Teeth Whitening
Staining of teeth happen by the foods and drinks we consume.
Habits like smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the color of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. At Gangal Dental Clinic in Thane, we use various methods of teeth Whitening to suit the needs of the patient and also the dental problem faced.
Teeth whitening can be
• At Home (Tray Whitening)
• In Office (Barrier Whitening)
• Internal Whitening (For Discolored Teeth)
Home Tray Whitening
A whitening gel is placed in a custom-made tray which you can wear whilst asleep or for short periods during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks.
This method for whitening teeth uses a ‘tray’. First of all, impressions are taken of the teeth, out of which a study model is made. This is painted with a special material which increases the thickness of the tooth area.
When the tray is prepared, a small pocket is produced. The whitening solution occupies this pocket ensuring that it only comes into contact with the required surfaces and that no damage is done to the soft gums.
In Office Whitening
Immediate lightning of teeth can be done using this technique which is conducted in our Dental Practice. Our In Office 1-hour power whitening can whiten teeth by up to several shades, brightening your teeth dramatically to its natural shade. Your lips and gums are covered and a gel is applied to your teeth. A special light is positioned over your teeth to activate the gel, which gently penetrates your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. Whiter, brighter teeth in less than an hour!
Internal Whitening
There are many reasons for discoloration. Sometimes this is due to a filling showing through the tooth surface.
First of all the old amalgam filling is removed. The old root treatment is then sealed and the whitening material inserted. A temporary filling is placed and the whitening is given time to occur. The whitening material is then removed and the filling made permanent.

The two side effects that occur most often are a temporary increase in tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth, particularly the gums. Tooth sensitivity often occurs during early stages of the bleaching treatment. Tissue irritation most commonly results from an ill-fitting mouthpiece tray rather than the tooth-bleaching agent. Both of these conditions usually are temporary and disappear within 1 to 3 days of stopping or completing treatment.
