Teeth Whitening

After

Before

At SnapeHill Dental Studio, we offer teeth whitening to our patients looking for both a cosmetic and confidence boost.

Teeth whitening has become an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment in dentistry and offers patients a way to help transform their smile without too much intervention. Our teeth can become discoloured for a number of reasons. The ageing process itself contributes to discolouration, as do lifestyle choices such as diet, drinking, and smoking.

Advances and innovations in teeth whitening mean that it now offers most patients a clear route forward in whitening and brightening their smiles. While it will work differently and produce different results in each patient, almost all our patients who whiten their teeth feel happier and more confident about it.

To offer our patients the great possible experience and a brilliantly white smile we have partnered with both Enlighten® Evolution and Philips Zoom!.

Enlighten Evolution

At SnapeHill Dental Studio, we’ve partnered with Enlighten® Evolution to help our patients achieve the brighter, whiter, happier smiles they deserve.

Enlighten® Evolution offer patients an at-home and combination teeth whitening treatment that really works. With years of experience, and plenty of happy customers, we’re proud to be working with these teeth whitening professionals.

Using specialised teeth whitening gel formulas that are designed to be worn either during the day or overnight, Enlighten® Evolution can help deliver a whiter smile in just two weeks. You’ll be fitted for your bespoke whitening trays here at the practice, and there’ll be a short wait while the trays are made uniquely for you. After having them fitted here to check for comfort and functionality, you’ll wear them at home with your chosen formula.

Once your two weeks are up, you can return to the practice for an in-chair treatment that’s designed to help produce the great results possible. This appointment usually lasts just 40-60 minutes, and can help leave the teeth looking up to 16 shades brighter. While final results do vary from patient to patient, patients who whiten their teeth with Enlighten® Evolution are usually very happy with the results. Our dental professionals will also be able to advise you on how good to maintain your brighter smile.

ICON White Spot Treatment

ICON White Spot Treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that can make a world of difference for some patients by helping to remove white spots.

White spots on the tooth enamel can be caused by a variety of things, including fluorosis, trauma to the tooth, or simple genetics. They can also be an early indicator of decay. For our patients with these white spots, we often recommend ICON White Spot Treatment.

Using a tooth-coloured resin, ICON White Spot Treatment can infiltrate the tooth where white spots are located through the application of a special gel that prompts the pores to open. This then allows a deeper level of penetration for the resin which is then cured by a special light. The resin – which has infiltrated the white spot – can then mimic the appearance of the healthy enamel that surrounds it, thereby diminishing the appearance of the white spot.

The resin also works to help protect the tooth from further decay by blocking acids that often have the effect of wearing away at the tooth enamel. Overall, ICON White Spot Treatment can help teeth appear more uniform, creating a more even, aesthetically satisfying smile.

As a minimally invasive treatment, there is no drilling involved with ICON White Spot Treatment and it can often be carried out over just one appointment with excellent results that patients love.

Philips Zoom! At Home

Philips Zoom! is one of the most popular at-home teeth whitening treatments, and we’re proud to offer their products to our patients here at SnapeHill.

With over 20 years of experience in researching and developing teeth whitening treatments, the pioneers at Philips have been working hard to find a way to whiten teeth at home. Having perfected their in-chair treatments, Philips now offer their knowledge for patients to use at home, and people are loving the results.

This safe and highly effective treatment uses the latest technology and teeth whitening innovations to help produce whiter teeth in just two weeks. After your initial consultation with us here at SnapeHill Dental Studio and Implant Centre, we’ll take a mould of your mouth so that your whitening trays can be made just for you. Once these bespoke trays have been made, you can choose between two gel options.

With DayWhite, you only have to wear the trays and gel for 30-90 minutes a day to start seeing results in two weeks. If you’d prefer not to wear trays during the day however, you can choose their NiteWhite gel formula. This formula is designed to work overnight and like DayWhite also produces results within two weeks.
