Teeth Whitening

Diet, oral hygiene, previous fillings, your enamel quality – everyone’s mouth is different. A thorough assessment prior to commencing any whitening procedure will determine its effectiveness for you. A brighter and whiter smile is the best place to start to freshen your look and the best way to achieve instant results is with professional teeth whitening. It is a safe option that gives brilliant results for almost every patient. Professional teeth whitening, commonly known as “in-office bleaching”, is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services. The procedure involves the use of a relatively high-concentration peroxide gel, which is applied to the teeth after the gums have been protected with a paint-on rubber dam. The peroxide is kept on the teeth for around 15 to 20 minutes and applied at several intervals for a stronger, more thorough whitening effect. The procedure is extremely delicate. It must be administered by a dentist or a trained dental technician under carefully monitored conditions to ensure a safer, more comfortable treatment. At our practice, we use dental whitening systems that give outstanding results. The hydrogen peroxide-based gel penetrates the enamel structure to lighten your teeth from the inside, without weakening the tooth. Over-the-counter or store-bought whitening products don’t work and may even damage your natural teeth. They are usually ineffective and in some instances can wear away your natural enamel. Professional teeth whitening is safe and will always give good results while also being affordable. Most people can expect immediate results of 1-2 shades lighter, with further lightening and stabilisation over the next two weeks, up to 3-4 shades lighter than when you started. The results usually last for around 12 months. We recommend using take-home whitening every 12 months to maintain your lovely new teeth' colour, along with regular dental examinations and cleans. Teeth whitening uses a unique and patented process that combines pure green light from the KTP Laser and a specially formulated non-acidic red whitening gel to create a photodynamic teeth whitening treatment that is highly effective yet gentle on the tooth enamel. The dentist treats each tooth individually until optimal results are achieved. Laser–activated fluoride treatment is then placed on all the whitened teeth to stabilize the results. Laser whitening is one of the most effective methods of whitening teeth. Unlike other whitening treatments, it can only be done by a dentist. During the procedure, your teeth are covered in bleaching gel. The laser used in the process heats up the gel and whitens your teeth in the process. We need to take specific precautions to protect our teeth and gums during the bleaching/lasering process.
