The most common cause of this are\nthings in your diet that can stain the enamel layer such as coffee, and wine\nand smoking tobacco products like cigarettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To counter this\nyour dentist can provide sessions of <strong>teeth whitening in\nStevenage<\/strong> to slowly reduce this discolouration and allow your\nnatural tooth shade to shine through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How your teeth are restored<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of\nwhitening your teeth is fairly straightforward and tends to involve one of two\ndifferent techniques used for the treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first option\nyou may encounter involves taking a mould of your teeth to create a custom\nfitted tray that will then be combined with a bleaching gel, to be applied to\nthe surfaces of your teeth. Then over a series of whitening sessions our team\nwill slowly reduce and remove any staining build-up that\u2019s causing your smile\nto be discoloured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other type of\ntechnique that may be used is referred to as \u2018power whitening\u2019. In this\nprocedure your dental team will cover the surface of your teeth with a powder,\nthis is then exposed to a light that will cause a whitening reaction that\nshould slowly alter the shade of your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Smilecraft\nDental Care<\/strong> our highly trained team of professionals will help restore\nthose pearly whites to give you back that confident smile you thought lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is whitening at the practice the only option?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dental\ntreatments will need to be performed at the practice, as they require specific\ntools and training that you wouldn\u2019t be able to manage at home by yourself.\nHowever, that doesn\u2019t apply to whitening, as there are custom created kits with\ndetailed instructions on how to perform the treatment yourself at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is ideal for\npatients that may not be able to fit visits to the practice into their\nschedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is the whitening safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitening treatments and the provision of kits is strictly controlled and you should always follow any and all advice provided to you by your dental team. For users of home bleaching kits it\u2019s generally recommended that a minimal amount of the bleaching gel is used, as excessive use or spilling of the product onto your gums from overspill can lead to irritation and blistering of the surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully this has helped to clear up a few things about the whitening process. If you would like to restore that lost shine from your smile or to learn more about the treatment and how it could benefit you then just have a chat with your dentist on your next visit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it may seem like a Hollywood fad, having your teeth touched-up cosmetically is pretty commonplace for ordinary dental practices.
