Yellow teeth can have a big impact on the way you feel about your smile. More people than ever before are enquiring about teeth whitening with our dentist Chelsea and teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments at Chelsea and Fulham Dentist. A clean, white smile is attractive to look at, shows that you take care of yourself and also gives the appearance of good health and wellbeing. Poor oral hygiene and avoiding the dentist are responsible for your teeth becoming yellow, so make sure that you have a good oral hygiene routine and visit us at least every 6 months to help prevent this.
If you would like to undergo teeth whitening safely and gradually in the comfort of your own home then you need to speak to us at the practice and make sure that it is suitable for you. Our dentist Chelsea will carry out an examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that there are no underlying dental issues and they will assess the extent of staining to help you decide which form of teeth whitening is most suitable for you.
Enlighten
Enlighten teeth whitening can help whiten your teeth by up to 16 shades and the best thing is that this can be carried out in the comfort of your own home. It is a 2 week treatment process where you are provided with two different teeth whitening gels to break down the stains on your teeth. In the first week you will use a 10% carbamide peroxide gel and move on to the 16% carbamide peroxide teeth whitening gel in the second week. The kit also comes with a desensitising toothpaste which you need to use throughout the process and the signature Enlighten dental trays which are manufactured to fit to your teeth with accuracy and precision ensuring comfort and successful results.
At bedtime you need to begin by brushing your teeth as usual, flossing between your teeth and drying your teeth before you apply the whitening gel. Next, you apply a small drop of the gel to the front of the trays for each tooth that needs to be whitened and place the trays over your teeth, pressing down until they are comfortably in place, wiping off any excess gel from your mouth. The trays stay in your mouth overnight whilst you sleep and when you wake up in the morning you take them out of your mouth and wash them with cold water, so that they are ready for the next evening. Once you reach the end of your 14-day treatment you will need to visit our dentist Chelsea for a 40-minute whitening session at the practice to complete the teeth whitening process. We recommend the Evo-white toothpaste or tooth serum to enhance your teeth further. Teeth whitening can give a real boost to your confidence. With a good dental hygiene routine and regular visits to the dentist, results can last indefinitely so speak to our dentist Chelsea today to find out more.
