Why do our teeth darken?
The main factors that darken the teeth are staining foods like wine, tea, coffee, use of tobacco, and time. Foods that are slightly acidic also open up the pores of the enamel and allow stains to move in.
Is Teeth Whitening safe?
Research has indicated that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide is safe for the teeth and gums. The personalized trays isolate the solution to the part of the tooth that needs to be bleached and keeps contact with the gum tissues to minimum.
How does it work?
The bleaching gel is placed in a thin personalized tray that fits only over your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel, carbamide peroxide is broken down; oxygen enters the enamel and dentine and bleaches the colored substances. The structure of the tooth is not changed nor is there damage to the enamel. Only the tooth is made lighter and whiter.
How long does it take?
Results are usually seen in the first night and are dependent on the percent you choose. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 5 to 10 days.
Are there any side effects?
Some people experience increased tooth sensitivity to cold during the treatment. Others have reported temporary discomfort, such as gum or tooth sensitivity. These symptoms ALWAYS disappear within 1 to 3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.
How long will the results last?
Your teeth will always be lighter than they were. However, some people may need periodic re-bleaching or touch-up treatments. We recommend you to touch up 2 to 3 days every 4 to 5 months if you drink coffee, tea, red wine or use tobacco products, 6-8 months if you don’t.
