Whitening teeth is very simple and is a successful method of lightening the teeth, Giving you a brighter whiter smile  the whiteness will vary between each patient and how stained the teeth are to begin with, different processes’ of bleaching can also be used to increase the final result. 

Lifestyle Teeth Whitening Solution is a combination of treatments, you will have an initial consultation and then be given a two week home treatment, once you have completed your home treatment you will need to visit the clinic for a one hour consultation with a dentist, enlighten teeth whitening works by increasing the tooth’s permeability to oxygen – this breaks down stain molecules. 

Also offered at Lifestyle Dental, is a one-hour teeth whitening treatment, this is a powerful treatment and can lighten you teeth up to seven shades in just one hour. We are very careful with this procedure and your teeth and gums are covered whilst a special gel is applied to your teeth, the gel is then activated by a special light, causing the gel to penetrate your teeth that breaks up stains and discoloration. 

The final option we offer for whitening is the at home treatment, we will take a mould of your teeth and create a custom-made mouth tray from this mould, we will then show you how to add the gel to the mouth tray which needs to be worn for a short time in the day or whilst you are asleep, the results from at home whitening are see after two weeks.
