Bleaching the teeth is not recommended as it harms the surface of the teeth and weakens the teeth generally - although it is cheap you eventually will pay the price by possibly needing major restorative dental work. Teeth should always be whitened (what some call bleaching) by a qualified dentist who has been specially trained to carry out the proceedure. Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile. Tooth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth.
The teeth of humans display a wide range of shades of white. There is no one specific color that a person's teeth are supposed to be.
Teeth enamel discoloration can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage or naturally discolored, such as teeth with tetracycline or fluorosis staining. Common causes of teeth discoloration are medications, coffee, tea or cigarettes. Genetics play an important role, some people have naturally whiter enamel than others.
How white your teeth can become from bleaching and whitening is a common question with a very subjective answer. Some whitening procedures claim they can whiten your teeth by up to nine shades, but that is highly unlikely. Just a change of two or three shades will make a significant difference in just about anyone's smile. There is no one standard system in the dental field to measure and determine tooth color. The most often heard about, however, is the Vita shade guide. This guide divides tooth color into four basic shade ranges; reddish brown, reddish yellow, grey and reddish grey. In the A range there are five levels of darkness. Ranges B, C and D, each have four levels.
Not all of your teeth are the same natural color. Usually your eye teeth tend to be darker than the others, your front teeth are typically the whitest, and molars tend to be a shade between the two. The goal for everyone is to achieve their individual optimum whiteness while still looking natural.
Our clinics use Zoom! and SoniWhite teeth whitening systems. Zoom! and SoniWhite is the culmination of extensive research into light technology, chemical reaction to light and years of traditional tooth whitening experience. Combining this proprietary light technology (specially designed for tooth whitening) with a specifically formulated hydrogen peroxide gel in a two part delivery system results in a tooth whitening system that significantly reduces the time it takes to achieve dramatically whiter teeth.

Teeth whitening can be used to effectively remove stains and with laser whitening systems to actually go further and bleach or whiten the insides of the teeth - the area of the tooth called the pulp which can quite naturally be varying shades of yellow which shines through the outer tooth enamel thus yellowing the the overall colour of the teeth. Laser teeth whitening very effectively removes this yellowing and thus more powerfull than home bleaching kits which only treat the outside of the teeth. Prices for laser teeth whitening vary according to sophistication but in the UK the blue-light teeth whitening treatment costs upwards of £500 whereas in Hungary around £350 is normal. There are other treatment systems available including Zoom and SoniWhite.
Combine your Teeth Whitening with other
cosmetic or even re-structural work and you'll soon see yourself saving
huge amounts. As a rough guide we think the minimum cosmetic work you would
require to make your trip worthwhile, just in terms of savings, would be teeth
whitening combined with at least 4 veneers or there about. That is, of course, without including
the other benefits which is you get to stay in one of the most beautiful
cities and rapidly becoming the hottest destination in Europe as yet mostly unexplored by the majority of western Europeans.
