Improve your colour and enhance your smile. The most common causes are external stains from smoking, coloured food or drinks (berries, tea, coffee, red wine) and certain antibiotics in childhood. Stains isolated to one tooth may be caused by dental decay or diseased nerve.
Teeth can be whitened externally in 2 ways:
1. ‘In office’ system uses a high concentrate gel. It takes less than 30mins a day (fastest option)
2. ‘Take home’ system. Impressions are taken of your teeth and sent to the laboratory to be made into trays. The gel is placed in the fitted tray and worn in the comfort of your home.
Teeth whitening may need to be repeated every 1-2 years depending on the patient lifestyle and habits.
