Tooth whitening techniques when carried out at the dentist are perfectly safe and there are no long term side effects. The alternatives to whitening i.e. veneers and crowns are far more destructive and should only be considered if whitening alone could not achieve the same aesthetic result.

Tooth whitening is a great way of getting fantastic looking results with no damage to tooth structure. Both home and in-surgery techniques are employed at the practice.

Enlighten Extreme Whitening

Evolution bleaching works by increasing the tooth’s permeability to oxygen which breaks down stain molecules. It is a combination treatment meaning that there is a 2 week home treatment followed by a 1 hour visit with your Dentist.

Enlighten’s home whitening system combines superb quality gel, unit dose desensitisers and a unique tray design which gives a complete seal. This extends the half life of Evolution gel keeping the concentration high for prolonged periods without saliva contamination and gel deactivation.

Evolution bleaching can whiten teeth up to 16 shades, results vary but if used correctly all teeth will whiten dramatically. Results can last indefinitely with some very simple maintenance, wearing the trays for 1 night every other month.

Smile-X represents an evidence based evolution in home whitening technology consistently out-performing the sector on both whitening and sensitivity.

Zoom! Advance Power Professional whitening system

Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens the discoloration of enamel and dentine. The Zoom! light activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentine, bleaching coloured substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! Light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it to penetrate the surface of the tooth.

The procedure usually takes between one to two hours including a full consultation regarding the Zoom! treatment and during this time, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. We begin by covering your soft tissues (lips & gums) with a lip balm and a protective barrier in order to shield them from the effects of the gel and ultra violet light. The Zoom! light gel is then applied to the teeth, followed by three 15 minute sessions with the Zoom! Advance Power light.

Prospective patients are required to read and understand the Zoom! consent form prior to treatment.
