Whiter teeth and a brighter smile are undoubtedly social assets, as they convey an impression of youth and vitality which impact positively on the way we are perceived by our social contacts. This explains why many of us will stop at nothing to whiten our set of teeth and acquire a bright, radiant smile.
Most people with stained or discoloured teeth can have professional teeth whitening done. It is the safe and efficient method of lightening the existing shade of the teeth. Teeth stains from smoking, food, drinks and those caused by certain antibiotics as well as those arising from natural ageing process can all be taken care of by teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening can be done in a dental office or at home under supervision by a trained professional, and the procedure is readily available in Cardiff. The whitening process is usually done by a professional bleaching method which requires multiple application of a whitening product over a period of two to four weeks.
During the procedure, the dentist protects the gum with a gel or rubber shield and the whitening product, usually containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied to the teeth by a specially made mouth guard which is fitted into the mouth. The mouth guard is made from the impressions of the patient's teeth obtained by a dental technician during the patient's first appointment.
Bleaching agents which contain a buffer that protects the enamel of the tooth are now available. This makes it possible to leave the bleaching agent on for up to eight hours each time, thereby shortening the duration of the entire treatment to about one week.
Recent technology now employs laser techniques for teeth whitening. Power whitening as it is called, expedites the whitening process, making the shades of teeth up to five or six times lighter within an hour. The gum is protected by a rubber dam before the bleaching agent is applied and a beam of laser projected onto the teeth activates a chemical contained in the whitening agent to bring about the whole process.
The result of one procedure may last for up to three years but it will need to be repeated from time to time if the bright colour of the teeth is to be maintained. Smokers and those who eat or drink products that stain the teeth may need to repeat the procedure more often to maintain the brightness of their teeth.
