Whitening or Bleaching

What is tooth whitening?

 It is an actual bleaching process that lightens discoloured enamel and dentin ( the second layer of tooth structure). There are two systems to get your teeth their whitest: At home and in the office.

Who may benefit from whitening?

 Almost anyone! However, there are some cases where the treatment may not be as effective. Dr. Rickards will be the best to determine whether you are a candidate through a thorough oral examination and diagnosis.

What is the home bleaching technique?

 Thin custom trays are fabricated to fit over your teeth. These trays are used to hold the whitening gel on your teeth. Depending on the type of system you choose, you will either wear the trays for 8 hours during the night or a 1 hour session during the day.

What is the in office whitening technique?

 Similar materials are used, but the whitening gel is activated by using and intense blue light over the gel and your teeth. At Concept Dental Centre, a one and one half hour appointment is scheduled and the bleaching process is done right here in the office.

Is it safe?

  Yes! Research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide under the supervision of a dentist is safe for both your teeth and your gums. At Concept Dental Centre we consider this to be the safest whitening process available today.

 Either way you choose to whiten your teeth, the process is closely monitored by Dr. Rickards and his team to ensure your success and comfort. The whiter, brighter smile you have always dreamed of can be achieved in just days. If you would like to know if you are a candidate for whitening, please feel free to speak with Dr. Rickards or any of our staff.
