Teeth whitening has become a popular dental treatment. In this age of social media and the ever-growing health and wellness industry, many people are aiming to look and feel their very best. Part of this is ensuring your smile adds to your confidence. Modern advances and dental techniques now allow for quick and easy in-chair whitening and take-home kits to keep your smile bright.
In-chair Teeth whitening is carried out by our oral health professionals and involves chemically treating the teeth with a whitening agent, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide and exposing the teeth to a special light to accelerate the whitening process.
Take-home tooth whitening treatments are completed at home by you under the supervision of your oral health professional. We will custom-make thin, plastic trays that fit over the surface of your teeth. At home, you will use a tooth whitening gel placed into these trays and then worn for a set amount of time. You will be given full instruction on how to carry out this process from home.
For the most successful outcomes, we suggest an in-chair whitening session with a customised take-home kit to use as maintenance. Feel free to discuss your options and to arrange an assessment as to your suitability for teeth whitening next time you are in the surgery.
