Intensive whitening is performed at the dental hygienist's practice with professional whitening agents. The whitening gel is applied to the surface of the teeth, where it effectively lightens stubborn stains and brightens the natural shade of the teeth.
In intensive whitening, the whitening agent is applied several times during the same visit. This allows for a deeper and longer-lasting whitening result than light or home whitening.
Intensive whitening is an ideal solution when teeth are heavily stained. Discoloration can occur, for example, due to coffee, tea, tobacco and nicotine products, or red wine. The shade of the teeth can also darken with age. Intensive whitening is suitable when:
Intensive whitening is not effective on dentures, crowns, filling materials, or bridge structures. Whitening is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Whitening treatments are not performed on individuals under 18 years of age, as tooth development is still ongoing in young people.
Before intensive whitening, tartar removal is recommended, as a clean tooth surface whitens more evenly and effectively. Any oral health problems, such as gingivitis or cavities, should also be treated before starting whitening. If necessary, the dental hygienist will refer you to a dentist for an examination before whitening.
Before applying the whitening gel, the gums and mucous membranes are carefully protected, if the chosen whitening agent requires it.
The dental hygienist applies the whitening gel to the surface of the teeth several times during the same visit to achieve a more effective result.
Depending on the method, whitening can be enhanced with light or laser to achieve a more visible result.
The entire visit typically lasts about 60–90 minutes. Intensive whitening usually lightens teeth by several shades. It is important to remember that the final result is always individual and depends on the initial condition of the teeth and their natural color.
Immediately after intensive whitening, it is important to avoid smoking and snus. In addition, strongly staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, blueberries, and red wine, should be avoided for a few days. During this time, teeth are more susceptible to staining than usual.
The results are best maintained with careful oral hygiene. Light whitening or home whitening can later be used as maintenance treatment when the result of intensive whitening is to be maintained. Slight sensitivity or throbbing may occur in the teeth after the visit. This is normal and temporary. If the sensitivity is severe or long-lasting, contact Hammas Mehiläinen.
After whitening, a quick protective treatment can be performed on the teeth, in which case you only need to avoid staining foods for the first two hours. Without quick protective treatment, staining foods must be avoided for 48 hours.
Avoid staining chemical oral hygiene products or mouthwashes, such as chlorhexidine or Listerine. Temporary shade differences or light spots may appear on the teeth, for example, as a result of fluorosis. Shade differences usually even out within about two weeks of whitening.
Different whitening methods are suitable for different needs depending on the initial condition of the teeth, the desired result, and how quickly you want to see a change. A dental hygienist will help you choose the right whitening method for your teeth.
