Professional Teeth Whitening in Jerusalem
We were all born with white teeth, and most of us would like to keep them that way for as long as possible. However, over the years, teeth naturally change color due to a variety of causes. These include food coloring, soda, coffee, alcohol, smoking, and other substances, as well as germs and dental conditions that can lead to yellowing or even brown spots. Fortunately, teeth whitening treatment in Jerusalem can help restore a brighter, more youthful smile.
How Do You Whiten Teeth?
The more accurate term for this process is actually teeth brightening, not whitening, as the results vary based on each patient’s response to the whitening materials. While we cannot guarantee snow-white teeth for everyone, in most cases, patients will see significant brightening of their teeth.
Before starting a teeth whitening treatment, we recommend a comprehensive dental cleaning that includes tartar removal and the removal of any debris that may impact tooth color. This is especially crucial for patients planning to get dental crowns, as the whitening process only affects natural teeth. Matching the color of artificial teeth, like crowns, to the whitened natural teeth ensures the best aesthetic outcome.
At Dr. Stela Heisler’s clinic, teeth whitening involves several stages. First, we measure the patient’s jaws and prepare customized molds. Each patient also receives a home teeth-whitening kit, including whitening formula syringes, with clear instructions on how to use them. Patients continue the treatment at home for two hours daily over a two-week period.
What To Do After Teeth Whitening?
After your Jerusalem teeth whitening treatment, your teeth may become more sensitive to stains. To preserve your results, we recommend avoiding foods and drinks with strong coloring agents, such as coffee, tea, and sodas. It’s best to stick to water as much as possible—not just after whitening, but as a healthy habit in general. Smoking should also be avoided after treatment (and ideally, altogether).
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening Over At-Home Kits?
While at-home teeth whitening kits or whitening toothpaste are widely available, they contain lower concentrations of active ingredients and provide limited results. These options are great for maintaining results but are not sufficient for achieving an initial brightening effect.
Professional whitening at the clinic offers personalized molds, higher-quality materials, and expert supervision. Combined with proper at-home care following your dentist’s instructions, professional treatment delivers better results in a shorter time.
Teeth Whitening: Side Effects
During and after the whitening process, teeth may temporarily become sensitive to hot or cold, particularly to cold. If the whitening material comes into contact with the gums, you might experience a mild burning sensation. In rare cases, slight changes in taste can occur. These side effects are typically mild and resolve quickly.
