Teeth Whitening: Everything You Need to Know

The desire to have a radiant and healthy smile is becoming more and more common. Teeth whitening has become one of the most requested treatments in dental clinics, thanks to its fast and effective results. If you are considering this procedure, it is important to know your options and have the advice of a professional.

At Sonrisa Perfecta Dental, led by Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys in Cartagena, we specialize in taking care of your smile in a safe and professional manner. Since you should always make sure to make the best decision, here are some facts you need to know before you decide.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is an aesthetic procedure that helps remove stains and lighten the natural color of teeth. Whitening products act on the enamel to eliminate pigmentation caused by coffee, tobacco or aging. At Sonrisa Perfecta Dental, we use advanced techniques that guarantee visible results from the first session.
Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys explains that she uses the technologies that are currently setting the trend in the best dental centers. She highlighted laser teeth whitening, UV whitening, and LED whitening. All are available at the Sonrisa Perfecta Dental spa-type clinic.

Whitening options: Which is the best?

Whitening in a dental clinic: This professional method is the most effective and safe. At our clinic, we offer whitening with laser technology, UV rays, and LED light, designed to minimize sensitivity while maximizing results. These treatments are applied with the use of specially formulated gels to offer the best result for each patient, regardless of the origin of their pigmentation.

Home whitening kits: Although they are an economical alternative, the results are less predictable and can cause damage if not used correctly. Therefore, we always recommend carrying out a prior evaluation. This prior evaluation must be carried out by a dental aesthetics specialist such as Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys in Cartagena.

However, it is worth noting that many home treatments of dubious origin are currently being sold, especially on the Internet. These products do not have the proper supervision of health authorities and do not have quality or effectiveness tests. For this reason, they not only represent a risk to health, but no one can guarantee their effectiveness.

Natural remedies: myth or reality? It is common to hear about home methods such as the use of bicarbonate or activated charcoal, but these can be abrasive to tooth enamel. It is better to opt for proven and safe solutions such as those we offer at Sonrisa Perfecta Dental.

Check if you are the ideal candidate for teeth whitening

Not everyone is suitable for teeth whitening. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys performs a personalized evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate. This treatment is ideal for people with healthy teeth, without cavities or active periodontal diseases.

If you have any periodontal or dental pathology, Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys begins with corrective treatments to cleanse the entire oral cavity. She then performs dental prophylaxis, which consists of a deep professional cleaning to remove any food residue or source of infection. Once these two steps have been completed, laser teeth whitening is carried out.

Myths and realities of teeth whitening

A series of theories have emerged about teeth whitening, many of which lack veracity. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys clarifies some of the myths and realities that exist about this treatment.

Myth: «Whitening wears away enamel.»
Reality: When performed correctly, under professional supervision, it does not affect the structure of the tooth.
Myth: «The results are permanent.»
Reality: Although the results can last a long time, factors such as diet and oral hygiene influence their maintenance.

Aftercare after teeth whitening

At our clinic, we provide you with an aftercare plan so that you can prolong the results. We recommend avoiding staining foods, such as coffee and red wine, for the first 48 hours, as well as maintaining a proper oral hygiene routine.

A bright, white smile not only improves your appearance, but also your confidence. At Sonrisa Perfecta Dental, Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys and her team are committed to offering you a safe and effective treatment. If you are considering teeth whitening in Cartagena, schedule your consultation with us and take the first step towards the smile you have always wanted!
