Tooth Whitening

There are three ways in which your teeth can be whitened; Zoom! Home whitening or Porcelain veneers.

Zoom! tooth whitening, was first featured on TV’s ‘Extreme Makeover” and is now the most popular form of whitening. It is the most time efficient method of tooth whitening available today. Zoom! consists of placing whitening gel on the teeth and then placing the special Zoom! light on them and in just over an hour your teeth will be perfectly whitened.

Home whitening, this treatment takes longer than Zoom! but the results achieved are just as good. In order for this treatment to be carried out a mouth guard will be made to fit your teeth and a whitening solution is placed on them. You will need to wear this for up to 15 sessions for approximately two to three hours each time. The main advantage of this whitening method is that it allows you to control how white you want your teeth to be, as you determine how long you want to wear the mouth guard and how many sessions you need.

Porcelain veneers, this treatment tends to be used for the improvement of very discoloured or previously restored teeth.

Veneers

Smiles can be altered by the use of cosmetic bonding or porcelain veneers. We can also repair chips, close spaces, remove discolourations, change colours or re-shape teeth. These procedures are done with minimal or sometimes no tooth enamel removal. Veneers are usually placed on the teeth that can be seen when you smile, but in essence almost any tooth can be veneered. Porcelain veneers are some of the most beautiful and durable restorations that we have to offer.

Crowns

A crown is a restoration that covers or caps a tooth to restore its normal shape and size and is most commonly used on broken teeth. Following treatment a crown gives extra strength to a tooth and protects a badly decayed tooth from fracture. When a crown is necessary, we now have the ability to fabricate an all-porcelain crown for both the front or back of the mouth. There is no metal in this crown, which therefore gives the tooth the most natural appearance. Crowns can be used on almost any teeth and if properly maintained will last for many years.
