Teeth whitening works when the active ingredients in the whitening gel penetrate into the outer and inner layer of teeth to break down discoloured molecules in your teeth. Once these stains and discolourations are removed, you will have a whiter and brighter smile!

The outermost layer is enamel, while the layer inner to that is dentine. Enamel is generally thin and translucent while the dentine makes up the bulk of the tooth and appears to be darker in colour. Enamel can be discoloured as we age and also from other sources like coffee, tea, smoking tobacco. Frequent consumption of acidic foods and beverages will also cause our enamel to wear down faster over time which would allow more of the darker coloured dentine to show through.

The results after teeth whitening are very stable, giving you a bright smile long after your treatment is over. However, factors such as frequent consumption of coffee, tea and smoking tobacco can affect the length of the whitening results. Touch-up treatments can be done easily to help you get back that beautiful and bright smile!
