Teeth Whitening
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them lighter. It can’t make your teeth brilliant white, but it can lighten the existing colour by several shades.
Who can do teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be carried out by a dentist or another regulated dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist.
Some beauty salons offer teeth whitening, but this is illegal if there’s no dental professional present, and it may put your oral health at risk.
You can also buy DIY home teeth whitening kits but these may also carry risks.
Types of Dental Implants
- Endosteal Implants – The most common type, placed directly into the jawbone.
- Subperiosteal Implants – Placed under the gum but above the jawbone, ideal for those with limited bone mass.
- Zygomatic Implants – Used in rare cases where the jawbone is insufficient, and the implant is placed in the cheekbone.
The Dental Implant Procedure
- Consultation – The dentist evaluates your oral health and bone structure.
- Implant Placement – The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing Period – The bone fuses with the implant over a few months.
- Abutment Placement – A small connector is added to hold the artificial tooth.
- Crown Attachment – A custom-made crown is placed to complete the process.
