Teeth whitening by photoactivation (both arches) in Torrejón de Ardoz

Teeth whitening by photoactivation, also known as cold light or laser whitening, is one of the procedures used to restore the correct colour to tooth enamel. It is considered one of the most modern, fast and effective treatments, standing out for its guaranteed results from the first session.

In order to carry out the procedure, it is necessary, first of all, a general check-up of your oral health, ensuring that the treatment is viable and is carried out on healthy teeth, that is, without caries, periodontal conditions or any other type of problem that must be solved before whitening.

In addition, a professional oral cleaning must also be carried out to obtain the best results from the very first moment.

Specifically, the teeth whitening treatment, after confirming its viability and performing the cleaning, consists of applying a whitening gel composed of hydrogen peroxide (at 37.5% - 40%) to the surface of the teeth, which is activated with a cold light lamp or laser.

After several repetitions of photoactivation, the treatment is completed in the clinic. 

This technique is carried out in dental clinics where you will find professionals specialised in dental aesthetic treatments.

Bear in mind that resorting to home remedies or "miracle products", in addition to not ensuring their effectiveness, can have adverse effects on your oral health.

As we aforementioned, in order to undergo teeth whitening you need to meet certain requirements that ensure the viability of the treatment and allow us to know that your oral health is ideal.

Therefore, to be a candidate for the aesthetic treatment you must have a healthy mouth, be of legal age (over 18 years old) and, obviously, have all your permanent teeth.

On the other hand, thanks to dental whitening with photoactivation you can solve problems such as the appearance of white stains, discolouration due to excessive consumption of food or drinks with a high concentration of elements that stain the enamel, darkening due to smoking and even solve the discolouration of teeth due to having suffered a blow or trauma.

On the other hand, the whitening process with photoactivation is totally contraindicated if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The same exception applies if you are allergic to peroxide.

Teeth whitening treatment is the ideal option for patients who are demanding about the aesthetic appearance of their smile. It is a very simple, fast and effective tooth whitening procedure that ensures that the correct shade of healthy teeth is restored.

In the following section, we explain the steps to follow to request your assessment consultation at the Clínica Dental Caser Torrejón de Ardoz. You can see that it is an easy and practically immediate process, you have nothing to worry about, we take care of everything.

Make an appointment

After making an appointment, we will contact you to confirm the time and date that best suits you. We are also at your disposal to answer any questions you may have about the process and its management.

Once everything has been confirmed, you will attend your appointment with the Specialist in Dental Aesthetics at the Clínica Dental Caser Torrejón de Ardoz on the scheduled day.

On the day of the appointment and after being assessed by the General Odontologist, you will meet with the specialist in Dental Aesthetics. During the consultation, the expert will carry out the necessary diagnostic tests to establish the state of your mouth and teeth, identify if there is any condition and rule out complications that could limit the whitening treatment.

In addition, he or she will explain in detail what the process of whitening your teeth consists of and the possible results that you will be able to obtain after completing the whole process.

After checking that your teeth are in a suitable state for whitening, if you are convinced to go ahead with the treatment, you can usually arrange the start date of the treatment during the same appointment. However, our patient service team will contact you to find out about your decision and to find out how everything went at the consultation.

In order for the Specialist to determine that the photoactivation whitening treatment is viable and to be able to go ahead with your case, the following tests must be taken into account during the diagnosis:

• Review of the clinical history: the Specialist will review all the clinical history that may be relevant to the treatment and that may have produced the colour changes in your teeth (taking antibiotics, illnesses, consumption of narcotics, excessive consumption of fluoride,...).
• Dental examination: this is an examination of the patient's oral health to avoid jeopardising the success of the treatment. The specialist will check that your teeth do not have cavities, low gum levels, uncovered roots, inflammation of the gums, excessive sensitivity to cold or heat, as well as severe loss of enamel, as all these conditions would not allow you to undergo whitening.

