There are 2 ways of bleaching:

First, bleaching in the clinic (In-office bleach):

It is a whitening procedure performed inside the clinic by your dentist for immediate results. We have several types of bleaching inside the clinic, including the plasma, which operates within the clinic.

The teeth are completely isolated and the bleaching material (hydrogen peroxide) is placed for 15-20 minutes under the plasma, and then the process is repeated several times until you reach the color and smile desired. This type of whitening is fast with amazing results.

We also have chemical teeth whitening available. First we isolate the teeth and put a chemical (hydrogen peroxide) without radiation or light for a certain period of time to achieve the desired color. This whitening quality has a good effect and amazing result on the color of the teeth.

Second, home bleaching:

This procedure involves transparent molds of the patient's teeth taken by the dentist. Carbamide peroxide is filled in the mold at home and worn for a certain period. It does not need light or radiation; the gel penetrates the enamel layer and the oxidation of pigments removes pigmentation.
