Wedding Day Smiles – Whiten Your Teeth in Time for Your Big Day!

Tuesday, July 12th, 2016

wedding smileThere are many things to prepare for before a wedding. In the run-up to the big event, with all the stress and anxiety that comes with it, there is no need to feel even more worried due to your smile. Wedding photos are how people remember their important day, and the best thing you can do for your wedding day snaps is to show off your beautiful smile! If you are feeling self-conscious about your teeth, or think your smile is not worth showing off, tooth whitening treatments may be the perfect way to restore your confidence, so that looking happy in photos of the big occasion need not be a worry.

Why do teeth discolour?

Tooth whitening involves bleaching the teeth after they have become darker or stained. This discolouration is, to some degree, a natural part of growing older, as the mineral structure of teeth changes due to aging. However, the discolouration of teeth can be increased by smoking, as well as consuming certain foods and drinks, particularly tea and coffee. It can also be caused by bacterial build-up as a result of poor oral hygiene.

How does teeth whitening work?

The ‘at-home whitening’ procedure involves the use of custom-built bleaching trays for your teeth. These should be worn on the teeth for around six hours a day, for between five and fourteen days, in order to see the best results – so some preparation time is needed before the wedding day. The chemicals used are oxidising agents, which can penetrate tooth enamel, due to its porous nature, in order to bleach internal stains. Eventually, the dentin (the tooth layer under enamel) also becomes bleached. The effects of this can last several months for teeth whitening patients in the City of Leeds. The whitening agents should lighten your teeth, but not affect the colour of fillings or most other materials used to restore teeth.

Buying Great Working Whitening Kits in Leeds

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

There has been quite a growing trend over the last 10 years inLeedswith people rushing around to get their teeth whitened. A lot of this craze of white teeth is fed to us through the media everyday by the images we see, however, the idea of doing it yourself is very attractive indeed and if you go into a shop today, just take a look at what is on offer because companies have not been slow at coming forward to feed this hunger and the products have become very refined. The lower end of the scale you can purchase some remarkable toothpaste’s that will show a difference in your teeth within days. As you delve deeper into your pocket you can buy touch-up refillable pens, bleaching strips and gels that give remarkable results to your smile. Then of course you can buy the bleaching trays. All of these methods have one thing in common that make them so desirable- you can do it at your convenience, whenever you want, wherever you are and there in lies the attraction: a cautionary tale though. Before any of this, you should always confer with your dentist first and check for any signs of gum disease because if you have any, you can wreck your gums by going ahead with the bleaching.
