Tooth whitening
Having a bright, white smile will lift your confidence and make you feel like flashing your pearly whites every chance you get.Many dietary and social habits can cause teeth to become stained and discoloured. The good news is that this does not have to be permanent. Teeth whitening treatment can change your discoloured teeth leaving you with a natural looking white smile.
Today we are all busy and our time is precious. Whitening treatment is now quick and easy and allows patients to complete the treatment in the comfort of their own home.
What’s involved?
Teeth whitening is the process of removing discolouration from teeth and improving their colour through a bleaching process to make them look “whiter”.Your dentist will take an impression of your mouth and make a tray, similar to a mouth guard that will fit your teeth precisely.
You will obtain the bleaching solution from your dentist that you will take home and place in the trays to simply whiten your teeth. Custom-fit trays keep the whitening solution on the teeth area only.
You will be required to use the whitening treatment twice a day for 2 weeks.
Results may be achieved in 1 to 2 weeks from beginning use.
Is it right for you?
Almost anyone can benefit from tooth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective from some as it is for others. Your dental practitioner can determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure through an oral exam, including shade assessment.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding with a surgical or invasive procedure, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
