Its actually a bleaching process that lightens
discolorations from the teeth. The system recommended uses a mild
gel in a custom fitted gum shield which fits over your teeth while
you sleep. You also have the option of using the system during the
day as the custom fitted tray is hardly visible & does not interfere
with speach.
The most common reasons are ageing (comes to us all), staining substances
(coffee, tea, colas, tobacco), the antibiotic tetracyline, excessive
flouride & old restorations. what causes discolouration?
Almost everyone. However, there are some
cases whre the treatment may not be effective. Your dentist can
determine whether the treatment is suitable or if another cosemetic
procedure would be better. Tooth lightening systmes are ideal for
patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth & would like a whiter
briter smile!
Research has indicated that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide
is safe for teeth & gums under the supervision of a dentist.
The custom fitted trays isolate the gel to the part of the teeth
to be bleached & keeps contact with the gum tissues to a minimum.
The dentist will determine what concentration of bleaching solution
will be best for your teeth.
The benefits of the whitening process out
ways the cost. Giving greater self confidence to patients. Expect
