Can Whitening/Bleaching damage my teeth?

Bleaching treatment is thought to have very little risk, except for some short term soreness of the gums (bleach can irritate gingiva) and a mild increase in tooth sensitivity may occur, but it shouldn’t last long.

Tooth Whitening

As a person gets older, adult teeth naturally become darker due to mineral changes in the tooth. This is made worse by staining due to coloured food/drink, tobacco and even certain medications.

With a world increasingly focused on beauty and youth, it's no wonder that professionally performed tooth whitening has quickly become one of the safest, most common, anti-ageing cosmetic treatments in the market today.

Before and After using the Saber Tooth Whitening Kit

Cosmetics a Case for whitening

There has been much in the press about bleaching. We still believe that we are the only people qualified to carry out this procedure. All bleaching should be carried out prior to fillings (unless urgent), crowns and bridges. It is easier for us to get the shade right this way. We employ two methods of bleaching.

The advantage of this system is that it is over in one visit and we can get on with the rest of the work.
Home whitening using a home bleaching kit. We supply a kit that comes with instructions and the bleaching agent. We construct thin mouth guards specifically for you. These are filled with the bleaching agent on the surface adjacent to the tooth area to be bleached. These can be worn at night, removed in the morning, rinsed, soaked in our recommended mouthwash ready for the next evening. The advantage of this system is that you have control. You can decide within reason, when you think that your teeth are light enough. Then schedule for any further treatment. This process can take up to a month.

For both systems we have a toothpaste that can be used on an ongoing basis to help maintain the colour of your teeth, however sometimes re bleaching is required.
