Teeth whitening

Tooth whitening, or bleaching, can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. At Addison Place we use two gentle home whitening systems.

The benefits of home teeth whitening

No need for lights, gum protection or dehydration whitening

Effective
Enjoy a brighter smile that lasts. Your treatment would ideally be repeated at least once every six months for continued results. However, if your teeth are badly stained, you may need to repeat the treatment more often.

Safe
You can whiten your teeth yourself without damaging your enamel and gums with your dentist direction. At-home whitening treatments also come with simple instructions to ensure your safety.

Affordable
A brighter smile can be relatively compared to veneers or crowns. Our professional home teeth whitening treatment fees are available on our fees tab.

Adaptable
You can choose when and how often to have your whitening treatment. You now even have the option of night-time whitening trays in your teeth whitening routine.

Benefits of Enlighten Whitening

Works best for darker and more stained teeth.

Noticeable results in just two weeks after the beginning of treatment.

Again, no need for lights, gum protection or dehydration whitening.

Custom-made Enlighten whitening trays are used for the best results (e.g. larger reservoir provided for darker teeth).

Includes anti-sensitivity serum to reduce sensitivity.

Long-lasting effects with the help of touch-ups

• The Procedure

  This involves two appointments, the first usually combined with your
  exam or consultation about teeth whitening.

• Step 1.

  You will have digital impressions of your teeth with an intra-oral scanner. Your custom-made trays are crafted from these digital scans of your teeth. The trays hold a whitening gel and fit precisely over your teeth, allowing you to use them safely at home. You will be given a desensitising toothpaste to use until your custom trays are ready.

• Step 2.

  You receive the complete Enlighten whitening system to use at home, which includes another teeth whitening toothpaste and desensitising gels. You wear the trays with the bleaching gel on your teeth overnight for a total of fourteen consecutive nights, followed by 7 days of one hour daytime use.

Feel free to ask any questions about whether teeth whitening is the right choice for you at your next appointment with either your dentist or hygienist.
