Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure performed at LA RIMAR CLINIC or at home, aimed at lightening tooth color and removing stains caused by food, smoking, and aging. The process involves the use of whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrate the enamel and break down stain-causing molecules.
In-Office Whitening: Fast, effective, professional results. (1-2 hours)
At-Home Kits: Custom trays and gel for home use. Slower results, more affordable.
Whitening Strips: Easy to use, affordable, takes 1-2 weeks for results.
Whitening Toothpaste: Removes surface stains over time. Affordable but slow.
Over-the-Counter Kits: Affordable, takes weeks for noticeable results.
Natural Methods: Low-cost but minimal effectiveness and potential enamel damage.
Yes, when performed by professionals at LA RIMAR CLINIC, it is a safe procedure. However, some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, which can be managed using sensitive toothpaste.
Results depend on lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. They typically last six months to three years if staining foods and drinks are avoided.
Whitening is not recommended for individuals with gum disease, cavities, or pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Excessive use of whitening agents can weaken tooth enamel and increase sensitivity. Therefore, it is crucial to consult dentists at LA RIMAR CLINIC before undergoing frequent whitening treatments.
