Teeth whitening procedure, reviews of which are both positive and negative, is becoming increasingly popular. The main clients of dental clinics who decide to whiten their teeth are young we althy people. As it turned out, this procedure is not cheap. Now teeth whitening (prices in Moscow) will cost an average of 10 thousand rubles, but there are clinics where this service is much more expensive.
Let's consider what determines the cost and quality of the service. And most importantly, how the teeth whitening procedure affects the enamel. Reviews on the global network about this can be divided into two groups: "for" and "against". Positive opinions boil down to the fact that teeth really become whiter. At the same time, a “Hollywood” smile becomes a real pride, a person feels more confident, internal complexes disappear. This effect lasts for a long time. Teeth stay white for a year or more.
Reviews of a negative nature are based on the fact thatproblems with dental he alth. Enamel becomes more sensitive, reacts to cold and hot. In addition, microscopic cracks, which were before bleaching, begin to increase rapidly. That is why, before agreeing to teeth whitening, reviews and other people's opinions must be carefully weighed.
To have an idea of how the whitening process works in the clinic, consider the existing methods:
- Zoom.
- Laser.
- Gel mouthguard.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. The cheapest way is with a mouthguard. The dentist evaluates the condition of the oral cavity, takes casts of the jaw and issues a special mouthguard and whitening gel. Already at home, you can apply gel on your teeth and put on a mouthguard, this is usually done at night. Such home teeth whitening can be done several times a year, but always with interruptions. At this time, you need to take care of your teeth with strengthening pastes.
Laser is the most expensive, but effective and safe way, which does not damage the enamel. A cleaning composition is applied to the surface of the tooth and activated with a laser. Reviews about this method of teeth whitening are the most favorable. The fact is that some compositions can improve the condition of the teeth, “fill in” microcracks and strengthen the surface. The disadvantages include the high cost of the procedure, which is several times higher than simpler whitening methods.
Zoom-whitening is cheaper than laser, but the essence is about the same. A gel (Zoom) containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth, then it is activated under the lamp, after the procedure the enamel is strengthened with fluoride. In modern clinics, many specialists have switched to Zoom-2 and Zoom-3 gels, which contain additives that help keep teeth he althy.
Of all the above methods, only a doctor will help you choose the right one, depending on the condition of your teeth. It is believed that laser and Zoom whitening can lighten the enamel by several tones at once. Those who do not need such powerful whitening should whiten their teeth with special pastes or soda. In addition, there are many restrictions and contraindications for in-office whitening.
