Teeth Whitening Borough

Tooth Whitening: the main problem many patients have with their smiles is that they are not confident with the colour of their teeth and the shades. Fortunately, this works ideally for those patients; this is the most straightforward remedy with our tooth whitening sessions! A dentist or a dental hygienist can perform this procedure, and tooth whitening sessions are the most popular non-reconstructive dental treatment. Below we will hopefully give you all the information you need about our tooth whitening sessions. A tooth whitening session is when the dentist chemically alters the colour of your teeth and whitens them up to 4-5 shades brighter. This is done by applying a chemical to the teeth and either shining a light on it to break off the staining agents or repeatedly exposing the teeth to the chemicals in question to get the stains off. This procedure is safe and will not harm your teeth or your health. Usually, tooth whitening sessions are coupled with a hygiene session, so it is not purely aesthetic; it also has a health benefit. The teeth are also frequently polished after a tooth whitening session, making the tooth surfaces smooth and shiny and making it very difficult for bacteria to start living on the tooth surfaces.

Most people desire to have a sparkling white smile. However dark beverages, tobacco and even colourful fruits and vegetables can stain teeth over time. But with the procedure called “take-home whitening” you can effectively brighten your teeth at home through a process that is custom designed for you. To begin, a shade guide is used to record the colour of your teeth before treatment. Next, impressions are taken from your mouth. Impressions are used to model the exact shape of your teeth. The models are used to create whitening trays that fit your mouth perfectly so that only your teeth are in contact with the bleaching agent in order to lessen gum sensitivity. Once your custom trays the ready, you'll be given a bleaching gel that will best suit your needs. You will be advised to apply the gel to the trace and how often to use the product. To begin whitening your teeth at home, first, thoroughly brush and floss your teeth. Then, put the recommended amount of whitening gel in your custom trays. Once the trade is in place, wipe away any excess gel. The carbamide peroxide in the gel then penetrates the enamel and breaks down stain deposits. When the time is up, remove the trays and clean your mouth and trays thoroughly. Repeat this procedure as recommended to achieve the desired results. When your treatment is complete your teeth will be noticeably wider. On your next visit, a shade guide will be used to record your success.
