Steps for In-office Tooth Bleaching
1: Evaluate Pre Tooth Bleaching Tooth Shade
Both the patient and dentist will want to be able to determine
how effective the whitening treatment has been. In order to
be able to make this comparison the thailand cosmetic dentist will need to document
the pre-treatment shade of the patient's teeth.
The thailand cosmetic dentist will use an array of tooth-shaped porcelain tabs
(each of which is a slightly different color) and compare
each tab with the patient's teeth. The patient is asked to
pick out the tooth color that best matches their teeth and
this value is then recorded.
Professional dental scaling and polishing is usally done
before the bleaching treatment is performed, but it is optional
if the patient's teeth is already cleaned.
2: Isolate Teeth to be Whitened
The peroxide tooth bleaching agents commonly used with professional
tooth bleaching systems are caustic and can irritate or damage
soft oral tissues. Your thailand cosmetic dentist will need to isolate the teeth
that will be bleached. They do this by way of placing a "dental
dam".
3: Place Eye Protection
Because of the caustic nature of the peroxide tooth bleaching compounds
used in professional teeth whitening treatments and the laser or plasma arch light used to activate the tooth bleaching agent, eye protection
is required and worn for protection.
4: Apply Peroxide Tooth Bleaching Gel
The thailand cosmetic dentist will dry off the patient's teeth and then apply
the tooth bleaching compound. Professional teeth whiteners are usually
thick pastes or gels. The thailand cosmetic dentist either dabs or paints them
onto each tooth's surface.
5: Expose Tooth Whitener to Teeth Whitening Light
The tooth bleaching compound is activated using
a light source such as laser light or plasma arch light. This "activation" shortens
the needed treatment time and/or makes the whitener more effective.
6: Leave Tooth Whitener for Prescribed Time
One whitening session may consist of a single or even multiple
applications of the whitener. There is a possibility that
sensitivity may arise during the treatment process. Depending
on your specific experience, your thailand cosmetic dentist may determine that
it is best to cut the treatment time short, terminate the
tooth bleaching process or repeat the tooth bleaching process.
7: Remove Tooth Whitener
The whitening compound is washed and suctioned off the surface
of the teeth. The teeth are thoroughly washed yet again and
then the dental dam and any other isolating materials or devices
are removed.
8: Determine Post Teeth Bleaching Tooth Shade
Just like before the professional tooth bleaching process
was begun, after the tooth bleaching treatment has been completed,
another shade evaluation will be done to see how much whitening
has been achieved.
