How does Enlighten tooth whitening work?
The Enlighten whitening gel works by allowing increased permeability of the tooth’s surface to oxygen which helps to break down present stain molecules and discolouration.
At your initial consultation appointment, your Brickfields dentist will take an impression of your teeth so that we can create your bespoke, custom-fit whitening trays. These will be used alongside the Enlighten gel syringes to complete a 2-week course of at-home treatment. You will also have a one hour in-practice session to guarantee you reach the desired shade.

Veneers and composite bonding
If you’re looking for a longer-lasting solution to a whiter smile, professionally applied veneers or composite bonding could be the perfect solution for you!

Dental veneers
Veneers are an excellent way to instantly improve aesthetic dental imperfections through a very thin, custom-made layer of material that is adhered to the surface of the tooth. Veneers can be made from dental porcelain or resin-composite materials both of which are a permanent solution to a multitude of issues including:
- Realignment of crooked teeth
- Closing unwanted gaps
- Improving tooth shape and size
- Whitening the smile
- Covering stubborn stains and discolouration
What is the difference between veneers and composite bonding?
Composite bonding
Composite bonding works to address the same dental issues as veneers however the procedure differs slightly in that, rather than a full layered covering, bonding make use of a putty-like material that is moulded and shaped directly onto the tooth.
This means that the material doesn’t need to cover the entirety of tooth and instead can be used to target smaller imperfections such as gaps and individual chipped teeth.
Conducted by the Brickfields Dental experts, veneer and composite bonding treatment will keep your smile bright for many years to come and is a great investment in your self-confidence!

FAQs
How long will my teeth stay white after treatment?
The effects can last anything from 12 weeks to 3 years, however, its longevity depends on many factors, such as if you are a coffee or wine drinker, or a heavy smoker etc.
If I suffer from gum disease, can I still have my teeth whitened?
If you suffer from tooth decay or gum disease, it is necessary for these to be treated prior to commencing any whitening procedures.
We also would not permit a pregnant or nursing mother to undergo any whitening treatments, or anyone who is under the age of 18 as the teeth will still be developing at this point.
What if I have sensitive teeth?
If you suffer from sensitivity, your dentist can provide you with desensitising swabs to take home after your whitening treatment. These will work immediately so that you don’t feel any discomfort.
Will bleaching work on my crowns, veneers or false teeth?
Unfortunately, it will not. In order to whiten dental prosthetics, we would have to gradually change them in favour of a lighter coloured version.
