Enlighten is a professional teeth whitening system designed to brighten your smile safely under the care of a dentist. It uses custom-made whitening trays and professional whitening gels to gradually whiten your teeth over around three weeks, helping you achieve a noticeably brighter and more even smile.
Your dentist will first check your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is suitable for you. We then take a digital scan or moulds of your teeth so your bespoke whitening trays can be made to fit accurately and hold the gel evenly. Once your trays are ready, you will collect your Enlighten kit and receive clear instructions on how to use it at home.
Most patients wear the trays overnight for around 14 nights, followed by a final whitening stage in the third week using the final Enlighten gel for short daily wear. To help maintain your results, your dentist may recommend Enlighten toothpaste and occasional top-up whitening, usually one night every 4 to 8 weeks.
As compared to others, the enlighten teeth whitening system is preferable. There are so many advantages attached to this system. Here at Smile Works Dental, our dentists advise people who need better results to make use of this process.
Here are some of the reasons why;
Here at Harley Street London, our dentists at Smile Works Dental follow a proven procedure when using the Enlighten teeth whitening process. Here is a progressive arrangement of how we carry out this process:
After checking that whitening is suitable for you, we take a digital scan or moulds of your teeth. These are sent to the laboratory, where your custom whitening trays are made to fit your teeth accurately. While your trays are being prepared, your dentist may give you a special toothpaste to help prepare your teeth and reduce sensitivity.
This toothpaste contains hydroxyapatite (HAP) which is exactly what your teeth need for protection and reduced sensitivity for the forthcoming process. We would advise you to use the toothpaste twice daily for its maximum function.
Once your trays are ready, you collect your Enlighten kit, including your trays, whitening gels and full instructions. You then wear the trays at home with the night-time whitening gel for around 14 nights.
In the third week, you complete the treatment using the final Enlighten gel for short daily wear. This helps even out the colour and enhance your final result. Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity, and your dentist will recommend the best toothpaste to help keep this to a minimum.
When carried out under the care of a dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and well-established treatment. Some patients may notice mild, temporary sensitivity afterwards, which usually settles on its own and can be eased with a sensitivity toothpaste recommended by your dentist.
