The foods and beverages we consume daily are packed with chemicals and tannins that gradually infiltrate our dental enamel, causing stains and discoloration. This becomes particularly noticeable after indulging in beverages like coffee, tea, or red wine, which have a reputation for leaving their mark on our pearly whites. As time passes, these unsightly stains can become a permanent fixture, resistant to our best efforts at brushing and flossing. At this point, it’s worth considering a professional teeth whitening treatment to restore your smile’s natural brilliance and combat the stubborn discoloration that everyday consumption can bring about. By opting for a teeth whitening procedure, you can effectively erase the evidence of your dietary indulgences and regain the confidence that comes with a bright, stain-free smile.
Teeth whitening is a very simple, straightforward, and painless treatment that will improve the appearance of your smile. Even a little tooth discoloration can have a remarkable effect on smile quality and therefore, your self-esteem. If you’re interested in putting the glint back into your grin, speak to one of our teeth whitening specialists the next time you come in for a routine check-up.
The teeth whitening methods we use at our Dental Clinic, involve the use of a special bleaching gel and a mouth tray. We will custom design for you a mouth tray from impressions of your teeth. Once this has been prepared in our laboratory, you will return to our office and we will check the fit and explain how to use them. You will then begin your treatment in the comfort of your own home.
The results will become more and more apparent with each application and when your teeth have reached the desired level of brightness, you can cease treatment. It is advised that you keep up a maintenance program by wearing your tray with the bleaching gel every so often. Your dentisty will explain this to you during your consultation.
The whitening products prescribed to patients in dental offices are far more effective than those you buy over the counter at a pharmacy or supermarket. This is because the former contains a greater concentration of whitening agent and so, by law, cannot be sold without the recommendation of a qualified and experienced dentist. If your teeth are visibly stained and discolored, you are going to get the best results from an in-house professional teeth whitening treatment.
