What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that helps to lighten teeth by removing stains and discolouration. All teeth whitening products contain peroxide, either as carbamide peroxide (CP) or hydrogen peroxide (HP).
You can whiten your teeth at home, but you will achieve better results by visiting one of our  dentists, as their treatments typically contain a higher percentage of peroxide and are less abrasive, leading to more effective results without damaging your tooth enamel.
What Causes Tooth Discolouration?
Dull, yellow and even dark grey stained teeth can be the result of many everyday factors, including:
Smoking
Coffee
Tea
Red wine
Soft drink
Certain antibiotics.
If you have spent years smoking or are an avid coffee drinker, chances are your smile is not as white as it used to be.
Am I a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
The best candidates for teeth whitening are:
Mature enough to fully understand the procedure
Experiencing stained and discoloured teeth
Knowledgeable about the procedure
Realistic in their expectations.
This is only a partial list of the criteria that cosmetic dentists will consider in determining whether or not this procedure is appropriate for you, and it may also depend on your individual circumstances.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
The peroxide in teeth-whitening products dissolves the organic stains in the tooth to change the colour and produce a whitened effect. This is achieved by entering the tiny pores of the enamel and dentin and breaking up the stains that block out light. More light passes through the teeth and makes them look lighter as the stains are broken into smaller and smaller pieces.
In-practice procedures are more effective as they can remove internal stains, whereas over-the-counter options are only able to remove surface stains.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
The price of teeth whitening depends on your individual circumstances and the desired results. You may require just one treatment or several depending on your situation.
