Everyone wants to have whiter teeth. In the past, such a procedure seemed like a luxury only available to the wealthy. Thankfully now the opportunities for achieving this goal are accessible to a much greater portion of the population and tooth whitening is becoming more and more popular in the UK. As more people look for affordable opportunities to improve the quality of their smile, there are a greater range of available products, new brands appearing and more dentists with the technology to deliver different treatments and solutions.
Enlighten tooth whitening is one of the most popular procedures used by people from Bath and nearby areas. The at-home whitening kit takes around four weeks and has a full range of strengths to match your needs. The variability of the treatment is one of its key advantages. Enlighten Evolution can whiten your teeth by up to ten shades, depending of course on how stained your teeth are.
You can also get a kit which is done partly at home and partly in a dentists’ surgery. In this version, the latter part of the treatment is done at a higher strength by a dentist to speed up the process. Of course, the complete treatment programme can also be done by a dentist. This will cost a little more but be completed in 60 minutes. At Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol we are often asked to carry out this treatment.
In each type of kit, the same products and technology are used, the strength being the only variable. The process is also broadly the same, whether you use a home kit or add in a dental appointment. Sensitivity can be a side-effect of tooth whitening but the process will not damage the enamel of your teeth or harm your gums. Why not give it a try?
