A highly effective and affordable procedure
Teeth whitening often referred to as bleaching, is a highly effective and affordable procedure that whitens teeth and leaves them feeling ultra-clean. Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured due to a range of factors, such as acidic foods, dark liquids (tea, coffee, red wine and juices), smoking, certain prescription medications, a lack of proper oral hygiene, the ageing process, trauma and even genetics. A combination of these factors over a lifetime can cause your teeth to lose their sparkle.
Teeth whitening can help to remove these stains and restore a brighter, more youthful appearance to the teeth. There are several different methods of teeth whitening and whilst generally considered safe and effective, it is important to consult with a dentist before beginning any whitening treatment to ensure that it is appropriate for your individual dental health.
There are two options for teeth whitening to suit your daily lifestyle.
In-chair or in-office teeth whitening treatment is performed by a dentist whilst you are sitting in the dental chair. This treatment uses strong hydrogen peroxide gel and often a light placed over the teeth. You should leave your dental appointment with whiter teeth.
Take-home teeth whitening treatment is completed at home by the patient. This involves the use of custom-make thin, plastic trays that fit over the surface of your teeth only. At home, the teeth whitening gel is placed in these trays and then worn for a set amount of time. Your dentist will advise you on how to place the whitening gel in the trays, how much to use each time and how long to wear the trays for each time also. This method of teeth whitening does take longer than treatment completed in the dental clinic, but this does not mean that the final result is better or worse.
