Teeth Whitening

Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume or smoking makes the teeth become darker.

Teeth whitening treatments have become very popular in recent years.

Teeth whitening is the name of the process of removing discolouration and stains from teeth and improving their colour through a bleaching process to make the teeth look “whiter”. It cannot make a complete colour change; but it will lighten the existing shade. Tooth whitening has been shown to be effective approximately 95% of the time for removing some or all discolouration and stains occurring in your teeth.

The whitening process occurs via using a hydrogen-peroxide or a oxgenated water-based gel. Free oxygen radicals attach to the stains in your teeth (oxidation). This causes the stain to disappear.

Teeth whitening treatments are known to whiten teeth up to 10 shades brighter and are the easiest and quickest way to gain brighter, natural looking teeth.With help of teeth whitening you can have a beautiful white smile by bleaching your teeth and removing any deep stains.

If you have stained teeth, which is a very common problem,it can be treated in a variety of different methods depending on the type of staining and the result wanted. Stained teeth can be treated with surgery teeth whitening by a dental hygienist or at home with teeth-whitening kits. Both procedures are based on a bleaching process that uses a peroxide-based compound of varying strength (3%-30% peroxide).
