Stained and discoloured teeth are no good for your smile, or your confidence. Our Enlighten teeth whitening treatment in Steyning, Sussex can restore your teeth to their natural brightness using a home kit, in-surgery treatment, or a combination of both.
About Enlighten Teeth Whitening
Our experienced dentists here at Down House Dental Practice will make you a custom mould that fits your teeth and is comfortable to wear. Enlighten teeth whitening gel will then be applied to this tray, either by your dentist in the surgery, or by you at home. This will break down the particles causing the discolouration. You will achieve a smile that’s brighter, whiter and virtually no hassle to maintain.
- Up to 16 shades lighter
- 98% success rate
- Natural looking
- Long-lasting effects
- Highly skilled, professional dentists
The custom moulds, or trays, into which you will squeeze the Enlighten teeth whitening gel, are very thin and made precisely to fit your individual set of teeth. This is done using impressions of your teeth that will be made in the surgery. As you will be wearing the moulds overnight, we want you to be as comfortable as possible. Our approach is different to that of generic home-whitening kits, which provide a one-size-fits all mould, designed for the convenience of the manufacturer rather than the convenience of the customer. Our Enlighten teeth whitening treatment in Steyning, Sussex is suited specifically to the individual, in order to achieve the very best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe?
Tooth whitening treatments, such as the one we offer at our practice, have been used safely for over 100 years. As the active ingredient in the Enlighten paste passes through the enamel of your teeth, your tooth surfaces will remain unharmed.
Are there any side-effects?
Many tooth whitening systems cause sensitivity in the teeth afterwards, but leading brand, Enlighten, prides itself on its low tooth sensitivity rate. Our dentist will give you desensitising swabs to use at home following treatment. This will further ensure that any heightened tooth sensitivity you experience is minimal.
How long will the effects last?
If you top up the treatment by using an overnight tray one night every other month, the effects should last indefinitely. No need to worry about tooth staining or the foods that cause it any longer!
How long does the treatment take?
The trays are worn overnight, every night, for 14 nights, while the in-surgery treatment takes about 40 minutes. The length of time your tooth whitening will take depends on the treatment option you choose.
How much is it?
Our Enlighten teeth whitening home system is priced competitively. The cost is from £600 for both arches.
Does Enlighten whitening damage your teeth?
As long as it is done as prescribed and instructed by our dentist, Enlighten is 100% safe.
