As you grow older, you might notice that the colour of your teeth becomes gradually less white. Traces of colouring left on the teeth’s enamel surfaces by the food and drink you consume can build up into staining. Beyond a certain point, this unsightly development can’t be removed by normal brushing. At dentists in Camden, teeth whitening solves this cosmetic problem in a simple procedure.
Ace Dental offer several methods of teeth whitening, to suit your preferences. Some of them are speedy, carried out in the dental practice within a couple of hours. Others are more leisurely, and can be done at home using special equipment. Whatever method you opt for, teeth whitening will give you a smile you’ll be proud to show off.
Relaxing treatment
Shades of discolouration can vary across a wide spectrum. Treatment will begin with a chat at the dental practice, where you can discuss how bright and white you’d like your teeth to be when the procedure is complete.
In the at-home whitening procedure, you’ll be given a plastic tray to wear over your teeth. Precisely customised for a snug fit, this tray contains a specially-formulated substance, which gradually enhances the whiteness of your teeth. The treatment is then finished off at the dental practice.
Power whitening treatments take place over a couple of hours in the dental practice’s treatment room. You’ll wear a similar tray containing the whitening substance, but its action is enhanced by a special light.
These treatments leave your mouth feeling fresh and minty, while your teeth look bright and rejuvenated.
Advantages of teeth whitening
The brightness will last for a long time after your treatment is over. If later you start to see discolouration begin to creep back in, top-up treatments are available to get you back to your desired dental shade.
Enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your teeth in this way can boost your self-confidence. If you have a customer-facing job, or have developed a reluctance to smile in photos, teeth-whitening can enable a new ease in social interactions. It’s a simple procedure that can have a big knock-on effect.
