Teeth Whitening Cape Town Basics

Teeth Whitening Cape Town has become extremely popular over the past few years but most people have no idea how to choose the right product for their needs. Currently, there are hundreds products and techniques on the market that make the claim that they are the best teeth whiteners and can whiten your teeth in the shortest time. Many have tried these products and the reviews range the gambit of great to utterly disappointing.

How Does Teeth Whitening Cape Town  Work?

The confusion usually stems because there is no universal understanding of how teeth whitening Cape Town works. Less than five percent of South Africans have even used a teeth whitener product and even less of them have used professional teeth whitening services offered by cosmetic dentists.

Most teeth whiteners come in two types: whitening and bleaching

Whitening is when there is an attempt to naturally restore the teeth’s surface colour. This is done by removing deep down dirt and other debris embedded in the teeth. Any basic toothpaste can make the claims of being a teeth whitener by this definition alone.

Teeth Whitening Cape Town – Bleaching

Bleaching, on the other hand, is a technique approved by the American Food and Drug Administration to get teeth beyond their natural whiteness and involves using a bleaching agent like hydrogen peroxide. 

This complexity is best left in the hands of qualified dentists (see list on the right) who offer teeth whitening Cape Town.
