening-03.png)
Teeth Whitening Process
As the first step of the teeth-whitening procedure, the Cinik Dental staff performs a professional cleaning of your teeth. The Cinik Dental staff applies a protective gel to the gums once they have cleaned your teeth of all unnecessary material. This shields them from the bleaching material.
Now your teeth are ready for the application of the bleaching or whitening agent. A 15%–43% concentration of bleaching agent is applied to your teeth. It is left there for around 15–20 minutes. During this time, whitening laser light is used to activate the whitening agent for optimum results.
Once the desired shade of white is reached, the gel is removed from the tooth surface.
Common Bleaching Agents
Whitening treatment at a dental clinic usually uses hydrogen peroxide. At-home prescription tooth whitening kits use carbamide peroxide as a bleaching agent. Dental clinics use higher concentrations of bleaching agents compared to at-home kits.

Types of Teeth Whitening Procedures
For the treatment of both intrinsic and extrinsic stains, there are three types of common dental whitening treatments for both intrinsic and extrinsic stains:
This is the most effective and long-lasting form of teeth whitening. Teeth whitening at a dental clinic has two main benefits. It offers effective whitening and a higher safety profile.
Trained dental practitioners use higher concentrations of bleaching agents. They address both intrinsic and extrinsic stains. This helps restore tooth color. The results of sessions at a dentist’s office are quick and last longer than other forms of whitening treatments.
Dentists are trained professionals who minimize risks to your teeth and enamel. This raises the safety profile of the whitening treatment.
Your dentist may prescribe home whitening kits. These have lower concentrations of bleaching agents. They provide a slow and consistent whitening boost to your teeth.
These prescription kits are specific to your teeth. They are custom-made under your dentist’s guidance. This ensures the desired teeth-whitening effect. At-home prescription teeth whitening kits work slower over a longer period of time.
There is no substitute for professional teeth-whitening. You should have it done at a reputable dental clinic. This guarantees the guidance of expert dental professionals. It ensures the best teeth-whitening results with a high level of safety, and the outcomes are consistent and long-lasting.
Attempting to whiten your teeth at home with OTC whitening products may produce variable results. The lack of professional guidance may also result in unwanted side effects or damage to your tooth enamel.
Over-the-counter whitening products do whiten teeth to some extent. However, the results only last with regular use. Discontinuing the product leads to a reversal of the whitening effect.
Advantages of Teeth Whitening
There are many benefits to a professional teeth whitening procedure. Such as:

Boosting Smiles and Confidence
Professional teeth whitening improves the aesthetics of your smile. It also gives you a confidence boost in personal and professional interactions.

Oral Hygiene
Teeth whitening procedures improve oral health by removing all types of stains and discolorations from the teeth. As the maintenance of teeth whitening requires regular cleaning by dental professionals, it reduces the chances of cavities, dental caries, gum disease, and plaque formation.

Quick Procedure And Results
Professional teeth whitening provides almost instantaneous results and with proper maintenance, the whitening effect may last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years.

Safer And Consistent Outcomes
The whitening process is done at a reliable dental clinic. Professional dentists are in charge of supervising it, ensuring a safer procedure. This leads to more consistent and long-lasting outcomes.
What Is Dental Teeth Whitening?
Dental teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that provides whiter and brighter teeth.
A process that changes the color of human teeth, making them whiter and removing stains, is known as a dental teeth whitening or bleaching treatment. From whitening toothpastes, dental strips, and OTC whitening options to in-office whitening treatments, there is an array of dental whitening options available to use.
Most people will achieve some level of whitening effect by using one or more of the treatments mentioned above.
Teeth whitening to improve one’s appearance is not a new concept. It existed even in ancient Egypt, almost 4000 years ago.
How Do I Get a Teeth Whitening Session?
For deep-seated or more stubborn teeth stains, a professional in-office whitening session is required. On this page, we will respond to your form within 24 hours. You can also ask your dentist about prescribing an at-home dental treatment or kit for long-term whitening.
There are several different types of whitening treatment options available to you. Good results depend on tooth condition and stain type.
Most people try their hand at whitening toothpaste, whitening gels, and mouthwashes before they move on to more professional options. Those types of teeth-whitening products can only remove the most superficial and mild stains.

