Over time, teeth darken as minerals penetrate their outer enamel layer. Foods and beverages that stain can cause this darkening.
We can prescribe a home whitening system that will safely lighten these stains, giving you a whiter, brighter smile. A specially formulated whitening gel, designed to be highly effective, yet safe, gently forces oxygen through the enamel of your teeth. The process virtually erases stains and brightens your teeth without damaging your tooth enamel or your gums. |

First, we thoroughly examine your teeth and your mouth to make sure at home whitening is an appropriate option for you. We then take impressions of your teeth, anmd use these impressions to make models of your teeth. Using these models, we make a personalised whitening tray that fits tightly over your teeth, allowing us to achieve optimum results. |
Enlighten Whitening works by increasing the tooth's permeability to oxygen which breaks down stain molecules. It is a combination treatment meaning that there is a 2 week home treatment followed by a 1 hour visit to the dentist.
Q: How white will my teeth get?
A: Enlighten Whitening can whiten up to 16 shades, results vary, but if used correctly all teeth will whiten dramatically.

Q: Will they look too white?
A: No, natural teeth rarely look too white. Sometimes very white crowns can look wrong because they are made of porcelain.
Q: Will my crowns, veneers or fillings change colour?
A: No, sometimes you may need to change some of these after whitening.

Q: Is there any pain or discomfort?
A: You may get some sensitivity, however, our dentist
will give you easy to use desensitising swabs to take home, which will work immediately. You will also receive a tube of Tooth Serum toothpaste to brush with, while you wait for your trays, this also helps with sensitivity.

A: Two weeks after our dentist delivers your Enlighten Whitening trays. These are thin and comfortable and must be worn in bed for 14 nights, then on the 15th day you need to see our dentist for a second treatment which takes only 40 minutes.
Q: How long does it last?
A: Results can last indefinitely with some very simple maintenance, wearing the trays for 1 night every other month. Continuing to brush with Tooth Serum will also prolong results.
