What is Teeth Whitening?

What is teeth whitening?

Despite brushing or cleaning your teeth every day, you may notice your smile begins to lose its shine with the passage of time. Though proper oral hygiene can go a long way in preventing stains; regular intake of several foods, medications, coffee, tea, etc. can contribute to your teeth yellowing or discolouring. If you research the market, you will be amazed to see a number of teeth whitening kits available, claiming to offer desired results. As a general rule, all DIY projects come with a set of risks.

Whitening lightens the colour of your teeth and helps to remove stains and discolouration, making it one of the most popular dental cosmetic procedures on offer. It’s important to know, however, that whitening is not a one-off process. It needs to be repeated over time to maintain brightness.

What is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic solution to remove tough stains and spots from teeth. In the teeth whitening treatment, a whitening gel will be applied on your teeth. The gel will enter the tooth layers, effectively lightening the affected areas. The results of the treatment may vary from person to person depending on the condition of the teeth and type of staining.

One-hour in chair whitening is good if you’re looking for a fast and convenient way to whiten your teeth. We use Zoom Whitening which is safe and very effective. The bleach is activated with a special laser, allowing it to penetrate your teeth more easily and more quickly.

Our customised take home bleaching kits are also a great option, the only difference is the time required to achieve a whiter smile. The most common technique is to use both; wearing your take-home whitening trays for a few hours each day after your in-chair treatment. This allows you to get rapid and long-lasting results.

Even before you make up your mind to get the treatment, we advise you to book a consultation with your dentist who will evaluate the best options for you. You are an ideal candidate for the treatment if you have healthy teeth and gums and you do not suffer from excessively sensitive teeth or receding gums. A teeth whitening method is an ideal way to remove tough and stubborn stains from your teeth and improve your smile.
