Tooth Whitening
A simple and easy way to remove stain and give your smile a lift!
Tooth colour can be very effectively lightened with specialist dental products containing
hydrogen peroxide.
Tooth whitening is completely safe; it improves the appearance without removing any
of the natural tooth substance.
The whitening products that we use can only be prescribed by dentists, are pH neutral
and contain special desensitising agents.
Recommended techniques
- HP9% - 9% hydrogen peroxide gel which comes in a pre-filled adaptable tray, ready
to adhere to your teeth in one easy step. It is good for the simple cases.
- Home System - this is the gold standard. For well over a decade this procedure has
set the whitening standard. The dentist takes precise impressions of your teeth
to create customised trays that fit your mouth perfectly. We will then send you
home with these trays, cartridges of high quality peroxide gel, and simple instructions.
You will wear the trays for 1-2 hours at a time, often overnight for convenience,
until the desired result is achieved. The advantages of this is that you are completely
in control, minimises any sensitivity and that you can top up the whitening whenever
you so desire.
- In Surgery Bleaching - This involves using a much stronger concentration gel which
is then of activated by heat or light. This is an excellent way of starting the
process but must be supported by home bleaching for maximum effect.
