Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening is a safe and non invasive Cosmetic Dentistry procedure that may be used to improve the colour of your teeth. It is a proven and effective cosmetic dental procedure.

How does it work?

The active ingredient used in teeth whitening is Carbamide Peroxide. The oxygen element penetrates the teeth and oxidises the stains and pigments within their structure. The basic chemical action is that the long chain colour molecules are broken down into shorter chains therefore changing the optical appearance of the molecules, which in turn makes the teeth appear lighter in colour. The shade of the teeth is improved, without altering the structure.

Is it safe?

Clinical studies have indicated that, under the supervision of a dental health professional, Teeth Whitening with Carbamide Peroxide is safe for teeth and gums, with no long term side effects
