Teeth Whitening

Why should I get teeth whitening?
Our teeth can become discoloured over time due to many different causes. This includes eating habits, and/or lifestyle choices.

What does discolouration look like?

Yellow, brown, tarnished teeth
Discoloured teeth due to medications such as tetracycline
Fluorosis – teeth become pitted or have brown, grey or black spots
Standard erosion of outer tooth layer

Benefits of take-home teeth whitening
There are many known benefits to take-home teeth whitening. Many patients find that in-chair teeth whitening treatments are painful. Take-home teeth whitening is a pain-free alternative, it is safe, cost-effective, and long-lasting.

How does Teeth Whitening work?
Stains on the teeth are one of two stains; extrinsic or intrinsic. Extrinsic stains are on the surface of your tooth. Intrinsic stains are below the enamel and deep inside the dentin of your tooth. Some over the counter products can remove the extrinsic stains but only professional whitening agents can safely remove the stains. DIY teeth whitening uses bleach to whiten and brighten your teeth. The solution used contains carbamide peroxide as the active ingredient. This bleach removes stains from the surface of your teeth and penetrates the tooth enamel to break down the discoloured molecules and remove the stains inside your tooth.
