Teeth Whitening

Put simply, If you imagine the clear enamel of a tooth is a ‘window’ through which we see the Ivory/White dentin through, cosmetic teeth whitening cleans the stained window so that the natural ivory/white colour of the dentin is revealed.

Before whitening, it is like looking at a nice view through a dirty window...

So it is a bit like WINDOW CLEANING!

For the more TECHNICALLY minded… Teeth come in many colours; Some have a yellowish tone, some orange, some brown, and some grey. The natural tooth colour that you see through the clear enamel is called the dentin. Dentin is the calcified tooth 'bone' just below the enamel and is what gives the tooth its natural white/ivory colour. The outside of your teeth; the enamel, appears to the naked eye to be clear and glass-like. 

However, enamel is porous. Through natural expansion and contraction of hot and cold substances stains get trapped so deeply embedded within the porous enamel they can never be brushed clean. 

To whiten teeth, a special oxygen-action type whitening gel is applied to the surface of the teeth to be whitened.

This whitening gel photo-excites when activated with the aid of the powerful Whitening Accelerator Light and migrates quickly throughout the microscopic pores of the porous enamel due to the vibrations from the Ultrasonic technology Therefore, the gel surrounds staining particles quickly and more effectively, bleaching out stains so that the natural pearly white colour of the dentin can be revealed.
