Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to lighten the shade of your teeth and eliminate stains or discolouration.
This popular procedure is ideal for those looking to enhance the appearance of their smile and achieve brighter, more youthful-looking teeth.
Stains and discolouration can occur for a variety of reasons, including the consumption of dark-coloured foods and drinks, smoking, the natural ageing process, and certain medications.
The results of teeth whitening can vary depending on the individual and the type of whitening treatment selected.
Home Kit
For your convenience, we offer a customized home whitening kit, which allows you to whiten your teeth at your own pace in the comfort of your home. The kit includes custom-made trays that fit your teeth perfectly, along with a professional-grade whitening gel. Here’s how it works:
Custom Trays: During your visit, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create personalized trays that fit snugly over your teeth. This ensures that the whitening gel is evenly applied and stays in place.
Whitening Gel: The whitening gel is designed to safely break down stains on the surface of your teeth, leaving them noticeably brighter.
Simple Application: You’ll wear the trays for a prescribed period (usually 30 minutes to an hour a day) until you achieve your desired level of brightness. The process is gradual, ensuring a natural, even result.
Our home whitening kit offers a convenient and effective way to enhance your smile, with results that last longer than over-the-counter products. With the added benefit of professional guidance, you can enjoy a stunning, healthy smile with minimal effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is professional teeth whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes, absolutely. When performed under the supervision of a dental professional at EA Dental Specialists, teeth whitening is a safe and non-invasive procedure. Unlike abrasive “whitening” toothpastes or unregulated over-the-counter kits that can strip away enamel, our professional-grade gels are designed to gently lift stains from within the tooth without damaging the structure or health of your teeth.
How long will my whitening results last?
The longevity of your results depends largely on your lifestyle and habits. Generally, the effects can last from six months to two years. To maintain your bright smile for as long as possible, we recommend avoiding or limiting dark-colored foods and drinks (like coffee, red wine, and turmeric) and practicing excellent oral hygiene. Many of our patients choose to keep their custom-fitted trays for occasional “top-up” treatments at home to maintain their ideal shade.
