Teeth whitening
Teeth can be stained by foods, drinks, smoking and
certain medications. Teeth whitening is a safe procedure that can lighten the colour of your teeth by using a safe dental bleaching
agent. Individual results vary and are based on your initial tooth colour and the nature of your tooth staining.
1. Power Whitening
Here your teeth are whitened in the dental chair. A protective barrier is
placed on your gums and lips, and a gel is placed on your teeth. A lamp is
positioned over the teeth and this activates the bleaching process. After one
hour you can expect your teeth to look a few shades brighter and is a popular
choice with many patients who have an important event coming up where they want
to look their best.
2. Home Whitening
Here we custom-make a lightweight plastic mouth tray for you that fits snugly
over your teeth. You then put a whitening gel inside the tray and wear it at
night or for a few hours during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks
and your teeth will also appear whiter and brighter.
