TOOTH WHITENING

There are different ways of whitening teeth. Crowns and veneers are very tooth destructive. Bleaching gels applied to your teeth in trays over many hours produce large amounts of tooth sensitivity and can be quite painful. The newest option is power bleaching which is very quick. At the Dental Healthcare Centre we researched many power bleaching systems and found BriteSmile to be the best suited for our patients needs, being both very quick and very safe.

Safety studies conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey found conclusively that BriteSmile whitening resulted in no structural change in teeth; no adverse impacts on fillings and no softening of tooth enamel, these study results were confirmed by senior researchers at New York University.

The BriteSmile treatment is recognised as the worlds leading whitening system and offers our patients safety and science within the comfort of our practice. The pH balanced proprietary gel is not harmful to the gums and because it cannot be ingested it does not carry many of the risks or side-effects of other options in the market place. Unlike the "do-it-yourself" at-home whitening options, there's no fuss or mess and no gels or trays to take home. All you have to do is sit back and relax while the BriteSmile dentist and dental assistant perform every aspect of the BriteSmile process.

The BriteSmile gas plasma light technology, combined with the gentle bleaching gel, has created a revolutionary method of teeth whitening which quickly, safely and effectively whitens all teeth at once. The patented BriteSmile light is not UV, heat or laser-activated. It is a gentle, blue light that is wavelength matched to the whitening gel to effectively whiten and brighten your teeth in just over an hour. What it all means for you is that our whitening results confirm an average of 8 or more shades lighter, and even higher for individuals with darker teeth. Years of coffee, cigarettes, red wine and other stains seem to magically disappear.

The procedure is very straightforward. First you have a complimentary consultation to answer all of your questions. If you are interested in moving forward with the treatment, our dentist will then examine your teeth and gums to ensure that they're healthy for whitening at that time. Then, while you relax, listen to music, or even nap, the BriteSmile proprietary gel and blue light treatment work to whiten teeth to their optimal brightness.