![](https://cinikdental.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/teeth-whitening-10.jpg)
Are teeth-whitening and Bleaching the Same Thing?
In normal conversation, both these terms are used interchangeably to refer to lightening the color of teeth. They are not exactly the same, though.
A bleaching treatment uses a bleaching agent like hydrogen peroxide. Any product that makes teeth whiter is considered “teeth whitening,” like whitening toothpaste or mouthwashes.
An expert dentist at a dental clinic or practice administers teeth-whitening treatments as in-office procedures.
Indications of Teeth Whitening
Teeth-whitening procedures work better in some situations than others. The optimal indications for a teeth-whitening treatment include:
- Discoloration from age-related dental changes
- Extrinsic stains from various foods, beverages, or daily habits
- Dental staining or discoloration from age spots
- Intrinsic stains from medicines, fluorosis, and genetics
- Tobacco stains
Teeth Whitening Systems
Modern-day teeth whitening consists of two types of procedures: bleaching agents and abrasives.
Different bleaching materials, like hydrogen peroxide, are part of the teeth-whitening process at a dental clinic and in many at-home teeth-whitening kits. The difference is in the concentration. Dentists use higher concentrations (15% to 43%) of bleaching agents, while a lower concentration is prescribed for at-home treatments (3% to 20%).
Whitening toothpaste contains abrasive materials like silica, charcoal, or baking soda. These materials rub off plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. The concept is that the abrasives are not harder than the teeth themselves and, hence, do not cause damage to the enamel. In practice, though, some whitening toothpastes with higher concentrations of abrasives are more likely to cause enamel damage.
Over-the-counter Whitening Treatments
You don’t need a prescription to buy these treatments; they are available from pharmacies as over-the-counter products. They may or may not work for you, depending on the status of your teeth and the type of staining.
There is a risk that these may have higher levels of abrasive agents that may lead to enamel damage. The whitening effects of OTC treatments are variable and prone to disappear once the treatment is stopped. Some examples of OTC whitening treatments are whitening strips and gels, whitening night guards or customized trays, whitening toothpaste and mouthwashes, and whitening chewing gum.

![](https://cinikdental.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/teeth-whitening-12.jpg)
Post Treatment Guidelines For Teeth Whitening
For optimum teeth-whitening results, it is advisable to consume only water in the first hour after the procedure. You should avoid staining foods and beverages as well as smoking for 24 hours after the procedure.
Some may feel sensitivity in the teeth or gums in the early post-treatment period. In most cases, this will disappear in half an hour.
Consideration For Teeth Whitening
Before making your teeth-whitening appointment, keep the following considerations in mind. This will help you make an informed decision.
- There is a limit to the level of whitening that is achievable, even with professional treatments.
- The eventual result of the professional teeth-whitening procedure takes a little bit of time to be seen.
- You should avoid attempting a dental restoration procedure at least two weeks after the teeth are whitening.
- If you already have dental prosthetics like veneers, they will need replacement to match the results of the teeth-whitening process.
- Sometimes yellow or discolored tooth roots are visible as a result of gum recession. This exposed root may not bleach as effectively as the actual teeth during the bleaching process.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you shouldn’t have any teeth-whitening treatment. In cases of accidental swallowing, the exact effects of the bleaching agent on the health of the growing fetus or baby are not known.
Aftercare
Like any other dental procedure, the effects of professional teeth whitening will last longer with proper maintenance and care.
For the durability and longevity of your radiant smile after your whitening procedure at Cinik Dental, avoid these situations and habits.
Avoid These Foods And Beverages
It is better to avoid solid and liquid foods that are prone to staining your teeth like tea, coffee, sodas, juices, raspberries, blueberries, etc.
Realistically, though, many people enjoy these foods and beverages and won’t stop consuming them completely. Even if that is the case, be sure to take precautions. Use a straw and rinse your mouth with water after drinking a dark-colored beverage.
Oral Hygiene Routine
A good and consistent oral hygiene routine, including proper brushing and flossing, will keep your teeth white. It is also better for the overall health of your teeth and oral cavity.

