Why choose professional teeth whitening?

Opting for professional teeth whitening at a dental clinic boasts numerous advantages compared to over-the-counter products.

This treatment is under the expert supervision of a dental professional, guaranteeing both safety and exceptional effectiveness. Professional whitening uses stronger bleaching agents, providing more significant and longer-lasting results than DIY kits. Additionally, the procedure is customised to fit your unique dental profile, considering factors like tooth sensitivity and the specific causes of discoloration.

Who should get professional teeth whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is ideal for those looking to remove tooth stains and enhance the brightness of their smile. It is suitable for individuals with healthy teeth and gums, without fillings or restorations. People with yellow tones to their teeth typically respond best to this treatment. However, it's not recommended for everyone. For instance, individuals with gum disease, worn enamel, cavities, or those who are pregnant should avoid this treatment.

A consultation with Dr Msimanga can determine whether teeth whitening is appropriate.

How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening includes applying a bleaching agent to the teeth, usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. This process can break down the stains into smaller particles, diminishing the concentration of colour and making the teeth appear whiter.

At Dental Bliss Clinic, the procedure starts with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to ensure suitability for the treatment. Depending on the whitening procedure, a safeguarding gel or rubber shield is administered to shield the gums. We then apply the whitening product to the teeth. Some whitening agents are activated using a special light, enhancing the effectiveness of the process.

The treatment usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, and you may require more than one visit to achieve the desired result.

How are the results maintained?

To maintain teeth whitening results, we recommend:

• Preserve good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing regularly. Using a whitening toothpaste once or twice a week can help remove stains and maintain brightness.
• Minimising the consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Using a straw for beverages can reduce direct contact with your teeth.
• Regular cleanings and checkups at Dental Bliss can help maintain your whitening results and overall oral health.
• Depending on personal habits and the type of whitening method used, touch-up treatments may be needed every 6 months to 2 years.

At Dental Bliss Clinic, we understand that a bright smile can significantly impact your confidence and appearance. Our teeth whitening services aim to provide safe and effective results, helping you achieve a naturally brighter smile.
