What causes tooth discolouration?

There are many causes. Commonly the most likely causes include natural ageing and the consumption of substances such as tea, coffee, colas, red wine, tobacco etc. Also, during the formation of the teeth the consumption of tetracycline, some antibiotics or excessive flouride may cause tooth discolouration.

Who may benefit from treatment?

Almost anyone with discoloured teeth may benefit, however, treatment may be more effective in some as it is in others. Your dentist is able to acertain if you are a suitable candidate for treatment through a thorough oral examination and tooth shading assessment.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes. Extensive research and clinical evidence shows that under the supervision of your Dentist teeth whitening is safe. We do however recommend that teeth whitening is not for children under 16 years of age and pregnant women.

How long does whitening last?

If you follow simple post whitening care rules your teeth should always remain whiter than they were before treatment. To keep your teeth looking white we recommend flossing, brushing your teeth twice a day as normal and the use of Night White Gel available from your dentist.

How does teeth whitening work?

Whitening works by activating a Hydrogen Peroxide gel on the teeth which as it is broken down allows oxygen to enter the enamel and dentine. This procedure has the effect of bleaching the teeth whilst the structure of the teeth remain unchanged.

What can I experience during treatment?

Teeth whitening may be undertaken quite comfortably whilst listening to music or watching television. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may experience some difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. Sensitivity may also occur during treatment and on rare occasions a tingling sensation may be experienced after the procedure for a short while.
