There are essentially 4 steps for the process to achieve the Enlighten teeth whitening results that you want. The steps go as follows:
– Step 1: After your initial consultation and we have checked your teeth and gums and are confident your teeth are dentally fit for whitening. The first step of your treatment is for your dentist to take impressions of your teeth in order to make the custom moulds for your mouth.
They’ll be created just for you in the Enlighten laboratory which can take a couple of weeks to create. Once they’re available you can collect them from the practice where we will also guide you on how to use your home treatment kit and answer any questions you may have at this point.
– Step 2: The home whitening kit will require you to fill your moulds with the provided Enlighten whitening gel. These are to be worn overnight for two weeks but after the first week, you’ll expect to switch to the stronger gel to provide the top whitening results. If you feel some form of sensitivity, the Enlighten kit also comes with anti-sensitivity gel.
– Step 3: Once you’ve completed your home kit course, we will advise you to book in for a visit back to the practice for a whitening session performed by your dentist.
– Step 4: You’ll be left to wear the trays for one night every other month.

Once your desired brightness level is achieved, you likely won’t need to touch-up your smile for at least a year or even longer. This really comes down to your oral care and lifestyle habits. For example, if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee or wine, you may only want to wait six months or so before touching up.
During your normal six-month checkups and cleaning with your dentist, feel free to ask them how your teeth are looking. They can tell you if it’s time for another whitening session.
If you have existing dental problems, like tooth decay, you should take care of these problems before you whiten your teeth. Whitening products are very strong, and if the gel product gets into a cavity, it can seriously damage the tooth as well as lead to a nasty toothache.
No – the entire whitening process is incredibly safe and poses no risk of damage to your teeth at all. This only applies to bleach given by a dentist. There are some nasty chemicals being used by others and these can cause significant damage to your teeth.
