How to whiten your teeth naturally
For a smile to be “harmonious”, it’s not just about having healthy, pink-coloured gums and perfectly aligned teeth, it’s also about their colour, that is, a natural, bright white. However, coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco as well as other foodstuffs can leave unattractive deposits on your teeth over time that cannot be removed even when you give your teeth a good clean. Furthermore, the natural colour of your teeth may be several shades darker than what one might call white teeth. Here at the Zahnboutique, we have the remedy and can help you find your way (back) to your most beautiful smile: your teeth can be significantly whitened with professional bleaching in our practice in Zurich. In our preliminary discussion, we will talk to you about your personal requirements and the results that you can expect in your individual case. But before you have your teeth whitened, we also recommend that you consider having them professionally cleaned beforehand. We offer this as one of our dental hygiene services, during which our specially training practice members will remove even stubborn deposits from your teeth. Professional tooth cleaning can often remove initial surface discolouration which is why teeth often look cleaner and more radiant as a result. It is a good preparation for removing subsequent discolouration inside the teeth with our gentle bleaching process. In addition, any caries or periodontitis that exist must be treated beforehand.
For the bleaching process itself, we offer you various options in our practice in Zurich. Patients can choose between in-office bleaching and home bleaching, for instance. In-office bleaching is carried out on site by our experienced and trained dental hygienists in our dental practice on Kreuzplatz. It can lighten your teeth by several shades, depending on your desired effect, in the shortest space of time. As already mentioned, the result depends on the individual degree of discolouration. The substances used are especially gentle on your teeth and do not attack the dental structure. Your gums are also specially protected. You will be supported by our team throughout the entire treatment.
An especially convenient way of bleaching your teeth is home bleaching, which we can also offer as a service in our practice in Zurich. Firstly, a customised dental splint is made for the treatment. We will show you exactly how to use this so you can subsequently fill it with a bleaching agent at home and wear it overnight. Depending on the degree of discolouration, you wear it over several nights and come for check-ups during and at the end of the treatment in our practice.
The team in our Zahnboutique in Zurich advise against bleaching your teeth yourself by using household remedies or over-the-counter bleaching products. Completely aside from the fact that the desired effects often cannot be achieved with these products – many results appear almost blotchy – you will also miss out on dental check-ups that are so important for healthy gums and teeth. Without prior check-ups and if the treatment is not applied correctly, you could inflict some serious damage on your teeth and gums.
The method you choose depends on the tooth discolouration and the results you desire. In the Zahnboutique we also whiten individual, devitalised teeth.
In some cases, a prior root treatment or a dental trauma such as an accident may cause the colour of individual teeth to change and become darker. Such discolouration can also be reduced by bleaching, although this involves more effort than with healthy teeth since in these cases, the inside of the tooth has to be bleached.
How long do the results last for?
You can help to retain the results of the bleaching and therefore your most beautiful smile for as long as possible. Particularly during the days after they have been bleached, the surface of your teeth will be more sensitive than usual and are correspondingly vulnerable. This is why it’s essential that you avoid discolouring drinks and foodstuffs such as coffee, red wine, tea, ketchup and mustard as well as smoking. Under optimal conditions, the bleaching results will last for significantly longer than a year. Professional dental cleaning in our practice in Zurich can also help your teeth to stay naturally white for longer.
