A number of the latest tooth whitening methods are used in our implant centres.

Traditionally, one needed to wear a plastic tray that had been prepared to fit your teeth and also made use of a special gel (based on hydrogen peroxide) to bleach your teeth. You had to place the gel-filled tray into your mouth, keeping it there overnight, and for several days, depending on the state of discolouration.

With the new system (BriteSmile - which has also been used by Catherine Zeta Jones, Julia Roberts and other famous Hollywood stars) one is able to obtain the same result at the clinic with an absolutely painless, relaxing treatment - visiting us just once, for a maximum of two hours.

After a photo has been taken of the present colour of your teeth, the gum and lips are covered with a special protective layer. The special, gentle whitening gel (carbamide peroxide) placed on your teeth will be activated by the "blue spectrum" light of a special device, which enables the rapid, safe and effective treatment procedure to occur within one to two hours. Finally, another photo will be taken to show the effect of the bleaching on your teeth.

Advantages of the new bleaching method:

• Takes only one or two hours, and you need to go to your dentist just once.
• Use of the "blue spectrum" light is the most effective means of treatment here.
• You do not need to use a plastic tray at home for a longer time period.
• This method is painless, and does not damage dental enamel.
• The result lasts for a long time - a minimum of 3 years with proper care and trying to avoid tooth-discolouring foods.

All types of bleaching method should be preceded by plaque removal, polishing and professional tooth cleaning.
