Through the use of a custom-made delivery system
and the latest in teeth-whitening technology, you can
have whiter and brighter teeth.
Teeth whitening is a simple and effective process
that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. The
system uses a peroxide-based gel retained in a customfitted
appliance that is worn over your teeth. It can be
used during the day or while you sleep.

WHAT CAUSES TOOTH DISCOLORATION?
There are several causes, the most common being ageing,
staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco), trauma,
tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, and nerve
degeneration.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM TEETH WHITENING?
Almost everyone with natural teeth! However, there are
cases where treatment may not be effective. A Denturist will
determine if you are a viable candidate following a thorough
examination. The tooth-whitening system is ideal for people
who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have a
whiter, brighter smile. The whitening process is most effective
on mildly discoloured teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused
by antibiotics, take longer to respond to treatment. The degree
of whiteness will vary from person to person, depending on
the structure of the teeth and how long the system is used.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
Results are usually seen following the first night. The best
results generally occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14
nights.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?
Teeth will always be lighter than they were. However, some
patients may need periodic re-whitening for one or two nights,
every four to six months.
