Tooth bleaching solutions, which are applied to have glamorous white teeth, are among the aesthetic dental treatments applied by dentists. Antalya teeth bleaching treatment is the process of removing the colored substances formed in the porous enamel structure on the tooth surface with the whitening gels to be applied in our clinic and giving a white appearance.

Why Do Teeth Lose Their Whiteness?

Teeth experience discoloration and lose their white appearance due to various factors. The loss of whiteness of the teeth is caused by many factors such as structural disorders during the formation of teeth in childhood, antibiotics used in infancy, high fluorine content in the water consumed, and foods and beverages that cause color change such as cigarettes, tea and coffee. The color change in the teeth is examined under two headings as internal coloration and external coloration:

→ Stains that penetrate the tooth and cannot be removed by brushing are called internal discoloration. Teeth bleaching gives successful results in most of the internal discolorations.

→ The color change experienced on the tooth surface as a result of consuming foods with coloring properties such as cigarettes, tea, coffee and cola is called external discoloration. The external discoloration problem is solved by teeth bleaching.

In addition to the measures taken in the home environment against this problem, which brings many problems, especially lack of self-confidence, taking professional solutions is the most correct decision in order to achieve permanent and successful results.
