Professional Whitening occurs by neutralising tooth discolouration. As the professional whiteners are activated and broken down, oxygen penetrates the hard outer surface of the tooth (enamel) and removes the underlying coloured surface or stained substances. Since enamel is transparent; the natural, lighter colour of the inner tooth will then show through as the combination of special gel and intense Halogen light oxidizes the teeth to a bright white colour. This process makes the overall tooth colour closer to its natural unstained colour without damaging or changing the structure of the teeth. Years of clinical tests and the IceSmile dentist trained teeth whitening protocol have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this remarkable system.

 

Results show a good whiteness increase of up to a year. However your current and future lifestyle habits, the environment and makeup of the individual’s teeth will mean that results will vary from person to person. It is unrealistic for practices offering this type of whitening to claim whiteness lasting over 1 to 2 years. We are confident of continual high average results but we always thoroughly recommend the purchase of a home kit teeth whitening kit to use immediately after the treatment. This will tend to bring back the initial whiteness immediately when the teeth are porous and can be used to maintain the teeth for weeks after.

 

A majority of patients regularly maintain their teeth with a “top up” about every 3 – 4 months. The price of just £60 is fixed and will allow you the luxury of having continual white teeth whilst carrying on the lifestyle that you have been accustomed. Like hair styling, colouring and teeth cleaning – maintenance is key!!
