What is teeth whitening and how can it enhance your smile?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that lightens the color of teeth by removing stains and discoloration caused by food, beverages, tobacco, or aging. It is a quick, non-invasive, and highly effective procedure to rejuvenate your smile.

From a technical perspective, whitening works by penetrating the tooth on a microscopic level. This process allows stain molecules attached to the enamel to break apart, revealing each person’s natural white shade. It’s important to note that this is the maximum shade achievable with the treatment.

For patients who have had naturally yellow-toned teeth since childhood and do not consume staining foods or drinks, the effectiveness of whitening may be limited or even negligible. In these cases, factors like genetics and enamel composition determine the tooth color, meaning the treatment may not meet initial expectations.

With over 15 years of experience, we have proven that this procedure is a fast and safe solution to restore confidence in your smile. However, every case is unique, and we evaluate each patient individually to ensure realistic and satisfying results.

Before and After Teeth Whitening in Medellín

The results of teeth whitening can be remarkable, achieving a brighter and more uniform smile. However, it’s important to understand that the final shade varies depending on factors such as age, enamel type, and genetics.

If whitening does not achieve the desired level of brightness, we recommend alternatives like smile design with veneers—an excellent solution for achieving a perfect color and shape.

Note: In the patient shown in the photo, we performed teeth whitening, gum contouring, and smile design.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

At-home teeth whitening is a safe and effective option when guided by professionals. It’s important to note that DIY methods, such as using baking soda, lemon, or unsupervised peroxide, can cause irreversible damage to tooth enamel without delivering the desired results.

At Clínica Viena, we personalize this treatment for each patient. First, we create custom-made trays that fit perfectly over your teeth, ensuring even distribution of the whitening gel.

Next, we provide specialized gels that you apply at home for 1 to 3 hours per day, depending on professional recommendations. This treatment lasts approximately 20 days, gradually and safely brightening your smile.

With our professional supervision, you can achieve a whiter, healthier smile without unnecessary risks to your teeth.

Teeth Whitening with 16% Carbamide Peroxide

16% carbamide peroxide is the most commonly used concentration at Clínica Viena due to its proven effectiveness and low risk of causing tooth sensitivity. Scientific studies have shown that using higher concentrations does not necessarily improve results but can increase long-term sensitivity, compromising patient comfort.

This treatment allows for gradual whitening, making it ideal for achieving effective and safe results without damaging enamel health.

Teeth Whitening with 22% Carbamide Peroxide

This concentration is not our first recommendation, but it can be useful in specific cases. We typically suggest it for older patients, whose dental nerves tend to be smaller, reducing the likelihood of sensitivity.

It is also used in cases where lower concentrations have failed to achieve the desired whitening effect. However, due to its higher potency, strict supervision is required to prevent discomfort or adverse effects.

In-Office Teeth Whitening: Immediate Results

In-office teeth whitening is perfect for those seeking quick and effective results. This treatment is especially recommended for patients with exposed tooth necks or enamel wear, as at Clínica Viena, we apply a protective seal beforehand to drastically reduce sensitivity during and after the procedure.

While many clinics use techniques such as LED whitening, Zoom, or laser teeth whitening, recent scientific studies have shown that blue light activation is not necessary to achieve great results. In fact, these methods can cause excessive heat inside the tooth, leading to intense and prolonged sensitivity.

At Clínica Viena, we use high-quality whitening gels designed to deliver optimal results without the need for blue light activation, ensuring a safer, more comfortable, and highly effective procedure for our patients.

Post-Teeth Whitening Care Instructions

Properly caring for your teeth after whitening is essential to prolong results and avoid discomfort. Here are our key recommendations:

Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks

Anything that can stain a white shirt—such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark juices, and sauces with colorants—can also stain your teeth. This is especially important during the first 15 days after treatment when teeth are more susceptible.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures

Do not consume very hot or very cold foods and drinks to minimize tooth sensitivity.

Apply the Whitening Gel Properly

Using more gel than necessary will not improve results and may cause gum irritation or burns if overapplied.

Limit At-Home Whitening Time

Do not leave the gel on for more than 3 hours. While the whitening agent evaporates within this time, sensitivity-inducing components like urea will continue to act.

Avoid Smoking During Treatment

Tobacco not only stains teeth but can interfere with whitening results.

Maintain Good Habits

The less you expose your teeth to staining foods and drinks, the longer your whitening results will last. If you return to previous habits, teeth will gradually darken again.

For patients who find it difficult to avoid dark foods and drinks, we recommend considering veneers. Unlike natural teeth, veneers do not stain, retain their shine and color, and provide a long-term solution for a flawless smile.

By following these care tips, you can enjoy a whiter, brighter smile for much longer with minimal discomfort!

Teeth Whitening PQRS in Medellín

Can I Get Teeth Whitening While Pregnant?

Teeth whitening is not recommended during pregnancy, as whitening gels contain chemical agents that, while generally safe, lack sufficient evidence regarding their impact on pregnant women or the fetus.

It is best to wait until after childbirth to undergo this procedure and prioritize routine and preventive dental treatments in the meantime.

Home Remedies for Tooth Sensitivity After Whitening

To relieve tooth sensitivity after whitening, you can use special toothpaste for sensitive teeth containing potassium nitrate or fluoride.

Additionally, avoid very hot or cold foods and rinse with warm salt water to soothe discomfort. If sensitivity persists, consult your dentist to evaluate the use of fluoride varnishes or other professional treatments.

How Long Should Teeth Whitening Be Left On?

The recommended time to leave the whitening gel on your teeth varies based on your dentist’s instructions but typically ranges from 1 to 3 hours.

It’s important not to exceed this time, as the whitening agent loses effectiveness after this period, while the components that cause sensitivity may continue to act.

Can You Drink Beer After Teeth Whitening?

It is not recommended to consume beer immediately after teeth whitening. During the first 48 hours, teeth are more susceptible to staining due to the temporary porosity of the enamel.

Dark beers, in particular, can affect the results. It’s best to opt for clear, colorless beverages during this period.

How to Instantly Remove Stains from Teeth?

The fastest way to remove stains is with an in-office teeth whitening treatment, which lightens several shades in a single session. A professional cleaning also helps remove surface stains and restore natural shine.

You can complement this with whitening toothpaste, but avoid home remedies like baking soda or lemon, as they can damage enamel. Always consult your dentist for safe and effective solutions.

How to Restore Tooth Enamel?

Lost enamel cannot regenerate, but you can strengthen it with fluoride-containing products such as specialized toothpaste and mouthwash.

Maintaining a calcium-rich diet and avoiding acidic foods that erode enamel is also essential. If the damage is severe, consult your dentist to explore options like veneers or sealants to protect your teeth.
