Dr. Ruxandra Jimenez Explains!

Enlighten whitening is a teeth whitening treatment that combines in-office and at-home whitening and is designed to provide patients with long-lasting, effective results.

This treatment is known for its ability to remove deep-set stains and discolouration, leaving patients with a brighter, more confident smile.

Enlighten whitening comes with a guarantee that your teeth will become a very desirable shade of white (a B1 VITA shade).

The total cost of the treatment is €700.

The price includes the initial consultation, in-clinic treatment, at-home treatment, and the final appointment.

One of the reasons Enlighten whitening is so popular is the guarantee that the patient will achieve a VITA B1 shade and will not incur any additional cost if further whitening is required to get to that shade.

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, your dentist will assess the patient's suitability for the Enlighten whitening treatment.

Your dentist will then take a mould of your teeth to ensure a secure and comfortable fit during the at-home whitening.

This step is vital to ensure the success of the treatment.

At-Home Treatment

At-Home Treatment

The at-home treatment involves wearing your custom-made whitening trays filled with your take-home gel.

Your dentist will advise you on how long and often to wear the whitening trays and how to use the teeth desensitiser.

After the home whitening is complete, you will come to the clinic for the in-office portion of the treatment.

Your dentist will apply a whitening gel to your teeth, and this process can typically lighten your teeth by several shades in just one visit and make sure you reach the VITA B1 shade.

The active ingredient in the gel is hydrogen peroxide. Compared to other whitening methods, Enlighten whitening tends to be more precise, gentle and long-lasting.

We have clinics in Dublin, Limerick and Galway.

The treatment is usually permanent, but it might require you to top up periodically.

Commonly Asked Questions

How long do you wear Enlighten trays?

The trays are to be worn for overnight, every night for two weeks - unless directed otherwise by your dentist.

We recommend wearing them at night so the wearer will be less likely to eat, drink, or talk.

The activities can dilute the whitening gel and affect the result.

It is essential to wear the trays as directed by your dentist to achieve optimal results.

Does Enlighten damage your teeth?

Enlighten whitening is gentle on teeth and does not cause damage.

The active ingredient in the gel is carbamide peroxide, which is specially formulated to be gentle on the teeth and gums.

How long does Enlighten last?

Enlighten whitening treatment is a long-lasting solution for teeth whitening.

The treatment can last for years; however, it might require an occasional top-up to maintain the results.

Can you drink coffee during Enlighten?

Yes, with Enlighten Whitening, you do not need to modify your diet or focus on non-staining foods.

But it would be best if you did not drink anything while wearing the trays.

Can I drink water with Enlighten trays in?

Drinking water while wearing the trays is inadvisable.

The liquid could dilute the whitening gel if you drink while wearing the trays.

Can you use Enlighten during the day?

Yes, you can use the trays during the day. The trays are custom-made to fit your teeth, so they should not be uncomfortable.

Because the trays are transparent, they are discrete and should not be noticeable.

However, for the best result, we recommend whitening overnight.

How long does it take for Enlighten to work?

The treatment typically takes two weeks to achieve optimal results.

The at-home treatment is designed to remove stains and whiten the teeth, and the in-office treatment can lighten teeth by several shades in just one visit.

Can you miss a day on Enlighten?

We recommend wearing the trays as the dentist directs to achieve optimal results.

Missing a day or two will not ruin the treatment, but it's best to follow the instructions to achieve the best results.

The more consistent you are with your whitening, the better your outcome will be. If you miss a day, you will have to make it up.

How often can you use Enlighten teeth whitening?

We recommended topping up the treatment occasionally to maintain the whiteness of the teeth and prevent discolouration.

After the initial whitening procedure, use should be minimal to keep your desired shade.

Can aged yellow teeth be whitened?

Yes, you can whiten aged yellow teeth with Enlighten whitening treatment.

The treatment effectively removes deep-set stains and discolouration, leaving patients with a brighter, more confident smile.

In extreme cases, it can take up to four or five weeks of home whitening.

Is Enlighten whitening better than laser teeth whitening?

Enlighten whitening is more precise, gentle, and long-lasting than laser teeth whitening.

It is best to consult with a dentist to determine the best course of treatment for your specific needs.
