Teeth Whitening
Teeth can often become darker and more yellow in colour as a person ages; gradually changing over a period of time as the enamel starts to wear down and dentin (the layer below the enamel) becomes more visible. Certain foods or drinks, such as: Red wine, black coffee, carbonated drinks, blueberries and foods that are high in sugar, can all contribute to a discolouration of the teeth, as can smoking, poor dental hygiene and genetics.
Dr. Maryam McMillan is a registered dentist and is well experienced in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Teeth whitening at Ambra Aesthetic Clinic uses carbamide peroxide gel (provided only by registered dentists), for safe and long-lasting results.
A mould will need to be created, in order to produce a gel tray that will fit perfectly over your own teeth. This cover will then be filled with the peroxide gel and will need to be worn over the teeth while you are sleeping for a period of two weeks, when you will see noticeable results.
When the teeth become more yellow in colour, a person may feel their smile makes them look older than they want to appear. This can lead to feelings of self-consciousness, with a need to refrain from smiling and laughing in front of others.
Whitening the teeth can lift these impacted feelings, with an elevated confidence that they have a great smile.

The affected person may be experiencing an impact on their emotional well-being as this appearance is unwelcome.
