Over time, your teeth can stain due to age and general wearing down of the enamel, due to eating and drinking foods such as curries, red wine, coffee as well as smoking. However, Seapoint's acclaimed Deep Whitening can get your teeth shining with immediate results! Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, our teeth whitening is completely safe, won't damage teeth and you won't feel any discomfort. Instead, you'll be able to relax in our whitening suite as our experts take care of you, meaning you leave with a smile you'll want to show off! So, how does it all work?

We do recommend seeing a dentist and hygienist within the past 3 months in order to get the best possible results. It also ensures there aren't any underlying issues such as cracked teeth or chipping that might impact the effects of teeth whitening. Our light-activated teeth whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching coloured substances while the structure of the teeth is unchanged. The Teeth Whitening light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the teeth.

How long your whitening results will last depends entirely on any habits you may have such as smoking, drinking red wine or eating staining foods. The less of these you consume, the longer the effects will last. Generally, you can expect 1-3 years. If you do smoke, we would recommend getting home whitening trays for top-ups when needed. Regular hygiene appointments can also help maintain your brightness.
