Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the most common cosmetic dental procedure and new technologies are continually being developed that aim to produce better results in a shorter period of time. Our teeth are naturally porous which means they are not resistant to discoloration and staining. There is a degree of variation in how porous people’s teeth are, meaning some people’s teeth are more likely to stain and discolour than others.

Certain foods and drinks such as red wine, coffee and curry tend to cause your teeth to discolour more readily as does smoking and certain medications. Poor dental hygiene is another obvious cause of tooth discolouration and this is something that you can control yourself. Regardless of your diet and dental hygiene, it is normal for our teeth to discolour with age and this as due to changes in the mineral composition of our teeth.

There are many different methods of teeth whitening and they are continually being improved upon. The most common teeth whitening procedures currently being used are as follows:

Home teeth whitening kits: These kits effectively use a peroxide solution to bleach your teeth to a whiter colour. The strength of the peroxide will not be as high as what can be prescribed by your dentist to ensure that you do not damage your mouth or gums.

Brite smile teeth whitening. This method uses a special whitening gel in conjunction with a high tech lighting system.

Laser teeth whitening: This is similar to Brite smile whitening only a laser is used to activate the whitening process rather than a light.
