Bleaching Trays
About Teeth Whitening
As you get older, your teeth naturally become darker. Sometimes if you drink a lot of tea, coffee, red wine or have other foods and drinks with strong colourings, your teeth may become discoloured earlier in your life. Another major cause of discolouration is smoking, which can make your teeth appear yellow. Tooth decay, fillings and tartar (plaque that has built up and hardened on your teeth over time) can also contribute to discolouration.
Tooth whitening products can help to lighten your teeth. They usually contain either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. When these chemicals break down, oxygen gets into the hard outer surface (enamel) of your teeth, which whitens them.
The Procedure
We take upper and lower impressions of your mouth. The bleaching trays will be made here in our laboratory and will be ready for collection within a couple of days along with 4 tubes of bleaching gel and full instructions of how to use and care for your custom made trays.
