How Does Deep Bleaching Tooth Whitening Work?
Some people have naturally darker teeth, and it is also normal for teeth to become darker as you get older. In addition, your teeth can be stained by years of smoking, drinking alcohol or drinking too much coffee. Whatever the reasons behind it, you may feel you need to do something about it. This is when a trip to your local cosmetic dentist for deep bleaching teeth whitening treatment is recommended.
Deep bleaching treatment involves the use of peroxide gels which give off oxygen. The oxygen permeates the teeth and blasts larger staining molecules into smaller molecules. It is the larger molecules on the teeth which make them appear darker so if these are broken up into smaller ones, the teeth will appear lighter than they did before.
So how is the peroxide gel applied to the teeth? Well, the first step is for a dentist to take an accurate impression of your teeth in order to make a customised ‘gum shield’ for the patient. These are then filled with the gel and worn overnight by the patient for about two weeks. The patient would then return to the dentist after this period to receive a final intensive bleaching session which lasts about an hour.
After the treatment has been completed the patient will notice a huge difference in the whiteness of their teeth. In order to maintain this, the patient should wear the tray with the gel perhaps once every 2 months. If they do this and if the tray is made properly the effect should be permanent.
All of this sounds very good but are there any drawbacks? Well, the one drawback which is very minor in most cases is the possibility of a little sensitivity at the beginning of treatment. However, teeth whitening Bolton dentist Cahill Dental Care say: “Your dentist should give you some desensitising toothpaste which will get you over the worst of the discomfort.
