Tooth colour is inherited, in a similar way to hair and eye colour. This colour changes with advancing age. Teeth can also be discoloured by dietary products and foods such as tea, coffee, red wine, spiced foods and smoking. Some medications can also cause tooth discoloration. Tooth whitening is a procedure that can be carried out safely by a dentist to give you a cosmetically enhanced smile.

Home Whitening
For the conventional and popular whitening process of taking custom made trays to use at home. This process allows the procedure to be carried out in the comfort of your home. The dentist makes special trays that are specific to an individual’s mouth and fit like sports shields. A small amount of whitening gel is placed into the trays which are worn overnight only over a period of about two weeks. The outcome is a whiter, brighter smile. This is the most effective way of tooth whitening and the changes in tooth colour are noticeable in a few days. The process can be repeated several months later as necessary with the trays being worn only for a couple of days to enhance and re-create that smile moment…

Alternatively at Smile A Moment Studio we can lighten your teeth effectively in about an hour at the practice using a ‘power’ whitening technique. If you want an immediate effect, this is an excellent option as you can have lighter brighter teeth created during your lunch hour. We use BriteSmile technology.
