DO YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL WHITE SMILE

  

Tooth Whitening using the Voco Perfect Bleach custom tray system.Teeth discolour for many different reasons and several years ago, brightening ones smile meant costly crowns and veneers at the expense of healthy tooth substance. Due to progress in modern dentistry teeth can now be whitened with gentle gels. Teeth whitening can help you achieve a beautifully white smile by bleaching your teeth and removing any deep stains that cannot be removed by brushing or hygiene treatments. There are various systems using different concentrations of carbamide peroxide - the active ingredient in the bleach. The bleach does not harm your tooth substance but releases active oxygen into the tooth structure where it gently brightens discolouring pigments pain free. We use the custom tray whitening system as it is safest and works extremely well.

First an impression is taken and a thin plastic whitening tray is custom made for your teeth. You then fill this tray with the whitening gel and wear it as instructed. Normally within 10 days a noticeable whitening is achieved. Bleaching is most successful on slightly discoloured teeth - fillings and restorations are not whitened. Whitening is normally very stable over a period of years. During treatment teeth may sometimes become sensitive to temperatures but this is normally only temporary and you will be instructed what to do if this occurs. Other side effects are not known.
