Take Home Tooth Whitening
This technique requires taking an impression of your teeth, so custom-made whitening trays can be constructed to fit your teeth perfectly.
The whitening trays hold the whitening peroxide gel up against your teeth. Depending on the concentration of gel, the trays are worn for up to an hour a day, or whilst you are asleep, for ideally 7- 14 consecutive days. If we recommend using a take-home whitening kit detailed instructions for use will be provided.
One of the major advantages of this technique are the trays can be reused for future whitening top-ups.
There are many reasons for whitening your teeth:
- To reverses years of everyday staining and yellowing.
- To give a more youth looking and cleaner appearance.
- Boosts confidence as well as self-esteem.
Are you a suitable candidate for tooth whitening?
Almost anyone with natural permanent teeth can qualify for tooth whitening. However, tooth whitening is not recommended for:
- Anyone under the age of 16;
- Individual with extremely sensitive teeth;
- Pregnant or lactating women;
- It is also important to note Tooth-coloured fillings, crowns or veneers on your front teeth will not be whitened.
Good oral hygiene is essential for anyone who wants whiten teeth. Limiting your intake of stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea and red wine and quitting smoking will also aid whitening and help to prevent further staining.
