With our exceptional service and first class care at an affordable price, here at Sea Smile International Dental Clinic, you will have plenty of reasons to smile. Our “Truly” whitening represents a leap in technology which has elevated the standard for Cosmetic Dentistry.  There was a time when we had to live with a discolored smile, but with recent advances in teeth whitening, obtaining a dazzling smile has never been easier.  A short visit to our clinic in Phuket while on vacation is all that it takes to have that “truly” whiter and confident smile.

 

TYPES AND CAUSES OF DISCOLORATION:

     Teeth can become discolored by the surface of the teeth having stains or by the tooth material naturally changing.  Teeth discoloration maybe intrinsic or extrinsic.  It is Extrinsic discoloration if the enamel or outer layer of the tooth  becomes stained or discolored which can be brought about by drinking coffee, wine, cola, or other food and beverages. Smoking is also one of the leading causes of teeth discoloration.  Intrinsic discoloration on the other hand happens when the dentin or the inner structure of the tooth gets a yellow tint or darkens, often caused by too much fluoride taken as a kid, tetracycline stains or antibiotics taken by mothers during pregnancy, and tooth trauma, dental works, and againg.

 

LASER WHITENING VS. OTHER WHITENING TREATMENTS
     Everybody wants to have a good impression or want to look good in whatever they do, whether it’s a job interview, a date, or simply just having conversation with someone. Often, stained or discolored teeth affect our confidence and may give a wrong impression. These days, whitening can be had in as short as less than an hour. This is one of the primary advantages of Laser Teeth Whitening - a quick and easy way to a whiter and brighter smile. Another advantage of Laser Whitening is the precise use of energy synchronized with the proprietary gel which increases efficiency causing less treatment time, increases effectiveness, and eliminates heating of teeth beyond what’s necessary.  Ordinary non-laser whitening system requires longer treatment periods and high energy output because of their inefficiencies.  Of the Polychromatic light energy emitted by non-laser devices, just a tiny percentage is being used and the rest are wasted as heat and light that the teeth absorb resulting in intra-operative and post-operative sensitivity.

 

POST - CARE INSTRUCTION:

• Minor sensitivity may be experienced which usually disappears within 24 hours after treatment.  Too hot or too cold beverages and food should be avoided within this period. Try to stay from acidic foods like oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, and foods containing them;
• If you want your white teeth to last, “touch up” program by either laser whitening or home bleaching can be done once a year;
• Regular Check-ups and cleanings will help maintain your  new smile, as well as keeping your teeth and gums healthy;
• Brush at least twice daily and floss regularly;  Brushing and Flossing reduces plaque and tartar buildup and keep stains to a minimum;
• Keep healthy oral habits. Tobacco and smoking are major causes of staining;
