The basics of teeth whitening
Do you know what has caused your teeth to become discoloured?
Identifying the cause is the key to getting your teeth white again and keeping them that way.
Some common causes of teeth discolouration include:
- Ageing
- Smoking
- Eating dark-coloured foods and beverages
- Gum recession
- Tooth decay
- Enamel wear
- Medication
- Genetics
In most cases, tooth discolouration is the result of external stains that build up on the surface of the tooth enamel. These stains can be removed with an abrasive agent such as the paste used in a professional dental cleaning. If these stains stay on your teeth for too long, however, they can seep into the pores in your enamel and become intrinsic stains, discolouring your teeth from within.
This intrinsic stain cannot be removed through brushing or polishing your teeth. Instead, it can only be removed by a powerful dental bleach that penetrates the pores in your enamel.
The same is true of teeth that are yellow due to genetics or ageing; they are turning yellow from the inside and can only be lightened with a potent bleaching agent.
Professional teeth whitening treatments in Golders Green
We offer two advanced teeth whitening systems for you to choose from: Zoom! and Enlighten.
Enlighten is a professional take-home whitening system. We will design bespoke whitening trays for you, which you will use at home over the course of two weeks. This is then followed up with an in-surgery session for a final 40-minute treatment.
Enlighten guarantees that your teeth will reach shade B1 at the minimum. This shade is known in dentistry as the lightest natural tooth colour. If you wish to achieve even brighter teeth than that, we will work with you to help you attain your goal.
The in-surgery Zoom! treatment includes the use of bright light which activates the bleaching gel and helps you get dramatic and instant results. The take-home treatments work more gradually, but they give you control over the results you get. Many of our patients enjoy doing both; they have a session of professional bleaching and then take a whitening kit home to use for maintenance and touch-ups.
Teeth whitening at Lotus Dental Clinic
We follow a careful clinical protocol to ensure your comfort and safety during teeth whitening.Here are the steps of your in-surgery teeth whitening treatment:
01.
Check your teeth
We will first check your teeth to be certain they are suitable for whitening. We may recommend treatment or a dental cleaning before you bleach your teeth.
02.
Protect your eyes and gum tissue
At your bleaching appointment, we will apply a protective cover to shield your gums from the bleaching gel, and protective glasses to shield your eyes.
03.
Apply the bleaching gel and light
Next, we will apply the gel to your teeth and shine an intense whitening light on them.
04.
Enjoy the instant results
Your teeth will be instantly brighter after 15-30 minutes under the bleaching light. The entire process takes less than an hour and the results are dramatic.
If you would like a take-home whitening kit, we will scan your teeth and design a bespoke set of bleaching trays. You will fill the upper and lower trays with the recommended amount of bleaching gel and wear them over your teeth for 30 minutes to two hours each day, depending on the whitening product and your teeth whitening goals.
