Brighten your day with a whiter smile

We all know there is no better way to a brilliant, beautiful smile than whitening your teeth – let embarrassing stained and dull teeth be a thing of the past by getting your own Celtic White Smile.

Celtic White Smile in the Parkway Shopping Centre use a revolutionary science of teeth whitening incorporating a state of the art technology that is safe, innovative, and affordable. They use an LED light system calibrated precisely to activate a patent pending whitening system designed for maximum comfort and effectiveness. The system is a simple, effective, and painless teeth-whitening process with proven results; at a fraction of the cost of other procedures.

How it works

First, the depressions of the teeth are taken using a ‘tray’ filled with a special compound.  After shaping the tray for upper and lower teeth, the whitening gel which, contains an active ingredient hydrogen peroxide and photo-Ion is applied to the trays. The tray is inserted into the mouth and left in place for 15 minutes.

During the teeth whitening process, the active ingredient in the gel, hydrogen peroxide, is broken down to water and oxygen, and oxygen enters the tooth enamel. This bleaches embedded discoloured substances (stains). The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth enamel stain is changed and becomes a lighter and whiter shade.

The chairside whitening light is engineered with the most powerful whitening LED technology, while also being more energy efficient than most halogen lamps. The reflector design around the LED’s provides maximum coverage of the teeth while the curvature of the light head offers comfortable access.

Is it safe?

Tooth whitening is the number one patient-requested cosmetic procedure in dentistry today. Since its introduction, millions of patients have undergone some form of tooth bleaching. There have been numerous studies over the years showing that hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide based tooth whitening systems are safe and effective. If today’s hydrogen peroxide based teeth whitening systems were proven unsafe in any way, the multi-billion dollar industry as we know it would not exist.

How long will the results last?

Individual results will vary depending on the consumer’s habits and their unique dental make-up, but it is safe to say that the initial results will last the average consumer up to one year. Over time, and for the very same reasons that caused the teeth to discolour in the first place, the consumer will notice their teeth darkening again. Consumers who smoke cigarettes or drink heavy quantities of dark, acidic liquids like coffee, tea, red wine, colas, etc., will have to touch up their teeth more often than people who do not.
