Safe teeth whitening Have you always wanted a beautiful white smile or have your teeth darkened over time? By Dr Ashok Jakhu Christmas offers ... available until 31st January 2016 Whatever your reason for wanting whiter teeth, you are not alone. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people in Britain had their teeth whitened last year. At Wycherley’s Dental Practice we will firstly carry out a detailed consultation and we will always make sure your whitening is carried out in a safe, professional environment by appropriately trained staff. Teeth whitening is safe Teeth whitening is one of the safest and conservative forms of cosmetic dental treatments allowing the natural colour of your teeth to be lightened without removing any tooth surface. If carried out by a trained dental professional teeth whitening is perfectly safe. After a full examination and assessment of your oral health I will discuss with you the options available, decide if tooth whitening is appropriate for you and develop an overall treatment plan that gives the desired result. You will get to see what shade your teeth are on a colour chart before the treatment and what shade you are likely to achieve. At the end of the treatment I will show you the actual result so you can see how effective it was along with digital before and after images. How teeth whitening works Whitening won’t remove the surface of your teeth or change their shape. It’s often a better option than alternatives, such as veneers, because it doesn’t involve permanently altering the tooth’s structure and is easy to look after. Some teeth are yellower or darker than others even when they are quite healthy and teeth tend to get darker as people get older. Towhiten the teeth awhiteninggel (Hydrogen Peroxide or carbamide peroxide) is applied to your teeth using specially-made trays that fit in your mouth these trays are worn at night. You may experience some sensitivity for a short time during your treatment but this is normal and will soon fade away after you stop whitening your teeth. We use Enlighten teeth whitening system, it is the only system to guarantee that the teeth will get to a VITA shade B1which is the whitest shade on a regular dentist shade guide. We also offer a basic Pola home teeth whitening service. Teeth Whitening will only lighten natural tooth substance. It will not work on any types of false teeth such as fillings, dentures, crowns and veneers. If your dentures are stained or discoloured visit your dentist and ask for them to be cleaned. Stained veneers, crown, fillings, bridges or dentures may need replacing; again ask at your consultation. Enlighten CombinationTeethWhitening You are given Enlighten teeth whitening syringes to whiten your teeth at home for two weeks. After this a high concentration teeth whitening gel is carefully applied for 2 sessions of 20 minutes in surgery on the fifteenth day of whitening. The hydrogen peroxide in the gel penetrates the enamel and removes underlying stains and discolouration. The results should last many months, depending on your lifestyle. The advantage with combination bleaching is that it is done in a controlled and gradual way. These syringes can be purchased at your examination.
