It is commonly known how important it is to visit the dentist in East Belfast regularly. And, when you think about the dentist it is likely that the first thing to come to mind is dental hygiene. This is for a very good reason because, generally, we grow up hearing a lot about it. Whether we have heard about it from parents and carers, doctors, dentists or even in school most people can say that they have been encouraged by someone to brush their teeth, twice a day, for two minutes.
Having read the above, you may be interested to learn that some people go to the dentist for aesthetic reasons. These might include filling gaps where teeth are missing or closing gaps where teeth are widely spaced. It could be that crowded or crooked teeth have caused someone to look into their options for straightening their teeth. However, the most common thing we hear people say they would change about their teeth is that they would like them to be whiter.
What can help me achieve whiter teeth?
So, perhaps you resonate with the idea that you would like to whiten your teeth, but you don’t know where to begin. Maybe you are considering heading to the supermarket to purchase some whitening toothpaste and hoping that will do the trick. Well, here at Sandown Dental we offer Enlighten tooth whitening treatment. So, if you are looking to brighten up your smile, Enlighten could be the option for you. Of course, to establish whether this is the case it is important to discuss this with our dentist in East Belfast who would be able to advise you as to whether to pursue this avenue to whiter teeth.
What is Enlighten teeth whitening?
Enlighten tooth whitening is widely recognised as a very successful treatment when it comes to teeth whitening. In the Vita shade guide B1 is the lightest natural tooth shade, and this is what the Enlighten system aims to achieve. Not only that, but in using this system it may not be necessary to change your lifestyle or diet in order to maintain these whitening results. Enlighten has been created in a way which is mindful of those with sensitive teeth, opening up teeth whitening to patients who wish to minimise the risk of pain or added sensitivity.
What can I expect this process to look like?
It is important to begin by booking your initial consultation, at which our dentist in East Belfast will introduce you to the Enlighten process. A scan of your teeth will be taken in order to create your whitening trays. While you are awaiting the arrival of your trays and home kit, start brushing with the tooth serum to help minimise sensitivity. When they are ready, collect your home kit and custom-made trays and begin the two week treatment course at home. Finally, schedule your 40 minute boost at the dental practice and then you are free to enjoy your whiter smile.
