Common cosmetic concerns

One of the most rapidly expanding areas of dentistry that we offer to patients here at Sohal Dental Practice is what is classified as ‘cosmetic’ dental solutions. This is the blanket term given to a great many different procedures, all of which aim to solve a common superficial concern which patients commonly have. An example of a common cosmetic concern for which treatment is frequently provided here at Sohal Dental Practice is having teeth that are stained and discoloured.

As we age, the natural enamel of our teeth often becomes greyer in colour and this can have a negative impact on many patient’s self-esteem. Other factors and lifestyle decisions, such as smoking or drinking high quantities of staining drinks such as red wines or black coffees can also speed up this discolouration as well as leave visible marks and stains on the surface enamel. However, we are a dentist in Birmingham who offers our patients teeth whitening treatment which can be carried out from their own home and aims to give them a brighter-looking, healthier smile.

What does the process involve?

You may be aware of the vast amount of over-the-counter home whitening kits which have become increasingly popular, as well as cheaper online alternatives. The primary drawback of these remedies is that – besides their potential to contain hazardous, unsafe chemicals – they are not made to fit one person’s teeth specifically, but rather a one-size-fits-all. As such, the likelihood of the treatment leaving strips of unbleached enamel increases. However, by undergoing home-whitening treatment through a kit which has been attained from a dentist – such as us here at Sohal Dental Practice – each whitening tray is custom built to fit perfectly over each patient’s teeth, and as such will give them a more even shade.

The initial stage of the Enlighten Smiles whitening process consists of a visit to the practice to have a unique dental tray made of your tooth shape. You are then given this tray to take home, as well as an Enlighten whitening kit which contains a safe amount of a peroxide-based bleaching agent. The patient then applies a thin, even layer of this gel to the interior of their retainer before wearing it periodically over the course of two or so weeks. During that time, the patient can watch as their smile visibly brightens, shade by shade until it is the colour they desire and their self-confidence is renewed.
