With modern foods being either highly acidic or high\nin sugar, it comes as no surprise to dentists when patients tell us about\nstains or dulling of their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Enlighten<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Teeth change colour with age and with lifestyle habits\nlike smoking, drinking red wine and excess amounts of coffee, teeth can very\nquickly appear yellow or even grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, there is a simple solution that doesn\u2019t\ninvolve heavy handed brushing. Dental surgeries across the UK offer cleaning\nservices as part of a check-up and can offer tooth whitening services too, to\nkeep your teeth gleaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What types of dental whitening may be offered?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you visit your dentist for dental whitening, they\nwill discuss with you which type of dental whitening is best suited to your\nteeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enlighten\nteeth whitening in Stevenage<\/a> is a common method used at our Smilecraft\nsurgery and comes with several advantages over whitening services that involve\nregular trips to the dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Enlighten?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enlighten teeth whitening<\/strong> in Stevenage<\/strong> is a streamlined, effective\nwhitening process that can be completed both at home and at your local dentist,\ncausing minimal disruption to your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a combination treatment; 2 weeks of home-based\ntreatment and then a 1-hour trip to your dentist for the final procedure-\nthat\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, Enlighten is a clear, plastic, customised\ntray that fits over your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Enlighten work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an Enlighten tray is customised to fit your teeth,\nit is designed to be removable, but secure when it is in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you undertake this treatment, your dentist will\nprovide you with a gel to place into your customised tray, that can then be\nworn overnight for two weeks. These trays are not bulky or thick, so they are\nextremely comfortable to sleep in and will not come loose in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The active ingredient in the gel passes through your\nenamel and into your tooth, breaking down any stubborn or set stains in the\nprocess through chemical oxidation. This procedure is not painful but does take\nsome time to complete, so you must follow any directions given by your dentist\nto fully benefit from this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the last day of treatment, you will be called back\nto your dentist to undergo the final stage of the process. This involves a\nforty minute to one-hour deep bleaching, to really whiten your teeth and leave\nyou with a gleaming smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Enlighten<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One advantage of this treatment is that it can lighten\nyour teeth up to 16 shades, meaning that people with the deepest set stains\nwill benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome is predictable and even, reversing the\nvisible effects of dental ageing and creating a mouth full of teeth that are\nthe same shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enlighten is a market leader in tooth whitening and is\nheralded by patients and dentists as being extremely quick and safe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
