Whitening
Whitening of your teeth should enhance your overall smile as an individual. Our aim is to achieve the best possible smile for each individual but not the same smile for everyone we see.
OUR SERVICES
Whitening
We understand that everyone is unique. Each one of us has their own skin tone, eye colour, hair type, smile and such like. A general standard Hollywood smile does not reflect the best for everyone. Ever seen the show called Friends? Remember when Ross whitened his teeth for his new girl-friend; it was so white it glowed in the dark! Whitening of your teeth should enhance your overall smile as an individual. It should not completely take over your image. Our aim is to achieve the best possible smile for each individual but not the same smile for everyone we see.
There are two types of staining which occur on our teeth; staining that is on the surface of the tooth, or within the tooth. Staining that has been built up within the tooth can only be removed by whitening, on the other hand, staining on the surface of the tooth may be removed by a simple cleaning session with the Dentist or Hygienist.
Tooth whitening is a procedure that brightens the colour of your teeth as it removes staining and discolouration. We provide 2 whitening services for our patients. The in-chair whitening with our Beyond light, plus a take home maintenance pen. The teeth are isolated with a protective barrier and the whitening agent is prepared and placed onto the teeth. The light activates the whitening agent. After several treatments, whitening of the teeth is achieved. A take home kit may be issued so you can maintain the colour of your teeth that has been achieved in the surgery, at home. The kit is used for 30 minutes a day for a week, after the in-surgery treatment. This ensures longer lasting results.
The other option is to use the take home trays. We will fabricate an upper and lower tray for you to use. The whitening gel is then applied into the tray and then the tray is fitted onto your teeth for 30mins. We will show you how to do this. Over the week, your teeth will be brighter and lighter
The key to whitening is maintenance. If you drink 4 cups of coffee/ tea a day, it would mean that the colour of your teeth will dull back down quickly, after the whitening process. Also, if your diet has a lot of curries, tomato or gravy based dishes.
