TOOTH WHITENING QUESTIONS
Can you give me some information about tooth whitening?
1) Yes, we have a custom built studio especially for tooth whitening and cosmetic treatments.
2) The whitening is done in 3 sessions of 20 minutes each. We apply a specialised whitening gel to all the teeth and apply the laser. If the teeth start very dark we may decide to give a further 20 minute session for free provided patient is willing and it's safe. We aim to please and get the best result for our patients.
3) The procedure is simple with no side effects and you can achieve up to 7 shades lighter.
Why would any one want to do the whitening in the practice and not at home?
1) The patient may not apply the gel evenly and therefore the results can come out blotchy.
2) The patient may end up burning his gums because of lack of experience.
3) Tooth whitening in the practice is quicker (1 hour treatment) as apposed to home whitening (20 minutes each time -day and night).
4) Sometimes people prefer the experienced dentist to do the treatment.
5) In our practice you enjoy the spa like atmosphere. You can watch a movie of your choice or listen to the radio or get a massage on the special shiatsu chair. This makes the treatment a pleasurable experience.
6) At all times the procedure is supervised by experienced, trained professionals.
Can we do the whitening at home?
1) Yes, if you prefer to do it yourself, we take an impression of your mouth and make customised trays for our patients. The trays fit better so the results are more even / less blotchy and the tray is more comfortable to fit in your mouth.
What is the difference between Zoom and Bright Smile.
Zoom is more up-to-date and has less side-effects. Though both companies claim the same-up to 7 to 8 shades whiter, Zoom can achieve this in less time and the results are longer lasting.
We have used most brands in our practice and currently are finding best results and value for patients using Zoom.
We were the first practice in UK to be offered and order ZOOM 2.
What percentage of whitening do you use?
25% Hydrogen Peroxide. The Zoom 2 has better chemistry and less sensitivity.
