TEETH WHITENING
A brighter smile. While still looking like you.
Personalized treatments to lighten the shade of your teeth, respecting the characteristics of your smile and aiming for a natural, uniform and balanced result.
Why do teeth lose their luster?
Tooth color doesn't depend solely on hygiene.
Over time, the shade of a smile can change due to various factors. Some pigments accumulate on the surface, while other color changes occur within the tooth itself.
Therefore, identifying the source of the discoloration is essential to determine if bleaching is indicated and to choose the most appropriate approach.
01. CAFÉ, CHÁ E OUTROS PIGMENTOS
O consumo frequente de bebidas e alimentos pigmentados pode contribuir para uma alteração gradual da tonalidade dos dentes.
02. TOBACCO
Pigments associated with tobacco can cause colour changes and contribute to progressive darkening of the teeth.
03 . NATURAL AGEING
Over the years, changes in enamel and dentine can naturally make the teeth appear more yellow.
04. INTERNAL CHANGES IN THE TOOTH
Trauma, certain medications, and changes in tooth structure can alter the color of one or more teeth and require a specific approach.
How does teeth whitening work ?
To lighten the shade of teeth without removing tooth structure.
Bleaching agents penetrate the enamel and dentin and act on the molecules responsible for pigmentation.
PENETRATION OF THE WHITENING AGENT
The whitening agent diffuses through the tooth structure until it reaches the molecules responsible for discolouration.
ACTION ON PIGMENTS
During the oxidation process, pigmented molecules are broken down into smaller, less complex structures.
Reduced color perception
As these pigments become less visible, the tooth's shade gradually begins to lighten.
PRESERVED TOOTH STRUCTURE
Whitening acts on the color without wearing down or removing enamel to produce the whitening effect.
A PROTOCOL FOR EVERY SMILE
The technique, concentration, and duration of treatment are determined according to the initial skin tone, type of pigmentation, and the goals of each patient.
