Limit coloring in the first days

There may be temporary sensitivity
Short-term hot-cold sensitivity may occur after whitening. The level of sensitivity varies from person to person. Using recommended sensitivity products and avoiding excessive heat or cold consumption may provide relief. In case of severe or ongoing complaints, the clinic should be consulted.
The color of fillings and coatings does not change
Whitening affects natural tooth tissue; The color of composite fillings, veneers and other restorations remains the same. Especially if there is a restoration in the front area, color compatibility is evaluated before the procedure and, if necessary, a plan is made for after whitening.
Permanence of results is personal
Eating habits, tobacco use, oral care and the cause of the initial discoloration affect the result. The same repetition range is not recommended for every person; The decision is made by evaluating the current tone and dental health during the check-up.
If your symptoms persist or there is a condition such as pain, swelling or trauma, consult a dentist without delay. The appropriate approach for you is determined after a clinical examination.
