Teeth are critical to a person’s overall appearance. A more attractive smile can build a person’s self confidence, improve career opportunities and even determine whether a person is likely or willing to smile. A survey by the American Dental Association (ADA) says that a person’s smile outranks their eyes, hair and body as the most important physical feature.
Dental whitening has become very popular and is an easy fix that can make a dramatic change.
Our In office Whitening Treatment (Non Permanent Whitening) is the safest way to Whiten your teeth using led technology. There is no harmful UV rays used, resulting in reduced sensitivity.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
What’s the appeal of in-office teeth whitening?
It’s a quick, easy and relatively inexpensive smile brightener that makes you feel better about yourself. A brighter, whiter smile also makes you look younger, and of course smiling makes you feel happier. We tend to overlook how critical teeth are to our overall appearance. A more attractive set of teeth can be life changing.
How effective is it?
The results vary, but normally results are anywhere from 5-7 shades lighter than your existing, natural tooth colour. To further enhance the result, we can provide a home whitening top up kit.
Can anyone do it?
If you have crowns, bridges or veneers, dental whitening is absolutely out of bounds. Crowns, bridges, veneers can not be colour enhanced, so if you whiten your teeth, you’ll end up with a patchy colour result that won’t be what you had hoped for. If you have active gum disease or need fillings, you should not have a whitening treatment carried out until the repair work is done.
How long does the process take?
It’s advisable to have your teeth cleaned before a whitening treatment. The cleaning and whitening can be done in one sitting, on the same day.
How long does the result last?
It depends on the foods and drinks you consume and also how meticulous you are about cleaning your teeth particularly after consuming ‘staining’ foods and drinks.
Any special care needed to maintain results?
Immediately, post treatment, you must avoid ‘staining’ items for at least 48 hours; no tea, coffee, red wine, tomato sauce, for example. Further limit staining foods and drinks for longer lasting results.
