WHITENING
YOUR INVITATION TO SMILE
We consider whitening to deliver the most cost-effective improvement smile enhancement on a per tooth basis. As an overall smile enhancement few people fail to notice a whiter smile.
As time goes on many patients find their teeth becoming more discoloured
One of the most common concerns we hear from patients are regarding the colour of their teeth. A whiter smile can give you a more beautiful youthful glow as well as improve your confidence and self esteem.
So whether you’re preparing for a special occasion, business meeting or just after a brighter smile; teeth whitening could be the solution for you.
Our Teeth Whitening services can treat dark/yellow tints, streaks, spots and pits.
At Ringwood Dental we offer two options:
In-Office Whitening
This is the fastest way to achieve a whiter smile and can be complete between 60 – 90 minutes. It works by applying a bleaching gel to your teeth, then using light to speed up the processes.
Custom-Made Whitening Trays
The custom-made whitening trays are a convenient option as they can be completed at home any time of day.
Typically bleaching gels are applied with the trays and inserted to allow precise contact with your teeth for 30-60 minutes which are usually worn between 7-10 days and the changes may take a few days to become noticeable.
After undergoing teeth whitening services, you may experience some tooth sensitivity which may last 1-2 days. In order to reduce your discomfort we recommend you use sensitivity toothpastes. To extend the effects of the treatment we also strongly recommend you take preventative measures such as brushing your teeth after every meal, rinse your mouth with water after having wine, coffee or soft drinks as well as maintaining regular check-ups.
Please be aware that some teeth, fillings or crowns may not change colour with these services. A darker tooth may also be a sign of decay or a dead tooth which may require a thorough professional examination (and any necessary treatment) to establish sound dental health.
