Teeth Whitening 

For a truly beautiful and effective smile, healthy and brilliantly white teeth are crucial. However, over time, various factors can cause discoloration in teeth. These include structural disorders, certain antibiotics used during childhood or in the womb, regularly consumed foods and drinks (like coffee, tea, red wine), fluoride levels in drinking water, presence of old prostheses, crowns or fillings, and simply the natural aging process.

At Akl Poliklinik, teeth whitening is a professional procedure designed to safely and effectively lighten the discolored and yellowed enamel layer by several shades. This process is customized for each individual and aims to eliminate stubborn stains, revealing a brighter, more radiant smile.

How is the Teeth Whitening Procedure Performed?

The teeth whitening procedure should always be performed under the direct supervision of a qualified dentist to ensure safety, effectiveness, and optimal results.

In-Office Whitening at Akl Poliklinik:

At our clinic, a protective barrier is first applied to your gums to safeguard them from the whitening gel. Then, a professional-grade whitening gel is carefully applied to the outer surface of your discolored teeth. This gel is often activated by a special light source (such as LED or laser light), which accelerates the whitening reaction. This allows the teeth to whiten very quickly and effectively, often providing immediate visible results.

In a single session performed this way, an average of 3-4 shades of tooth color can be lightened, dramatically enhancing your smile. The entire procedure is comfortable and typically completed within an hour to an hour and a half.

Can Teeth Whitening Be Applied to Everyone? Safety and Suitability

Teeth whitening is generally a highly safe and effective procedure that can be applied to almost everyone looking to enhance their smile.

Safety and Dentist Supervision:

This procedure will not cause any harm if performed in reliable clinics and under the direct supervision of an experienced dentist, who can assess your oral health and ensure proper application.

Considerations and Contraindications:

While widely applicable, certain individuals may have specific considerations:

• The whitening procedure is generally not recommended for individuals whose dental growth and development are still ongoing (e.g., children and adolescents).
• It should be performed with caution and after consulting with a medical doctor for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
• Individuals with severe tooth sensitivity, gum disease, or extensive dental restorations (like crowns, veneers, or fillings) in the front teeth may need alternative treatments or a customized approach, as whitening gels only work on natural tooth enamel.
