How teeth whitening works

Teeth whitening products make use of hydrogen peroxide to whiten teeth successfully. The hydrogen peroxide works to oxidise molecules forming stains under the surface of the tooth enamel.

It’s essential to remember that not all of your teeth will whiten equally, and the best results come from continued maintenance. Grey and intrinsic stains and dental restorations are more difficult to whiten than yellow or brown extrinsic stains. Our practitioners will be able to examine your teeth and stains and advise the best way forward for treatment.

Types of teeth whitening

At Honest Dental, we make use of two teeth whitening methods:

Tray Whitening

The Tray Whitening system is less expensive but just as effective, with the only difference being that the results aren’t immediate. Instead, a custom-made, invisible tray is designed for your teeth, and the whitening gel is applied and then inserted into your mouth. You can wear the tray during the day or night to activate the whitening process. Results are incredible but only become visible after seven to ten days.

Tray Whitening is ideal for continued maintenance of your white smile as you only need to stock up on a new tube of gel once you’ve run out. We recommend switching to the Tray Whitening method after undergoing an in-office whitening procedure with one of our practitioners.
