What is tooth whitening used for?

Tooth whitening in Hungary can be a very effective, yet simple, way of lightening the colour of teeth without removing the surface of the tooth. It does not change the colour of the teeth, but it lightens the existing colour.

What does the tooth whitening procedure in Hungary involve?

The Hungarian dentist applies a chemical barrier to the gums, which will protect them during the whitening process. The whitening solution is then applied to the teeth and the chemical is then activated by heat, or heat and light combined. Once the whitening process is complete, the barrier is easily removed in one piece. If the tooth has been treated at the root, the canal, which previously contained the nerve, can be reopened and the whitening product put in.

How long does the procedure take?

The tooth whitening procedure in Hungary normally takes over an hour, but your dentist will advise you on your specific needs.

Will I be satisfied with the results?

The results of tooth whitening in Hungary can vary depending on the original shade of the teeth. Teeth will tend to darken slightly over time. The effect lasts approximately 1 to 3 years, although it can sometimes last longer.

When might bleaching not work?

Hongriene tooth whitening can only lighten the colour of your existing teeth. Another option is to change the shade of the tooth to a specific shade. Bleaching also works on natural teeth. It is not effective on “false” teeth of any kind. This includes dentures, crowns and veneers. If dentures are stained or discoloured, it may be worth visiting the dentist in Budapest and asking him or her to clean them. Stained veneers, crowns and dentures may need to be replaced. Here again, ask your dentist.

How do I look after my teeth after tooth whitening in Hungary?

Discuss with your dentist how to maintain the colour of your teeth and what products are available to maintain this effect. Each person’s lifestyle must be assessed, but good oral hygiene and regular visits to the hygienist will help maintain the effect for longer. Some people find that their teeth are sensitive for the first few days after treatment, but this sensitivity disappears shortly afterwards. Your dentist will advise you on the products you can use to counteract this sensitivity.

What does the procedure involve?

In the case of a living tooth, the dentist in Budapest applies the whitening product using a specially designed tray that is inserted into the mouth like a gum shield. The chemical is then activated by heat, or by a combination of heat and light. The active ingredient in the product is normally hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. If the tooth has been treated at the root, the canal, which previously contained the nerve, can be reopened and the whitening product put in. In both cases, the procedure must be repeated until the correct shade is achieved.

How long does the procedure take?

First of all, you will need to visit your dentist two or three times. Your dentist will need to make a mouthguard and will need to take impressions for this at the first appointment. Once your dentist has started the treatment, you will need to continue it at home. This means applying the bleach regularly for 2 to 4 weeks, for 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time. However, some newer products can be applied for up to 8 hours at a time, which means that a satisfactory result can be achieved in as little as a week.

Why do my teeth need whitening?

Everyone is different, and just as the colour of our hair and skin varies, so do the colours of our teeth. Some teeth have a yellowish tinge, others are more beige, and very few are actually ‘white’. Teeth also yellow with age and can be stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee and blackcurrants. Tartar can also affect the colour of teeth. Some people may have stains on the inside of their teeth. This may be due to certain antibiotics or to tiny cracks in the teeth, which absorb the stain.

Treatment results can vary depending on the original shade of the teeth. Teeth will tend to darken slightly over time. The effect lasts approximately 1 to 3 years, although it can sometimes last longer. Some people find that their teeth are sensitive for the first few days after treatment, but this subsides after a short time.

What about home kits?

Over-the-counter kits are not recommended as they contain only a small amount of hydrogen peroxide, which makes the product less effective. Some also contain mild acids, while others are abrasive. Although these products are cheaper, whitening is a complicated treatment procedure and should only be carried out by a dentist after a thorough examination and assessment of your teeth. It is very important to follow the instructions given by your dentist and to ensure that you attend the recommended follow-up appointments.

What about whitening toothpaste?

There are now several whitening toothpastes available to buy. Although they do not affect the natural colour of the tooth, they are effective in removing stains and therefore improving the overall appearance of the tooth. Whitening toothpaste can also help to maintain the appearance of teeth once they have been professionally whitened.
