|
|
Laser

trained in advanced tooth whitening procedures. PURE Spa
Ocean Terminal
has a weekly Monday evening clinic from 4pm to
9pm for initial consultations and treatments. |

What
does tooth whitening do? |
|
|
|
|
Tooth
whitening can be a highly effective, yet very simple way of
lightening the colour of teeth without removing any of the
tooth surface. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
does the procedure involve? |
|
|
|
|
The
dentist applies a chemical barrier to the gums, which will
protect them during the whitening process.
The whitening solution is then applied to the teeth and
the chemical is then activated using heat, or heat and light
combined. Once
the whitening process is finished the barrier will be easily
removed in one piece.

How
long does the procedure take?
|
|
|
|
|
The
process would normally take over an hour but our dentist will
advise you on your specific requirements.

Will
I be happy with the results?
|
|
|
|
|
Treatment
results may vary depending on the original shade of the teeth.
Teeth will tend to darken slightly over time.
The effect lasts for around 1 to 3 years, although
sometimes it can last longer, especially
if the laser tooth whitening is combined with a take home kit.
Your dentist can advise you of this.

|
When
might tooth whitening not work?
|
|
|
|
|
Whitening only works on natural teeth - it will not work
on any type of 'false’ teeth. This includes dentures,
crowns and veneers. If dentures are stained or
discoloured, it may be worth visiting the dentist and asking
him or her to clean them. Stained veneers, crowns and
dentures may need replacing. Again, ask our dentist.
There are also some types of staining or darkening of teeth that
are less responsive to whitening than others. Again our
dentist will advise on your specific situation.

How
do I care for my teeth after whitening?
|
|
|
|
|
Talk
to our dentist about maintaining the colour of your teeth,
and the products that are available for keeping the effect.
Each individual’s lifestyle needs to be assessed but
good oral hygiene and regular visits to the hygienist will
help to maintain the effect for longer.
Some
people find that their teeth are sensitive for the first few
days after treatment, but this wears off after a short while.
Our dentist will advise you of the products you can
use to counteract this.
Your
tooth colour can be maintained at home using a home whitening
kit. An impression of your teeth is taken and custom
made trays are made to fit precisely over your own
teeth. The home kit includes whitening gel which can be
applied using the trays and left overnight until the desired
colour is reached.
