services - teeth-whitening
Lets face it – we all want whiter teeth, however it can be daunting and confusing regarding how to do this. What works – what doesn’t work – “I don’t want to waste my money” – “I don’t want to damage my teeth”. Let us dispel any myths and clear this all up.
When do we need a teeth-whitening
Every day our teeth are exposed to Chromophores, these are colored compounds with in foods and drinks that are absorbed into teeth. These chromphores can come from – red wine, coffee, tea, smoking, currys and heavily coloured foods. When absorbed into teeth these Chromophores darken the teeth causing yellow teeth or darkened teeth.
Teeth Whitening works by breaking down these chromophore molecules into smaller molecules that allow light to pass through the tooth easier, hence giving lighter looking teeth or whiter.
Teeth Whitening never produces that undesirable ‘Hollywood’ look as it only will allow the teeth to lighten to a natural shade. Often the ‘Hollywood’ look͛ is overly white veneers.

How many appointments do we need
If you are smoker, coffee drinker or enjoy the odd red wine, you may have to touch up with further whitening every 6-12 months. If you avoid food and drink that stains your teeth results can last up to 24 months.
