Professional teeth whitening in Yerevan

Professional whitening can make the enamel several shades lighter. Before the procedure the dentist examines your teeth, and professional hygiene helps the gel work evenly.

Naturally white teeth are rare: more often the enamel has a yellowish or greyish tint. Tooth colour is affected by tea, coffee, juices, red wine and nicotine, and untreated caries can leave dark spots.

Professional whitening usually makes the enamel several shades lighter. A gel based on hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth; depending on the method, its effect is boosted by the light of a special lamp. The procedure usually needs no anaesthesia, and afterwards you follow a “white diet” for a while, avoiding food and drinks with colourings.

Professional hygiene comes before whitening: soft plaque and tartar keep the gel from working evenly. It is worth knowing in advance that fillings, restorations, veneers and crowns do not lighten, and that some discolouration does not respond to whitening — in such cases the dentist will discuss other options with you, such as restoration or veneers.

An iOrtho dentist in Yerevan will tell you after an examination whether whitening suits you and what result to expect. Book a consultation: the dentist will assess the condition and shade of your teeth and propose a plan.

Benefits

  • Several shades lighter

    A professional gel lightens the enamel by several shades in one go.

    Professional cleaning before the procedure removes plaque and tartar so the gel works evenly.

  • Usually no anaesthesia

    As a rule, the procedure needs no numbing.

  • An honest forecast

    The dentist will tell you in advance what shade is realistic and how fillings and restorations will look, since they do not lighten.

  • A short “white diet”

    After the procedure you only need to avoid coloured food and drinks for a while — the dentist will tell you how long.

Indications

  • A yellowish or greyish tint to the enamel
  • Enamel darkened by tea, coffee, juices or red wine

Care rules

  • The “white diet”

    For a while after the procedure avoid coffee, tea, red wine, brightly coloured juices and other foods with colourings — the dentist will tell you exactly how long.

  • Smoking

    Nicotine stains enamel: the less you smoke, the longer the result lasts.

  • Sensitivity

    After whitening, teeth may temporarily react more to hot and cold. If this bothers you, tell your dentist, who will advise how to ease it.

  • Hygiene

    Brush twice a day and have professional hygiene regularly: plaque stains the enamel again.

Questions and answers

Is whitening harmful to teeth?

Professional whitening is done after an examination and under a dentist’s supervision. The procedure has contraindications, so the dentist decides individually whether it suits you. Temporary tooth sensitivity is possible afterwards.

Will fillings, veneers and crowns get lighter?

No, dental materials do not whiten. That is why whitening is usually planned before a restoration, and if there are already fillings or crowns in the smile zone, the dentist will discuss in advance how the result will look.

How much lighter will my teeth get?

Usually the enamel becomes several shades lighter, but the result depends on the starting colour and the cause of the discolouration. Some stains do not respond to whitening; in that case the dentist may suggest restoration or veneers.

Why is cleaning needed before whitening?

Soft plaque and tartar keep the gel from acting evenly, so professional hygiene is the first step in preparing for whitening.

How long does the result last?

It depends on your habits: coffee, tea, red wine and smoking gradually darken the enamel again. The “white diet” after the procedure, home care and professional hygiene help the result last longer.
