Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror or in a photo and wished your smile was a little more… dazzling?
If so, you are certainly not alone. White teeth have become a beauty standard that indicates good dental hygiene and health, indirectly leading to improved self-confidence. Teeth whitening has thus become an increasingly popular treatment in Sweden and around the world, and there is now a plethora of different teeth whitening treatments – everything from the latest laser treatments to teeth whitening equipment you can use at home.
However, all these options can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time whitening your teeth. Therefore, in this guide to teeth whitening, we will review some available options, what teeth whitening costs at a dentist, how much it costs to do it at home, and how long a teeth whitening treatment lasts.
How to Get White Teeth
There are many proven ways to get white teeth, including:
– Gels
– Strips
– Trays
– Laser treatment
– Toothpaste
– Mouthwash
– Coconut oil
The best teeth whitening method for you depends on how much you are willing to spend, how quickly you want to see results, and how permanent you want it to be.
TandCity’s Teeth Whitening in Malmö
TandCity offers two types of teeth whitening in Malmö.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
If you choose at-home teeth whitening in Malmö, two clinic visits are required:
– During the first visit, we take impressions of your teeth and provide you with instructions and all necessary information to perform the teeth whitening yourself.
– During the second visit, you will receive bleaching agent as well as custom-made bleaching trays based on the dental impressions taken during the first visit.
In-clinic teeth whitening
With TandCity’s teeth whitening in Malmö, you can achieve white teeth in just 90 minutes. Our in-clinic treatment takes only a fraction of the time it takes to perform at-home teeth whitening, utilizing highly concentrated bleaching gel. The effect of the teeth whitening is further enhanced with a specially developed LED lamp.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
If you have undergone at-home teeth whitening using trays and bleaching agent, you can expect the results to last between six months and two years. The decisive factor is the extent to which your teeth are exposed to external influences during this period.
Teeth whitening performed at our clinic in Malmö typically lasts for several years. Just as with at-home treatments, this primarily depends on the external influences your teeth are exposed to after the whitening procedure.
What Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
How long is a piece of string? You can buy a tube of toothpaste for under one hundred kronor. At the other end of the spectrum, you can pay for laser treatment that costs several thousand.
Professional teeth whitening, of course, costs a little more than any of the aforementioned home remedies. However, you are paying for a dentist’s expertise who can provide you with tips and advice on what results to expect and what temporary post-treatment discomfort may arise. By listening, asking questions, and examining your teeth, the dentist can recommend the best teeth whitening for you.
TandCity offers two types of teeth whitening in Malmö:
– At-home whitening with trays and bleaching gel | 3500 SEK
– In-clinic whitening + trays for at-home whitening | 5500 SEK
Reasons for Discolored Teeth
Have you ever wondered why your teeth aren’t whiter? Our teeth are not meant to be dazzling white. Even though the enamel covering our teeth is bluish-white, its translucency means that the yellow color from the dentin shines through.
Enamel thins as we age, and the amount of discoloration that settles in the enamel increases over time. Therefore, it is normal for our teeth to become darker or yellower. For most people, this process can be accelerated depending on what we eat and drink, as well as other external factors. This includes:
– Berries: Even though berries contain large amounts of antioxidants beneficial for our health, their strong colors can cause stains (have you ever tried to remove raspberry stains from a white shirt?).
– Sauces: Colorful sauces like curry or tomato sauces can also cause stains, and the acidity of tomatoes doesn’t help either. If you want to avoid staining your teeth, we recommend choosing a lighter, creamier version instead.
– Coffee: The dark color and high acidity of coffee can cause stains on your teeth.
– Tea: Tea, especially black tea, can cause even more damage than coffee. Even lighter herbal teas can erode enamel and cause stains.
– Wine: The tannins in red wine can cause your teeth to take on a grayer tone. Meanwhile, white wine can darken existing stains, and its acidity can damage enamel over time, allowing more discoloration to adhere.
– Smoking: The nicotine and tar in cigarettes stain teeth very quickly. Heavy smokers may find that their teeth gradually take on a brown hue.
