Tooth Whitening
Why do teeth discolour?
Everyones teeth are unique and stain and discolour in different ways.
Discolouration or staining of a person’s tooth is typically caused by:
Coffee
Tea
Herbal teas
Red wine
Spicy foods
Smoking cigarettes/cigars
How do I whiten my teeth?
WE provide you with a custom fitting tray and polarday/polarnight whitening gel. Oxygen free radicals, within the whitening gel, enter the enamel of teeth and breakdown the stains lying there. This will cause the teeth to safely lighten in colour.
White Dental Beauty is a neutral pH teeth whitening formulation of Hydrogen peroxide or Carbamide peroxide that can achieve your desired whitening effect in as little as 30 minutes a day. It also contains Fluoride to help reminaralise your teeth and protect them against tooth sensitivity.
The time it takes to whiten depends on your starting tooth shade and how white you would like them to go; on average this is between 7-14 days.
How long will my teeth stay white?
This depends on the person and their oral habits and how white they want their teeth to remain. It should be expected to touch up whitening every 12 months. This would only involve the cost of more whitening gel as the unique trays we make can last years.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Clinical studies have shown that bleaching with carbamide or hydrogen peroxide if done correctly under the application or instruction of dentist, is safe for teeth and gums
