“Whiter smile: a beauty reflection”

Smile is one of the most basic features of the face, which communicates good mood, predisposes others positively and enhances social interactions. Since smile is a characteristic that remains indelible in the memory of people around us, it functions as a permanent accessory, which must be kept in the best possible condition.

A white smile can be affected by a variety of factors and achieving it is a quite complex process. Apart from observing an oral hygiene routine that everyone must follow, the shade of the teeth also depends on external, often uncontrollable factors. These are related to heredity, diet, such as smoking, but also many impeding diseases and their medications. In this way the appearance of the teeth is altered and the smile does not remain bright. The most common interventions for a whiter smile are teeth whitening and composite veneers. A specialised dentist can only perform these treatments in his office.

Teeth whitening treatment is usually done in the dental office with the application of laser – LED lighting and can work in combination with the use of special whitening mouth guards for additional treatment at patient’s home. Teeth whitening treatment in the dental office is a very quick procedure that lasts from 20 to 30 minutes, is painless and can be applied safely under the supervision of the doctor. Teeth whitening treatment can be done with the help of a special gel, which is applied exclusively to the teeth and activated through ultraviolet radiation, neutralising the pigments that are present on teeth’s surface. In order to maintain the whitening results, the dentist can design special mouth guards for the patient, with the aim to apply the treatment at home a few days later, following the instructions given.

On the other hand, teeth whitening with composite veneers, is an intervention that is applied in cases where the simple teeth whitening treatment becomes unfeasible. The placement of composite veneers is painless. It does not require tooth grinding, is characterised by reversibility and is able to correct any tooth imperfections, such as intervening gaps and unevenness. The time required for the process is approximately 2 hours, an amount of time that includes the placement on both jaws. The smile that results from composite veneers is natural and long – lasting.
