Tooth whitening is the process of removing stains and discolouration from teeth and improving their colour through a bleaching process to make them look "whiter". For heavily stained teeth, a procedure as simple as a scale and polish from a dental hygienist can significantly improve their appearance, so the teeth look whiter and healthier.

Most cosmetic dental practices offer a combination of immediate teeth whitening and professional take-home tooth-whitening kits with custom-made trays. Both procedures are based on a bleaching process that uses a peroxide-based compound of varying strength.

Special protection during whitening
Your dentist at Sunrise Dental Clinic takes special care to isolates your gums and lips with a protective material in order to avoid any potential damage or burning of your soft tissue. Home whitening kits usually have a lower concentration of peroxide.

Home teeth-whitening kits
Take-home whitening kits provide more permanent results over a longer time scale, whereas zoom whitening offers immediate results. A combination of the two provides a better solution to both immediate and long-term whitening needs.

Zoom Whitening
Zoom teeth whitening is the fastest and most efficient way to whiten your teeth. Our teeth are made of a porous material, which will naturally stain over the course of the years and will suffer from some level of discoloration depending on your eating,/ drinking habits, as well as age and teeth quality. Coloured food and drinks such as Red wine, cranberry juices, cherries, and especially coffee or tea playi a major role in teeth staining. Smoking cigarettes will permanently stain the teeth into an ugly yellow, greyish shade. Extensive medication such as some antibiotics will also cause teeth discoloration. Having a blemished, tainted, dull smile is no reason to feel self conscious; it can be quickly fixed by asking your dentist at Sunrise Dental Clinic about zoom teeth whitening procedure.

Scientific research has proved that the Zoom teeth whitening technique performed by dentists is actually safe and very effective. The zoom whitening gel and special light does not affect the quality of teeth or their hardness. Discuss the potential of zoom whitening procedure on your teeth with your dentist at Sunrise Dental Clinic, and have your teeth look whiter, healthier and beautiful.