Moreover, in order to correctly perform the photoactivation whitening treatment, it is necessary to take several steps beforehand to prepare your teeth and ensure that the treatment achieves the best results: 

• Determine the ideal colour for your teeth: first of all, the specialist will determine the shade of your teeth, as we all have a different colour due to congenital causes. He or she will make a comparison between all the existing tooth colours and will show you up to what shade it is possible to lighten your teeth, showing you the results that you will be able to obtain. Keep in mind that excessively white teeth are not aesthetically pleasing, especially because the natural colours of our teeth can vary between grey, orange and yellow tones.
• Eliminate materials present on the teeth: it is essential to eliminate caries, resins or unsuitable amalgams (old filings or fillings in poor condition), thus preventing these materials that are harmful to the health of the teeth from entering the tooth and causing the death of the pulp (vital part of the tooth), which would cause irreversible damage to your oral health.
• Complete cleaning: before applying the whitening product, it is necessary to carry out a complete and professional cleaning of the teeth. This will remove all the stains present on the surface, bacterial plaque and tartar.

Once all the tests have been completed, your teeth have been given the go-ahead to start the whitening treatment and your teeth have been prepared, the specialist will begin the teeth whitening process. 

On the day of the teeth whitening treatment and already seated in the dental cabinet, the specialist will proceed to carry out the oral check-up and after confirming the viability, the dental cleaning (prophylaxis) will begin.

Afterwards, the whitening process will begin, ensuring that plaque, tartar, etc. have been removed:

• During the session at the clinic, first of all, you will be fitted with lip retainers that will allow the specialist to access all the teeth.
• Next, the mucosal tissues of the mouth (gums) are polymerised to isolate them so that they are not damaged or altered during whitening.
• The specialist will then apply the hydrogen peroxide activator gel (37.5% - 40%) and turn on the cold light to photo activate the gel, releasing the oxygen on the teeth and thus the whitening properties.
• After 30 - 45 minutes, the light is removed and the remaining whitening gel is wiped off the teeth, ending the whitening session.

However, in order to preserve the results achieved during the whitening treatment after it has been completed, it is extremely important that you do not neglect to follow the instructions given to you by the specialist. This will guarantee the duration and effectiveness of the whitening treatment.

Keep in mind that achieving the best results, and maintaining them over the long term, can be achieved by following some of the most obvious tips that dental professionals often give. If you are interested in refreshing your memory and achieving the best, effective and long-lasting whitening results, don't skip any of the following guidelines:

• Hygiene: oral hygiene is extremely important for everyone, whether or not you have had your teeth whitened, so you should give it the importance it deserves, avoiding the appearance of bacterial plaque and cavities that can lead to more complex and dangerous problems for your health. This means that you should brush your teeth after every meal, preferably with an electric toothbrush, and floss at least once a day. As for the complementary use of rinses, it is recommended to use them only if your hygienist deems it necessary and convenient, but the rinse must be with fluoride and without alcohol.
• Food: as we warned you at the beginning of this page, there are several foods and drinks that contain high concentrations of dyes that can cause stains on the enamel of our teeth. However, it is not necessary to stop consuming them, simply moderate your intake and be more cautious about the number of brushes per day when consuming foods and drinks such as wine, tea, coffee, red fruits, curry, soya, paprika or citrus fruits.
• Tobacco: Smoking is totally incompatible with maintaining good oral health and an optimal quality of life in general. Smoking causes stains on your teeth, as well as enamel corrosion and periodontal disease. That is why the best and most convenient thing to do is to eliminate this habit completely from your life.
• Maintenance: after the whitening treatment at the clinic and the complementary treatment at home, it is recommended to have check-ups every 6 months or annually, as the changes or modifications in the colour and brightness of the teeth may vary in each patient. During these check-ups, the professional can help you to maintain the best appearance and oral health, recommending treatments such as a professional dental cleaning that will help to achieve and preserve long-lasting, quality results.

• You get results from the first treatment session, spectacular changes, reaching up to 3 tones from the first session.
• It is a very quick, simple and painless technique. You will barely be in the clinic for an hour.

• Whitening is carried out uniformly and simultaneously on all teeth. Normally from the second premolar to the second premolar of the upper jaw and from the second premolar to the second premolar of the mandible.

In regards to the risks and disadvantages that whitening may present, we would highlight that it is a treatment that is not recommended in the case of unresolved oral conditions, as well as in the case of pregnant women, minors, and patients with severe dental trauma.
