Tooth Whitening Liverpool dentist

Amongst the numerous options of brands that are available as Liverpool teeth whitening systems, the most famous one featured on BrightSmile, Opalescence and extreme makeover is Zoom! When a Liverpool dentist carries out a scale or polish, he cleans the teeth and eradicates tartar and stains before he performs the actual whitening procedure.

In the following step the Liverpool dentist records the actual shade of the teeth prior to the whitening procedure for the patient to judge the difference of before and after. The Liverpool dentist may record this by either taking a photograph or by using a tooth color shade chart. A shield is then placed over the gums for protection which ensures that the bleaching compound that contains high peroxide concentrations (15-50%) compound only touches the teeth. This shield can be either made from rolls of cotton that cover the gums or a gel like substance that solidifies as it is applied to the area that needs protection.

The Liverpool dentist will also use a retractor that works to keep the lips open and cheeks away from the teeth so that the compound doesn’t touch them and the procedure can be conducted with ease. For the eyes the Liverpool dentist ensures to use protective caps or coverings to prevent any harm to the eyes caused through peroxide splashes or from the laser. Now even more comfort is offered by several cosmetic practices which offer DVD glasses so that the patient can watch a movie during the whitening procedure and enjoy the process!
