Tooth whitening

[Conrad]

Hallo

I am interested in getting tooth whitening to whiten my teeth. I had professional tooth whitening done about twelve months ago and now my teeth are not as white as they were last year and a few of them could do with being a bit whiter than they are at the moment.

I would like to know, if its possible to do tooth whitening just to whiten a few teeth and not all of my teeth? Specifically I would like to whiten my lower front teeth a little bit more to make them match my top teeth a little bit better.

I have heard that tooth whitening can can be repeated every year but I am not sure I need to have professional teeth whitening all over again. Could I just have home tooth whitening on my lower front teeth?

Dear Conrad,

Thank you for your post.

Yes it is possible to do selective tooth whitening with the home whitening kit. After professional tooth whitening it is common for some teeth to be more stained than others and for the whiteness to fade after 1 year. For this reason we advise the take home bleaching kit to maintain and improve the whiteness achieved with the power whitening.

What you can do with the home whitening is apply the bleaching gel in those teeth you want to whiten further. In your case these are the lower front teeth. Once you are happy with the whiteness of all your teeth then you should do 1 night a month maintanence home whitening to prevent the whiteness fading.

You don't need to have the power whitening done all over again for whitening just your lower front teeth. Contact us for a free whitening consultation and we can take moulds same day to make some custom made trays and you can have the take home kit in less than 1 week and start whitening again.
