Teeth Whitening

Professional cosmetic teeth whitening is a popular in-clinic procedure that can help improve the colour and brightness of your teeth. 

Treatment Process

• Gum Protection: To safeguard the gums from potential irritation during the whitening process, a vitamin E solution is carefully applied to the gums. This protective barrier helps prevent any contact between the whitening gel and the sensitive gum tissue.
• Hydrogen Peroxide Gel Application:  A hydrogen peroxide gel is then applied directly onto the teeth. Hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching agent commonly used in teeth whitening to break down and remove stains and discolouration.
• LED Light Treatments: The teeth are then exposed to a series of 20-minute LED light treatments. These LED lights serve to activate and accelerate the whitening process of the hydrogen peroxide gel. The light helps in breaking down the hydrogen peroxide, releasing oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth, effectively bleaching stains and discoloration.
• Non-Peroxide Option: For individuals with sensitive teeth or those who prefer a non-peroxide teeth whitening option, we offer an alternative whitening gel that does not contain hydrogen peroxide.

Expected Results

• Teeth whitening is generally visible immediately after the treatment.
• The procedure can lighten the enamel by up to 8 shades, resulting in a brighter and whiter smile.

Procedure Overview

• Procedure Time:  20 to 80 minutes, depending on the specific process and the desired level of whitening.
• Downtime Required:  After the treatment, patients are typically advised to avoid deeply coloured foods and drinks for the next 48 hours. This includes items like coffee, tea, red wine, and foods with strong pigments like beetroot.
• Results Duration: Avoiding such substances can help maintain the results and prevent new stains from developing. It’s important to note that the effectiveness and longevity of teeth whitening treatments can vary from person to person. The duration of the whitening effects can depend on individual habits such as diet, oral hygiene, and lifestyle choices.
• Cost of Treatment: $299
