Tooth whitening is a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface.
There are two methods in which Purity offers to achieve this.
“Home” bleaching - Firstly, the dentist will take an impression to make the rubber mouth trays so that they fit your teeth precisely,the bleaching gel used is much stronger so it tends to be more effective then the ‘over the counter’ kits. The dentist will give you tubes of bleaching gel and instructions on how to put the gel in the mouth trays. You will need to wear the mouth trays for at least a few hours each day. It may take a few weeks to achieve the colour that you want and some sensitivity may occur.
Zoom Power Tooth Whitening - This procedure is carried out in surgery. The dentist will begin by preparing to cover your lips and gums leaving only your teeth exposed. Then, the bleaching gel is placed onto your teeth which is designed to be used with a specially designed light. This light activates the bleaching gel and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth, breaking up stains or discoloration. The appointment may take between one to two hours and results are achieved instantly or within 24 hours.
Patients who have the power tooth whitening will also receive a free ‘Home’ bleaching kit. This procedure is excellent value for money.
