Tooth Whitening
Tooth whitening is a great way to freshen the appearance of your smile by permanently lightening the shade of your teeth without weakening them. |
 |
This works by bleaching the internal structure of the teeth using a specially formulated hydrogen peroxide agent, and although this may be slightly sensitive for a day or so, we can usually expect a six to eight shade improvement. The effects of this will be permanent, but as teeth naturally slowly get darker over time, so will the effects of the whitening. |

Manningtree care plans
 |
At Manningtree Dental Practice, we believe that the best way of making treatment affordable, without compromising our high quality of care, is to offer you membership of our own Manningtree Care Plan. |
The tray technique
 |
You apply a gel to the teeth for a couple hours a day for two weeks using a customised transparent shield. |
For the tray system we make a customised transparent plastic film that fits over your teeth and is removable (the ‘tray’). Inside this you place a bleaching gel and wear the trays for a couple of hours a day, and repeat this for two weeks.
During this time the teeth will become more porous and so it is not a good idea to eat or drink foods that may stain the teeth (such as tea, red wine, curries, berries).
You can use these trays after a few years if you wish to re-whiten your teeth, with some fresh gel.
