City of London dentists make bleaching trays for the individual needs of people with stained teeth

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

The best way to whiten your teeth and eliminate irritating stains is to apply whitening gel to your teeth using a bleaching tray. These trays can be bought for relatively little expense as part of teeth whitening kits from pharmacies, super market chains or online shops. But dentists recommend that there is a better way to get your teeth whitened than with these over the counter solutions.

Over the counter teeth whitening kits are convenient for the user because they can be carried out in one’s own time. However the drawback is that the bleaching trays are made en masse and are all the same size. This can compromise the main function of what bleaching trays are meant for: to ensure the optimum level of coverage on teeth. If the trays are not snug enough on your teeth then the bleaching might be uneven and saliva can interfere.

Dentists are able to manufacture bleaching trays especially for you and the unique shape of your mouth. These devices will be far more effective at ensuring complete coverage of the gel on your teeth. Your dentist will need to take moulds of your teeth and then he or she can make the tray according to the dimensions of your mouth.

You can then wear the tray during sleep for the advised period. The gel will cleanse the teeth of any stains and actively bleach them too. Some of the gels restore teeth to a shade known as B1 which is the most white shade possible on teeth. In some cases, City of London dentists will finish the teeth whitening treatment by exposing your teeth to a special curing light which ensures the optimum finish.

Dentists in the City of London produce incredible results with Enlighten tooth whitening treatment

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Having a set of white teeth will give a great boost to your confidence but many people have a set of teeth which are stained or just rather dull. Certain habits like smoking tobacco or drinking a high level of coffee, tea or red wine can stain teeth but, even if you refrain from these things, the passing years and the constant use of your teeth will probably make them more dull than they were in your youth. What can you do about it? One answer is to speak to your dentist about Enlighten tooth whitening.

Enlighten tooth whitening is a convenient way to whiten your teeth that still incorporates the expertise of your dentist. This is the best of both worlds because home whitening kits do provide an extra level of convenience because you are in charge of the treatment and can do it in your own time but it is good to have an expert overseeing what is happening.

Although many home teeth whitening kits are highly effective at their job, they are often not quite as effective as they could be because the trays which are filled with whitening gel and worn on the teeth are mass produced and so might not fit with a great level of exactitude on your teeth. The advantage with Enlighten tooth whitening is that the trays are made by Your City of London dentist after he or she has taken moulds of your teeth.

By filling these trays with the whitening gel and wearing them while you sleep for forty nights, you will remove the stains and attain a level of whiteness on your teeth that you probably have not experienced since your youth.

Getting a Bleaching Tray in the city of London

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

If you’ve become rather addicted to the city of London’s craze of home bleaching kits for your teeth, you may have found that the cheaper of the kits supply a ‘one size fits all’ bleaching tray, which frankly, when you pop them into the mouth, do not really fit at all. Some of the more intricate kits do supply a thermoform tray. It’s a material that you can mould yourself to the upper and lower teeth in your mouth before you start the bleaching process. The advantage here is that it will hold the bleach in a lot better. But they tend to only last a couple of sessions. So if you like to keep your teeth white by these kits and use them a lot, it is possible to have trays custom made for your mouth. Pro-White Smile trays offer a tray that is tailored to you. They send you an impression kit with a full set of instructions and then you take a mould of your mouth. Then when you send it back, the tray is manufactured in a lab. Of course, there are some treatments such as Enlighten that offer the same type of molding- tailored to your mouth, except it is your dentist that takes the impression for you before you continue the treatment at home.
