The Ins and Outs of Enlighten Whitening

Thursday, September 22nd, 2016

18625010We are proud to offer our clients the best cosmetic dental treatments on the market, including Enlighten whitening. Enlighten is the world’s leading professional whitening system; if you’re looking for a beautiful, bright smile this autumn, this is the perfect choice!

The ins and outs of Enlighten

Enlighten is a whitening treatment that uses both at-home and in-chair methods. Treatment takes 15 days, with the first 14 days involving home treatment followed by a professional in-chair session on the 15th day.

We recommend Enlighten because it is tried and tested, the results are amazing and long-lasting and the procedure is safe and simple. This is the only treatment currently on the market that guarantees the lightest, brightest shade of white, B1.

The Enlighten treatment process

Enlighten treatment is simple and convenient. Before you start your treatment, we will ask you to pop into the clinic so that we can make an impression of your teeth, which will be used to create your bespoke whitening trays.

When your trays are ready, you will undergo 14 days of treatment at home. All you have to do is wear your trays for around 6-9 hours per day (most people prefer to wear theirs at night while they sleep) and you will start to notice that your teeth look lighter and whiter.

On the 15th day of your treatment, we invite you back to the clinic for a power whitening session, which lasts just one hour. During this procedure, whitening agent will be placed on the teeth and bright light will be used to activate it. After treatment, your smile will look stunning and the results will be visible straight away.

Get Whiter Teeth in the Heart of Leeds

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

2977218_blogA tooth’s natural whiteness can start to fade over time if the tooth enamel’s mineral composition starts to change. The process of discolouration can be accelerated by numerous factors such as smoking or consumption of coffee or red wine.

The process of teeth whitening involves brightening the teeth through the use of oxidising agents such as carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. These agents get to internal stains by penetrating the tooth enamel and gradually bleach the layer of dentin lying beneath the tooth enamel. In most cases teeth whitening results will last for several months, but this will vary from person to person. Premature discolouring can be caused by smoking or consumption of liquids with a strong colour.

Home whitening treatment

Sometimes patients will wear a custom-designed tray containing a bleaching agent in a process known as at-home whitening. The low intensity oxidising agent in the tray needs to be kept close to the teeth for roughly 6 hours a day for between 5 and 15 days. The results of this process can vary according to what system has been used. Some will notice hardly any change after a few days, while for others the change could be significant.

Teeth brightening treatment

For most people, teeth whitening is an effective treatment that leads to teeth being significantly brightened. Some stains, however, do not respond to bleaching. For tetracycline staining, because the agent has to get to the tooth’s dentin layer, the process of bleaching will take longer. If there is staining on just one part of a tooth, there will be a noticeable difference between the stained and unstained parts, meaning that although the tooth will generally look whiter, the results will be less impressive. Any white spots on a tooth may also be more obvious once the tooth has been whitened. In general, decayed teeth or teeth that have a natural grey tinge will not respond as well to whitening.

Although teeth whitening can slightly change the colour of composite restorations, it will not change the colour of any restorations made of metal, ceramic material or porcelain.

Oral hygiene treatments

Poor oral hygiene, smoking, wear and tear and diet can all cause the enamel to lose its natural whiteness and often a really good clean can make the world of difference.

Whitening treatment

Spring is here and it’s the perfect time of your to give your smile a boost. With home whitening treatment, it’s never been easier to make your teeth sparkle. All you have to do is wear specially made whitening trays at home for six hours a day for around 14 days. These trays are custom-made based on impressions of your teeth and they contain bleaching agent, which lightens the shade of the teeth when it comes into contact with the enamel coating. In just 14 days, your teeth will be noticeably brighter and whiter and the results will last for a long time.

One of the biggest draws of home whitening is the simplicity of the process. This form of treatment is also really flexible, so you can fit it in really easily around your daily schedule. Many patients find it easier to wear their trays during the night and then treatment has no bearing on their work or social commitments.

Are There Any Side Effects After Tooth Whitening?

Friday, February 13th, 2015

386703_blogTooth whitening is a really popular treatment that gives your smile a gorgeous, healthy glow, but is it safe and are there any side effects?

Is tooth whitening safe?

Recently in the news, you may have spotted articles talking about illegal tooth whitening or horror stories related to people who have had an adverse reaction to whitening treatment. These stories relate to treatment provided by non-trained professionals. EU legislation has been introduced to protect the public from illegal whitening and ensure that whitening treatment is provided only by qualified, experienced dentists.

When whitening products are in the hands of a dentist, you can rest assured that treatment is safe and the results are amazing.

About home whitening

Home whitening is a really simple and easy way of achieving a lighter, brighter and whiter smile. Home whitening involves wearing a specially-designed tray that contains bleaching agent. The tray is designed fit your mouth perfectly and the agent gradually lightens the shade of the teeth when it comes into contact with the enamel. We usually recommend 10-14 days of treatment and you should wear your trays for around 6 hours per day.

The beauty of home whitening is that it gives flexibility, as you can tailor your treatment to suit your schedule. Many people wear their trays at night so that treatment has no bearing on their work or social commitments.

Are there any side-effects?

Sometimes, sensitivity can occur following whitening treatment. However, this is usually very mild and it is short-lived. The majority of people don’t experience any problems at all with home whitening.