![](https://cinikdental.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/teeth-whitening-14.jpg)
Routine Dental Follow-ups
Routine dental visits are important for oral health. They become a necessity after getting a dental procedure like teeth whitening. At a minimum, six-monthly dental follow-ups are advised. This helps maintain post-treatment care after a teeth-whitening procedure.
It allows the dentists at Cinik Dental to assess the status of your teeth and to fix any emerging issues before they can cause too much damage. Your dentist will usually perform a light cleaning of the teeth during each session. This plays an important role in keeping your smile looking perfect for a long time.
Quit Smoking
Tobacco is a well-known culprit for staining teeth. The tannins in tobacco, after mixing with your saliva, leave a brown stain over your teeth. The stains become darker and more deeply ingrained the longer you continue smoking.
How Long Do The Effects of Teeth Whitening Last?
The results of professional teeth whitening procedures vary from person to person. They depend on the status of the teeth and the consistency and quality of the maintenance routine.
On average, the results of teeth whitening done at a reliable dental clinic may last from 6 months to three years.
Who Shouldn’t Get Their Teeth Whitened?
As effective as teeth-whitening procedures can be in ensuring a sparkling and pearly-white smile, they rely on bleaching agents or abrasives to produce results. Therefore, some people should avoid getting their teeth whitened professionally or even at home.
These include:
- People suffering from gingival diseases
- Pregnant females
- Breastfeeding mothers
- Individuals suffering from teeth sensitivity issues
- Youngsters in their early teens
- People with allergies to bleaching agent (peroxide)
- Individuals with multiple dental prostheses or extensive dental restoration work

Risks of Teeth Whitening
The teeth-whitening procedure has very few side effects, but it is not 100% risk-free. The most commonly encountered risks of teeth whitening are:
Sensitive Teeth
Most people having dental teeth whitening procedures complain about sensitivity. The teeth temporarily become sensitive to temperature, touch, and pressure. Some people may experience this more than others. This is especially true for those with receding gums, exposed tooth roots, or malfunctioning dental restorations.
Gingival Irritation
Bleaching agents lead to irritation of gum tissue. Although all efforts are made to protect the gums from exposure to peroxide, inadvertent contact may occur. This can cause gingival irritation that lasts several days.
Inconsistent Color Profile
If you already have multiple dental restorations, like veneers, crowns, or dental implants, there is a fair chance that you may end up with color inconsistencies after teeth whitening. Dental prostheses do not bleach and have to be replaced for a proper shade match.
There is a small chance that you will lose the color of your natural teeth if you choose an unprofessional or unauthorized teeth whitening service. Your teeth would be whiter than you expected, and it would cause an unwanted look.
In conclusion, always choose a reputable dental clinic with a trustworthy and experienced dentist. This ensures a perfect smile and white teeth.
Shade Guide: The Perfect White
The achievable shade of white varies from person to person, depending on many factors. It will always be beneficial to discuss and decide upon your expectations with your dentist beforehand.
The professional dentists at Cinik Dental show you a dental shade guide. They explain the possibility of achieving the maximum shade of white according to the structure and health of your teeth.
Common Reasons For Teeth Stains
Teeth might become stained; that is normal. There are different reasons for this issue. The most common culprits are foods and beverages that lead to discoloration. These include various types of colas, juices, alcohol, cigarettes (tobacco), berries (raspberry, blueberry), and spices.
At times, the enamel over the teeth thins and the underlying dentin peeks through, giving the teeth a darker appearance.
Certain medicines (tetracyclines), if taken during early childhood, lead to tooth discoloration. Dental trauma is another common reason for the staining and discoloration of teeth.

![](https://cinikdental.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/teeth-whitening-18.jpg)
Types of Teeth Stains
Dental stains are broadly divided into two types. These include:
Intrinsic Dental Stains
Intrinsic stains are on the inside of teeth or enamel. The common causes of this type of staining include medicines (tetracyclines), chemicals (excessive fluoride), trauma, bruxism, or aging (thinning of dental enamel).
Exposure to tetracyclines or excessive ingestion of fluoride during early childhood can lead to intrinsic staining. This occurs before the teeth fully mature. Research suggests that some people might be prone to this type of stain due to genetic reasons.
In the past, intrinsic staining of teeth was hard to treat. However, professional teeth whitening treatments have advanced and can now remove deep-seated stains.
For more resistant cases, other cosmetic dentistry options, like dental veneers, are available.
Extrinsic Dental Stains
Extrinsic stains are superficial and much easier to treat than intrinsic stains. Usually, foods, drinks, tobacco, etc., are responsible for staining the surface of teeth. Even though mild extrinsic stains are removable with regular brushing with whitening toothpaste, more stubborn staining requires professional cleaning and whitening by an expert dental practitioner.
If left for a long time, even extrinsic stains may penetrate deeper and become deep-seated and difficult to remove.
