Olive Tree Dental is proud to be a recognised Enlighten Centre of Excellence.
Teeth whitening treatment breaks down the staining caused by diet, lifestyle, and a substandard oral hygiene routine.
Professional dentist-supervised Enlighten™ teeth whitening treatment is an easy route to a whiter and healthier-looking smile.
It can:
Completely transforms a yellow or dull-looking smile into a naturally flawless smile that doesn't require drastic diet changes.
Offer a safe, reliable & non-invasive method of achieving whiter teeth (compared with veneers or crowns)
Restore the confidence you lost in your smile.
Give you the boost you need to be actively social again; to feel comfortable in photos and when talking to others.
Treatment can last for years (providing you have a sensible diet & maintain a positive oral health & hygiene routine).
Our team has had extra training to handle even the most complicated cases, as such we are confident with the achievable results.
Enlighten™ is the only brand that guarantees a Vita B1 shade. This is the whitest your teeth will go without a restoration, such as a veneer or crown. Treatment includes an in-chair appointment after the at-home treatment period if you would like a ‘Hollywood’ white tooth shade.
Express Consultation
Discussion about the desired outcomes of whitening treatment and the process involved.
First Treatment Visit
If you are a new patient to Olive Tree Dental a new patient exam is carried out first to ensure you are dentally fit for the treatment. Decay, infections, or gum disease will need to be treated prior to cosmetic dental treatment such as teeth whitening.
A comprehensive assessment is then undertaken. Digital scans are taken to obtain measurements of your teeth, which will be used to create the whitening trays.
Olive Tree Dental stand out as a practice that really takes the time to listen to its patients; we feel it’s really important to get to the heart of what you’re looking for from treatment such as teeth whitening.
We will closely study your smile and the elements that make it unique to you, so that we can gain valuable insight that will allow us to successfully plan your smile design. Your treatment will never be rushed, as we will always make sure you are happy before proceeding to the next stage of the process.
Second Treatment Visit
Your whitening trays are now ready, and you can take home the whitening gel provided as part of the Enlighten™ package. The gel provided will depend on your level of tooth sensitivity. The gels are used overnight for 10-14 days, depending on the strength used and the desired result.
Third Treatment Visit (review)
We will invite you back in for a review. The whitening solution is placed into the trays, and a whitening light and accelerator is used. The teeth will be whitened in multiple 10/15-minute sessions, until the desired result is achieved, or the highest possible shade has been reached. At this point we can discuss other treatment options if you are interested in further enhancing your smile after the Whitening is complete.
Patient Promise
Enlighten™ is the only whitening treatment to guarantee a B1 shade – the whitest natural shade.
Staining foods, e.g. coffee, red wine may cause whiteness to fade.
We advise to top up whitening at home for 1 night every 2/3 months to maintain the white shade.
We will demonstrate how to apply the whitening gel to the trays before treatment begins. It’s a super easy and hassle-free process. If you’re at all unsure how to apply the gel once you get home, please don’t hesitate to contact the practice – we can point you in the direction of helpful tutorials and videos and talk you through them if you wish.
Once the gel is applied, it becomes oxidised, breaking down the staining bonds, and scattering the molecules. Once these bonds are scattered, your teeth appear whiter in shade, with a more pleasing and natural-looking shade having been revealed.
Professional teeth whitening carried out by a dentist is 100% bespoke. The whitening trays are made for your teeth, and use low concentration gel. DIY kits on the other hand, use illegal levels of peroxide gel, putting your teeth and gums at risk of untold damage.
Reputable brands such as Enlighten™ have extremely high patient satisfaction rates and are dentist-approved, making treatment safe, easy, and producing a uniform white result, as long as the gel is correctly applied (some DIY kits can leave your teeth look multiple shades of white which we absolutely want to avoid!)
Both Boutique whitening and our other choice of tooth whitening brand (Enlighten™) have different strengths of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide, so we can adjust these strengths if you begin to experience sensitivity during your treatment. Both of our teeth whitening brands encompass after-care toothpaste, which can help to keep sensitivity minimal.
If you are someone who suffers from sensitivity on a regular basis, Enlighten™ is the most suitable treatment.
Enlighten manufacturers have ethical concerns, when it comes to testing their products on Pregnant Women and as there are no tests or research to confirm either way, they do not recommend Whitening for Pregnant mothers, or mothers who have chosen to breastfeed their children. You can have a new patient exam and get the Whitening trays tailor made, ready for after the birth of your child & breastfeeding has been stopped.
We have tried lots of different whitening products, but have been really impressed with the reliability and simplicity of Enlighten and many patients have already been delighted with their flawless new smiles that don’t require a diet change. It is one the leading Whitening products on the market to deliver a safe and reliable way of whitening your teeth.
That doesn’t mean that there are no other excellent products on the market, we only offer whitening products that we believe can be delivered safely and achieve excellent results. Equally we want to cater for different patients needs.
We can offer patients top up syringes, absolutely and we recommend this to maintain your desired shade. However, we would need confirmation from the practice that administered the treatment, that you are dentally fit for treatment.
We would also need to be advised the strength of the top up syringe that is advisable, in addition to X-Rays being provided (that have been taken within a 6-month period).
If this cannot be provided a new patient exam will need to be completed in practice at Olive Tree Dental prior to being able to sell top-up syringes to ensure you are dentally fit for this treatment, the cost of this is £79 in addition to the cost of the top-up Whitening syringes.
Yes we are proud to be a recognised Centre of Excellence. Our team has had extra training, to handle even the most complicated cases, as such we are confident that the results we can provide our patients are guaranteed and natural looking.
We were so pleased as a team to acquire the VITA B1 shade guarantee with Enlighten certification and to have received, in-depth training about one of the leading Whitening products in the market to deliver a safe and reliable way of whitening your teeth.
Our in-house training was conducted by the renowned Dr. Payman Langroudi himself.
