| It
is normal for teeth to discolour over time,
but it is now possible to much improve the
shade of most teeth. Teeth usually respond
well - the existing shade can be lightened
considerably by applying a lightening gel
to them.
It is important to check that the teeth
are healthy first, and that there are no
particularly sensitive areas or cavities.
We offer 3 types of treatment - one is
done in our treatment room at the practice,
the other at home.
The UV light activated ('laser') method
This is completed in one session at the
practice, over a period of about 2 hours.
This method is the choice for people who
want an instant result. First the gums are
carefully covered to protect them, then
the gel is applied very precisely to the
teeth. A special 400 nm spectrum light is
then shone onto the gel to activate it.
We also give you accurately fitting plastic
'trays' to fit over your teeth so that you
can use the gel at home to maintain the
brightness of your teeth.
