Tooth whitening

• Bleaching

Bleaching or teeth whitening is a simple, painless way to make your teeth whiter. Although teeth are very hard, the outer layer, enamel, has microscopic pores that can discolour over time, from smoking and food colouring. Sometimes, discolouration can occur during early tooth formation from antibiotics and fluoride consumption.

• Home Bleaching

The bleaching gel applied in a transparent tray fits snugly over the teeth. It can be used during the day or while sleeping. The process takes from several days to a couple of weeks.

• Office-bleaching

This bleaching technique is fast and effective. The gel is applied on all front teeth and the whitening process is activated by laser light. It is done in one or two visits. All kinds of bleaching can cause post-treatment sensitivity and some amount of gum irritation. These symptoms disappear within one to three days after completion of treatment. The whitening lasts for 6 months to 1 year, depending on your personal habits, such as smoking, panchewing and drinking coffee and tea. The outcome of every case is different.
