What is teeth whitening and who is recommended

Dentist Tania Hatzipanagiotidou explains what tooth whitening is and where it is recommended. She also answers the question whether teeth whitening wears out the teeth.

What is teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a highly conservative method of improving the smile. We whiten our teeth with the help of gel. This is used either in the dental office and is lightened with the lazer in a session usually of half an hour. Or it is placed on chewable gums that we provide to the patient here in the dental office. We take impressions and we create these chewables. Which the patient uses them at night in their sleep usually for ten days. There is also a combination of these two techniques for better results. Here you can learn more for teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening does not wear down the teeth

The method, as I said before, is extremely conservative. That is, it does not damage the teeth at all. This has been proven experimentally with tooth shells. With tooth slices under a microscope, before and after bleaching. Where it can be seen that the tooth has suffered no damage whatsoever. So we can safely say that whitening is a conservative method. It is addressed to very many people. It immediately improves our smile and our psychology, and it is extremely economical.

Cosmetic dentistry

Teeth whitening is a technique included in cosmetic dentistry. Other techniques that fall under cosmetic dentistry are digital smile design, porcelain veneers, tooth bonding as well as sockets. All these techniques are applied by Mrs. Hatzipanagiotidou in her dental office in Glyfada.
