How often can I Whitening My Teeth?
Current research shows that whitening should be done in regularly if you want to maintain a white bright smile.

This is where you have your initial teeth whitening procedure and a booster teeth whitening kit can be used to every three to six months to maintain the natural look and feel.

Is tooth whitening for everybody?
The last point to remember is that not everybody benefits from tooth whitening & therefore other solutions may be more appropriate such as Porcelain Veneers.

Are there any prerequisites to teeth whitening?
The most important thing though to consider is that you have a very healthy mouth before you carry out these procedures:

There are two conditions you should be concerned about

Gum disease like gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is caused by a collection of tartar on your teeth.
The whitening gel will whiten the tartar and damage your gums if you have any of these conditions and when in the future you get your teeth cleaned the teeth underneath will still be stained
Tooth decay. The whitening gel can creep into the nerve of your tooth causing severe pain if you have tooth decay
Therefore it is highly recommended that you have had a checkup done in the last three months before you have whitening done.

Most of the bleaching gels available are exactly the same.

There is very little difference from one dentist to another, because the gels are formulated by the relatively the same chemical.

The only difference between different brands is the concentration of the gels.

The higher the concentration of the gel the faster and better the bleaching process.

However, the downside is the more sensitive your teeth get during the bleaching process.

You should remember that the sensitivity is only temporary.

Most of the bleaching gels available at retail stores are of very poor quality.

They’ve been sitting in a warehouse or on a truck for who knows how long – and, because they are designed to be “low cost” (with low cost being sometimes the only consideration), they have very low concentrations of active ingredients.

The process involved in home whitening is as follows.

We need to make sure you teeth have had a good scale and clean in the last six months.

If not then we need to get them cleaned.

You wouldn’t want to whiten your tartar or calculus would you?

Impressions/moulds are taken to make special trays that fit your mouth, the gel is then placed in the trays and the tray inserted in your mouth for a set time we have suggested.

Generally the higher the concentration, the shorter the period of time per day that you leave the gel in your mouth.

As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin.

This bleaches out the discoloured areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed & the colour of the tooth is simply made lighter.

Why do dentists charge differently?
Prices vary between various dentists based on

The type of material that has been supplied (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide)
The concentration of the material provided (2% all the way to 35%)
The number of tubes that has been provided for home whitening
The number of cycles in office whitening ( one cycle to 4 cycles)

Don’t be fooled with cheap prices. There are always hidden charges when you actually get the procedure done.

Also it is always safer to have a dentist do your whitening as in the dental practice we protect your gums and other tissues such as cheeks and lips from being burned.

People who claim to do whitening and are not dental professionals can cause serious damage.

There have been multiple cases of severe burns with whitening when not carried out by a dentist.
