Teethwhite Laser Whitening is a cosmetic treatment and not a dental treatment and therefore it does not necessarily require to be carried out by a dentist. The process involves protecting the soft tissue (gums) before painting three, 10 minute, applications of a hydrogen peroxide gel on to the teeth. The treatment takes about an hour and is completely painless aside from slight sensitivity which can occur in some cases. |

Thermoforming bleaching trays will easily mold to the contours of your teeth, allowing bleaching gel to closely contact your enamel. Ready made trays simply don't allow the close contact that peroxide bleaching needs.

| Questions & Answers |

Q: How does tooth whitening work? A: Tooth whitening gels contain Carbamide Peroxide which is dispensed into the custom fitted trays and worn over the teeth. Gel releases oxygen which penetrates the tooth enamel down to the dentine - lightening without harming your teeth. Q: How long does it last? A: Once whitened, your teeth should stay at that colour for up to 3 years. Over time your teeth may discolour through drinking, certain foods and the natural aging process, you can simply re-apply the gel to top up the procedure, you can order gel separately from Mint Condition. Q: Who can benefit from tooth whitening? A: Almost everyone. Tooth whitening works best for people who have healthy, un-restored teeth and would like a whiter, brighter smile. Tetracycline discolorations and artificial dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental bleaching although artificial dental work will lighten back to their original colour. Q: Is tooth whitening safe? A: Yes, both the Laser and the at-home bleaching systems are completely safe. Years of research indicate that whitening teeth with Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide is safe and effective. Research shows there is no risk to the enamel of the teeth. Q: Can tooth whitening hurt my gums? A: Tooth whitening gels have no adverse effect and often improve the health of gum tissue. Q: Are there any side effects? A: There are no significant side effects. Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during treatment and others have reported discomfort in the gums or in loose fillings. Gum irritation usually disappears within 1-3 days after beginning the procedure and always upon the discontinuation or completion of treatment. Q: If I am pregnant or nursing, should I have this treatment? A: There is no known hazard associated with whitening teeth while pregnant or nursing. However, effects on baby/foetus have not been sufficiently studied and therefore should be avoided. |

How can I maintain my new white teeth? We recommend the following to maintain your new Smile:
· Brush your teeth at least twice daily or after each meal and floss daily (usually before you go to bed) Use of dental floss definitely helps prevent gum disease because brushing removes only about half of the plaque from the surface of a tooth. To prevent tooth decay and gum disease, it is necessary to physically remove bacteria from between the teeth–something a toothbrush can’t do. While a conscientious effort should be made to lower the floss beneath the gum line comfortably until it meets resistance, it’s not good to force the floss under the gum line until it hurts because that could cause damage to the gum tissue. · Use whitening toothpaste and a soft bristle toothbrush. · You may wish to consider using other products, such as a mouthwash and chewing gum, which are both designed to prevent stains from adhering to the tooth surface. · Visit your dentist every six to twelve months for regular cleanings and checkups. |
