TEETH WHITENING

Marsh Dental Care is proud to be a BriteSmile Approved Whitening Centre. Marsh Dental Care has been offering this Premier teeth whitening service for over five years.

What is BriteSmile?
BriteSmile provides state of the art tooth whitening treatment in one hour. The treatment involves the application of a gel to your teeth and it's activation by a special blue light. Clinical tests have shown the treatment to be both effective and safe. Improvements of up to 8 shades can be achieved with darker teeth showing the biggest improvements.

Does it hurt?
Studies have shown that the treatment in no way damages the structure of your teeth. A small percentage of people can experience some sensitivity for a short time which then resolves. Treatment can be expected to last up to 2 years assuming good oral hygiene and reasonable exposure to staining drinks and foodstuffs. For more information visit the BriteSmile website.

Tray Whitening		Barrier Whitening
A custom made mouth tray is created. A whitening gel is placed in the tray which you then wear whist asleep or for short periods during the day. Results are normally seen over 2 weeks.		A protective barrier is applied and hardened using a bright light. The whitening gel is then applied and activated using a bright light.

What does the treatment involve?
A pre treatment assessment is carried out to ensure your mouth is healthy. We also can advise you what change in shade can be expected in your particular case. The treatment involves the application of a gel to your teeth and it's activation by a special light. The gel is applied three times and the whitening process takes around an hour. Digital photographs of your teeth are taken before and after treatment for you. DVD television goggles are available to provide entertainment whilst the treatment is carried out. Alternatively you can listen to music.

Does it work on caps, veneers or bonds?
The BriteSmile professional teeth whitening treatment has been successful at removing stains from caps, veneers or bonded teeth. However, a whitening procedure in general cannot change the colour of the caps, veneers or bonds. We recommend that you discuss your situation with the dentist to determine what you can expect.
