Reasons for Tooth Whitening:
The reasons why we choose to whiten our teeth are often personal ones. Share why you ultimately decided to whiten your teeth with others that may be struggling with the decision to change their smile, and whiten their teeth. Stained teeth due to medications, yellow, brown, stained teeth or Fluorosis.

How white will my teeth get?
Deep Bleaching can whiten up to 16 shades, results vary but if used correctly all teeth will whiten dramatically.

Will they look too white?
No, natural teeth rarely look too white. Sometimes very white crowns can look wrong because they are made of porcelain.

Is there pain or discomfort?
You may get some transient sensitivity, however your dentist will recommend desensitizing tooth paste for you to use also.

How long does it take?
Two weeks after your first impressions you will be given your whitening trays and gel. These are thin and comfortable and must be worn overnight for between 2 and 4 weeks with the gel in place.

How long does it last?
Results can last indefinitely with some very simple maintenance by wearing the trays with some gel for 1 or 2 nights every few months.

What Does Teeth Whitening Involve?
Enamel, the first layer of tooth surface, is actually semi-translucent, or clear. The layer underneath the enamel, known as dentin, is typically yellow, but may be gray, brown or black. This hue is what is seen penetrating through the enamel. In order to whiten the dentin, a peroxide solution is placed on the enamel. This process opens the pores of the enamel, allowing the solution to reach the layer of dentin. The solution will then begin to lighten the dentin, resulting in the appearance of whiter teeth
