How Teeth Whitening Works
When it comes to teeth whitening, your teeth have two basic elements.

The two basic elements.
- The Dentin is the actual ‘tooth-bone’ that gives your teeth their natural white-ivory colour
- The Enamel is a clear, ‘glass-like’ protein layer’ that ‘clothes’ the tooth Dentin.
Enamel can be likened to a glass window that we look through to see the natural white-ivory colour of our tooth Dentin below the enamel.
Whenever the Enamel ‘window’ is stained, it veils the natural white-ivory colour of your teeth, and your teeth appear yellow or darker than they naturally would. No amount of surface brushing can remove such staining.
Cosmetic Teeth Whitening safely cleans the enamel ‘window’ by whitening the stains locked deeply within, instantly revealing the natural whiteness of your teeth.
Whitening occurs as oxygen molecules from the teeth whitening gel spreads throughout the tooth enamel bleaching the discolored molecules in your teeth.
This results in a ‘glass-clear’ Enamel ‘window’ revealing the natural whiteness of your Dentin below.

Light Activated:
The gel becomes ‘photo-excited’ by the radiance emitted by our powerful professional whitening accelerator devices delivering tailored light 480-520 nanometres in wavelength at a luminance of up to 300,000lx. (The Sun emits 120,000lx at noon on a sunny day)
Ultrasonic Technology:
Ultrasonic technology provides superior whitening results in a shorter treatment time. Safer too because it uses 60% less whitening gel.
