Why do my teeth get stained?
Our teeth are like sponges - they absorb the coloring of foods and beverages that we put into our mouths. Acidic and sugary contents such as carbonated drinks erode the enamel, increasing the absorption of stains from other food substances. Teeth also yellow over time due to pigmentation inside the teeth.
Fortunately, stains caused by food and beverages are easily reversible with good oral care, professional cleaning and whitening procedures.
Types Of Teeth Whitening Treatment
There are two types of teeth whitening treatments that individuals can choose to under-go. Depending on your preference, you may choose to do either treatment without the other, or both.
Chairside Teeth Whitening
An in-clinic procedure done by dental professionals that speeds up the process for a photo-shoot ready, bright smile. A boost for whiter teeth to compliment regular use of a Professional Home Teeth Whitening Kit.
Professional Home Teeth Whitening Kit
Gentle and customisable, while effective and long-lasting - there's no reason not to love a Personal Teeth Whitening Kit! Easy on the pocket and reusable whenever necessary at home and even at work.
Chairside Teeth Whitening
Safe when done by a professional, teeth are gradually whitened by applying a higher concentration of dental bleaching gel on teeth surfaces, and activating the process of whitening with UV light. Chairside Teeth Whitening delivers fast results but tends to create a little more tooth sensitivity and discolouration relapse, and should not be carried out on a regular basis. However, it should not be done too frequently.
This is why at AllSmiles Dental Care, we encourage our patients to use a Professional Home Teeth Whitening Kit, in combination with chairside treatment. In this way, you may touch up your whitening in the comfort of your own home.
Professional Home Teeth Whitening Kit
Our preferred method of teeth whitening that is gentle on teeth, yet effective. Individuals can conveniently whiten their teeth with our Professional Home Teeth Whitening Kit at home, or while at work! And did we mention that it's also re-usable and affordable?
Our personal teeth whitening kits are custom made according to the teeth of our patients. Impressions of the teeth will be taken to create fitted trays to ensure that the dental bleaching gel is held along the surfaces of the teeth without overflowing. Bleaching gel will be dispensed by your dentist for use at home.
All that is needed to be done is to apply the gel onto the bleaching trays and put them over your teeth. At the end of the prescribed duration of wear, simply remove the trays and rinse off any excess product from the teeth.
