Teeth Whitening in Manchester – 4 Ways To Create A Great Smile

If you need Manchester teeth whitening then you’ve come to the right place. At our Church Road  Dental clinic we offer 4 great ways to enhance your smile. Utilising a combination of treatments that you can carry out in the comfort of your own home, plus a selection of ‘in clinic’ treatments, we offer some of the very best.

Whether you’re simply looking to ‘pep up’ your smile or are in need of teeth enhancement before undergoing lengthier treatments such as dental implants, Manchester-based Church Road Dental and Cosmetics have it covered. Let’s take a closer look at the treatments on offer.

Home tray whitening

One of the benefits of home tray whitening is that they come in a handy kit form that can be used in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Utilising custom made trays which are filled with a bleaching gel, the trays are worn on the teeth at night so they can get to work whitening your teeth. In the morning the trays are removed and the gel is rinsed off so you can go about your daily business. The process is repeated again the next night and again for the following 6-8 weeks. Progress checks are carried out by the dentist at the 2-3 week point, but results show that the vast majority of people end up with teeth that are significantly whiter and brighter.

Zoom power laser whitening

For those who can’t wait 6-8 weeks for significant results the Zoom power laser whitening system creates whiter teeth up to 8 shades lighter in as little as 1 hour. This form of Manchester teeth whitening is carried out ‘in clinic’ using a stronger bleaching agent. So how does it work?

In essence, a 20 minute preparation period is needed whereby the gums and lips are shielded (covered) leaving the teeth exposed. Next the bleaching agent is spread carefully over the teeth and then heat is introduced in the form of a laser lamp in order to activate the gel. This helps the gel to penetrate into the surface of the teeth and lift any stains. So that the dentist can monitor the colour changes closely, the gel is rinsed away and re-applied 3-4 times during a 1 hour period. Eventually the patient will leave with brighter, whiter teeth in just one visit!

Because teeth are porous by nature and have a propensity to re-stain, depending upon the types of food and drink that a patient chooses to consume, teeth will need regular top-up treatments. For this reason we offer patients the chance to have a one hour session of zoom laser whitening and then patients have the home whitening kit they can fall back on when they need to top up their teeth whitening. In Manchester particularly this combination is a popular treatment amongst residents.

The Enlighten System

The enlighten teen whitening system is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of teeth whitening and uses the combination of home whitening and an advanced ‘in clinic’ follow up. The results are that patients are guaranteed at least a B1 shade but in some cases they can have teeth up to 16 shades lighter. In addition the effect is longer lasting than that of any other form of teeth whitening. For this reason this course of treatment is often used before undergoing dentist Shi Karim explains how it works.

Firstly the patient uses a home kit complete with specially made trays and bleaching gel for 3-4 hours a day for 2-3 weeks. The patient is also given a special toothpaste to use to help with the whitening process and to prevent any unnecessary tooth sensitivity.  After 2-3 weeks is up the patient returns to the dentist for the ‘in clinic’ part of the treatment where a stronger gel is applied to further enhance the whitening effect. With this treatment the patient shouldn’t require any form of top up for at least 18 months. After this a few home top up sessions will keep teeth looking whiter and brighter.

So there you have it 4 great ways to achieve a brighter, whiter smile that you can be proud of.
