At Eastgate Dental Care, we are proud to offer teeth whitening products and treatments to help our patients to bring out more radiant smiles, such as Boutique Whitening and Enlighten’s Evolution™.
The active component in most teeth whitening gels is a high concentration of either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.
These agents will help to bleach the teeth enamel and remove the yellow stain in your teeth.
The ideal candidate for undergoing teeth whitening treatment is an adult with healthy teeth and gums. For most people, teeth whitening yields excellent results. The Enlighten’s Evolution™ treatment can whiten teeth up to 16 shades brighter. Teeth whitening is possible only on natural teeth and superficial surface stains. So it is not possible to work on dental restoration teeth such as bridges or crowns.
Teeth Whitening can aggravate sensitive teeth, but you may still be suitable for low concentration carbamide peroxide whitening treatments. Your dentist will give you advice on the best product to use to whiten your teeth.
We do not recommend whitening treatments for pregnant and lactating women to avoid passing whitening chemicals onto breastfeeding infants or fetuses.
Most people who undergo teeth whitening treatments experience little to no side effects and are pleased with the treatment results. However, there is a minor group that have experienced side effects like extra sensitivity or gum irritation.
