Teeth whitening

Our practice has been accredited as an Enlighten Professional Teeth Whitening centre

Enlighten has been called the biggest breakthrough in Tooth Whitening in the last 15 years and is the only system in the world to guarantee that the teeth will get to a "VITA shade B1" which is the whitest shade on a regular dentist shade guide. The teeth look really naturally white after the treatment - unlike treatment where porcelain is used like veneers or crowns.

The breakthrough is that the guarantee applies to every single patient regardless of starting colour, age, lifestyle or dietary habits.

The procedure is simple and takes 2 weeks for 95% of patients. The dentist takes a special super accurate impression of your teeth and sends this to Enlightenbtn-registernows dedicated lab where new "super sealed" bleaching trays are made - (these trays were originally invented by a Los Angeles dentist in his own practice).

The patient wears the trays for 14 nights and then visits the dentist on the 15th day for a 40 minute in surgery session.

Amazingly the concentration of the gel the dentist uses in the Enlighten system is a quarter the concentration of most other whitening systems. This is possible due to the increase in permeability achieved by using the super sealed trays.

Results last indefinitely as long as you wear the trays 6 nights a year after your treatment. There arenbtn-registernowt even any special dietary instructions so you can keep drinking coffee and red wine.
