Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. But as a person ages, the adult teeth often become darker. This darkening is due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth, as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, certain foods and tobacco.
There are two main methods of tooth whitening:
Tooth whitening – at the ART MEDIC Dental Clinic
In our clinic, we use the ZOOM Advance Power teeth whitening system. Our dentists apply high concentration of oxidising agent for a short period of time: a light – cured protective layer is carefully painted on the gums and a special light is used to activate the chemical teeth whitening agents for maximum result. After 3 occasions of 15 minute teeth whitening treatments, you will see a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your teeth, they can even become eight shades lighter than before. The ZOOM Advance Power teeth whitening treatment is completely safe, there will be no damage to the soft or hard tissue of your teeth.
Tooth whitening – at home kit
At ART MEDIC Dental Clinic, we use the Opalescence Tooth Whitening home kit. Our dentists prepare a plastic strip for you to hold a low concentration of oxidising agent, a teeth whitening gel. In your home, all you have to do is to place the gel in the strip and place it on your teeth before you go to sleep. The tooth whitening treatment can last from 2 to 12 nights, depending on the whiteness required. You will also receive a colour palette, where you can measure your progress.
