Nowadays we can use diverse techniques, treatments and materials, to guarantee our patients a pleasing appearance, and one of these procedures is dental whitening.
As in all treatments, in this one a precise evaluation of the patient must be undertaken to determine the pigmentation of their teeth. Genetically every person has the colour of their teeth determined. In some patients it is darker than in others, tending to be grey or yellow. This natural colour cannot be changed through whitening techniques, what is possible is to lighten the shade within the same colour range.
In some cases, the stains may be extrinsic, when the patient has habits relating to smoking or the ingestion of drinks with colourings (coffee, tea, cola drinks, wine, amongst others) and intrinsic through the ingestion of medicines (tetracycline, excessive fluoride) or when the tooth has suffered an impact or trauma (through internal haemorrhage of the pulp towards the dentine).
For teeth treated endodontically the technique would be specifically for non-vital teeth and is called internal whitening.

Porcelain or resin crowns and composite fillings cannot be whitened and, therefore, should be replaced once the treatment is finished.
All whitening treatments must be indicated and supervised by a professional, as the products used can cause damage to the soft tissues if they are not adequately protected. The whitening technique with high intensity ultraviolet light is performed with 25% hydrogen peroxide. The light emitted is less intense and with a generation of heat far below all other systems.
It is very safe and whitens the teeth within an hour in the dental clinic, under the constant supervision of a professional duly qualified for the implementation of said procedure.
This system is known as ZOOM! It is innovative, effective and quick. In one sole appointment teeth of various shades are whitened and the change is immediate, it is the most innovative treatment at this time.
