Why I like white fillings.....
..actually they are not white. They are tooth coloured fillings because teeth are not white - anything but white. A pure white filling would stand out like a sore thumb if the tooth itself is not pure white, and so for this reason a properly placed filling should be invisible and not draw attention to itself. The correct name for them is 'composite restorations' and 'glass ionomer restorations'. At Haynesdental we only place white fillings.

Deeper Whitening 'ENLIGHTEN system' £399
Deeper whitening using the Enlighten system is a combination of tray whitening and barrier whitening (see animations below) and the fee of £399 includes a 30 minute consulation before any treatment is started with the dentist.
Enlighten uses a combination of a carbamide peroxide gel at home and hydrogen peroxide gel in the surgery. The combination of these gels produces maximum whitening results in the shortest possible time. The gel is of a much higher concentration than the ones used for home bleaching but is still completely safe to use and has been shown to cause no long term damage to healthy teeth in any way.
Firstly, impressions are taken of the teeth so that custom trays can be made up - these are then given to you for use at home for 2 weeks with the proprietary bleaching gel. This 'primes' the teeth for the next stage allowing the teeth to fully 'absorb' the whitening bleach. Following your two week at home course you come into the surgery for a further 40 minute appoinment for an in-office bleaching session. ENLIGHTEN is an incredibly powerful treatment and is most suitable for people that have dark or yellow colouration of the teeth which is intrinsic to the enamel. For example, some clients who suffer from darker teeth as a result of being given tetracycln as a child have benefited greatly from this intensive treatment. The ENLIGHTEN team are so confident about their system that they guarantee a B1 result!
Chairside Power Whitening £399
A barrier is applied and then an accelaration light
Chairside power whitening eradicates years of yellowing and staining from coffee, tea, cola, cigarettes and red wine - results are instant.
At Haynesdental, we use the latest top rated whitening system. To ensure optimum whitening results, and allow you to top up yourself, we’ve included in the price custom made whitening trays and whitening gel for home use.
Firstly you will need a complimentary tooth whitening consultation to assess your suitability and answer all of your questions. If you decide to have the procedure, the whole process takes just over an hour.
Power whitening gel is painted on your teeth after a protective coating has been applied over your gums. Once the whitening gel is in place, it is further activated with a specially designed acceleration lamp. After the initial ten minute cycle, the gel is removed, and this process is repeated.
The result is noticeably brighter whiter teeth instantly!
Our chairside power whitening system contains a purer form of the active ingredient and with fewer additives holding back its chemical reactions; it penetrates the teeth to reach the stain molecules much faster.
Power whitening makes a great gift or a treat for that special occasion.
Custom Tray Whitening £270
Impressions are taken then trays are made especially for you
Impressions are taken of your teeth and then soft plastic custom trays are made of your upper and lower teeth. These trays are made available for you to take home with some proprietary whitening gel. You apply the gel yourself in the comfort of your own home and leave the trays in during the day or over-night (for a min of 2 hours) every day for two weeks. Please come in for a consultation with your dentist - the cost for tray whitening is £270.
Day Time Whitening £125
Disposable trays are bought 'off the peg' - along with some gel which is suitable for home use. You need to have the gel on for 30-60 minutes a day for 10 days - these kits are great for a quick lift in colour.
Before deciding which whitening method to use please do come and see us or mention it to your dentist or hygienist next time you are in.
