Developed through years of research and clinical testing, Enlighten has earned its reputation as the gold standard for patients who demand exceptional results, including those with the most challenging staining cases.
The Enlighten Difference
Enlighten Whitening stands apart from all other whitening systems through its unique combination approach that maximises both safety and effectiveness. Unlike traditional whitening methods that rely on a single treatment modality, Enlighten uses a carefully orchestrated sequence of home and professional treatments to achieve unprecedented results.
The system was specifically developed to address the limitations of conventional whitening methods, particularly their inability to treat severe staining and their tendency to cause significant sensitivity. Through innovative chemistry and delivery methods, Enlighten overcomes these challenges whilst achieving results that were previously impossible.
What makes Enlighten truly revolutionary is its guarantee. No other whitening system in the world offers a guarantee to reach the B1 shade because no other system has the clinical data and proven track record to support such a claim. This confidence stems from extensive research and thousands of successful treatments worldwide.
Revolutionary Whitening Science
Dual-Phase Treatment Protocol
Enlighten's effectiveness comes from its sophisticated two-phase approach that combines the deep penetrating power of home whitening with the intensity of professional treatment. The home phase uses a specially formulated gel that works gradually over several weeks to prepare teeth for the final professional treatment.
This dual approach allows for deeper whitening than either method could achieve alone, whilst the gradual home preparation phase significantly reduces sensitivity during the more intensive professional phase.
The sequenced treatment protocol ensures that whitening agents penetrate thoroughly into tooth structure, addressing both surface stains and deep intrinsic discolouration that other systems often cannot reach.
Advanced Whitening Chemistry
The Enlighten system uses proprietary whitening chemistry that has been specifically developed to maximise effectiveness whilst minimising side effects. The formulations include specialised stabilisers that maintain gel potency and desensitising agents that protect tooth nerves during treatment.
The home whitening gel uses a unique carbamide peroxide formulation that releases whitening agents slowly and consistently over extended periods, ensuring thorough penetration without the sharp concentration spikes that can cause sensitivity.
The professional component uses high-concentration hydrogen peroxide with specialised activators that enhance whitening efficiency whilst maintaining tooth safety through careful pH control and buffering systems.
Breakthrough Desensitisation Technology
One of Enlighten's most significant innovations is its integrated desensitisation protocol that virtually eliminates the sensitivity traditionally associated with intensive whitening treatments. The system includes specialised agents that seal dentinal tubules and protect nerve endings throughout treatment.
This desensitisation approach begins during the home whitening phase and continues through the professional treatment, ensuring patient comfort even during the most intensive whitening procedures. The result is that patients can achieve dramatic whitening results without the pain and discomfort that often accompanies other high-strength whitening systems.
Treatment Process and Journey
Initial Assessment and Planning
Your Enlighten journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine your candidacy for treatment and establish realistic goals. This assessment includes detailed examination of your teeth, evaluation of existing dental work, and discussion of your whitening history and expectations.
Digital shade matching and photography document your starting point and help track progress throughout treatment. Pre-treatment preparation may include dental cleaning, treatment of any underlying dental issues, and sometimes a brief desensitisation period to optimise your comfort.
Home Whitening Phase
The first phase involves wearing custom-fitted trays with Enlighten's specialised home whitening gel for approximately two weeks. This phase is crucial for preparing your teeth for the final professional treatment and beginning the deep whitening process.
During this phase, you'll wear the trays overnight using a gentle, extended-release formula that works whilst you sleep. The custom trays ensure perfect fit and optimal gel distribution whilst preventing contact with your gums. Most patients notice significant improvement during this home phase, but the most dramatic results occur during the subsequent professional treatment.
Professional Power Whitening
After completing the home whitening phase, you'll return for the professional power whitening appointment. This intensive treatment uses high-concentration whitening gel to achieve the final dramatic improvement, typically taking 60–90 minutes.
The combination of pre-treated teeth and professional-strength whitening agents produces the guaranteed B1 shade that sets Enlighten apart from all other systems. Throughout the professional treatment, comfort is maintained through the desensitisation protocols established during the home phase.
Immediate Results Verification
One of the unique aspects of Enlighten is that results are immediately apparent and measurable. Upon completion of the professional phase, your teeth will have reached the B1 shade, verified using standardised shade guides. The dramatic transformation is often surprising even to patients who expected significant improvement.
Unmatched Effectiveness
Guaranteed B1 Shade Achievement
Enlighten is the only whitening system that guarantees to reach the B1 shade — the whitest natural tooth colour on the standard dental shade guide. This guarantee is backed by extensive clinical data and represents a level of confidence that no other whitening system can match.
Success with Challenging Cases
One of Enlighten's most remarkable achievements is its ability to successfully whiten teeth that other systems cannot improve. This includes tetracycline staining, severe age-related discolouration, and other challenging cases previously considered unsuitable for whitening.
Even patients who have been disappointed by previous whitening attempts often achieve excellent results with Enlighten, making it the treatment of choice for the most demanding cases.
Long-lasting Results
Unlike some whitening systems that produce temporary improvements, Enlighten creates stable, long-lasting colour changes that can be maintained indefinitely with simple care. Most patients maintain their B1 shade for years after treatment with nothing more than good oral hygiene and occasional use of whitening toothpaste.
Comfort and Safety Excellence
Virtually Pain-Free Experience
Despite achieving the most dramatic whitening results available, Enlighten has been engineered to minimise discomfort through its innovative desensitisation protocols. Most patients experience little to no sensitivity during treatment, even during the intensive professional phase. When sensitivity does occur, it is typically mild and short-lived.
Protective Treatment Protocols
Enlighten's treatment protocols have been specifically designed to protect tooth enamel and supporting structures throughout the whitening process. The custom tray delivery system prevents gel contact with gums and soft tissues. Extensive safety testing and clinical trials confirm that Enlighten whitening does not weaken teeth or cause lasting sensitivity when performed according to established protocols.
Ideal Candidates and Suitability
Enlighten works exceptionally well for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to achieve the whitest possible natural tooth colour. The system is particularly valuable for patients who have been disappointed by other whitening methods or who have challenging staining from tetracycline, coffee, tea, or age-related yellowing.
The dramatic results make it particularly appealing to professionals in image-conscious careers, public speakers, and anyone preparing for special events like weddings or important career milestones. Enlighten requires a higher level of commitment than simpler whitening systems — patients who choose it understand that exceptional results require exceptional treatment.
Treatment Timeline
Before beginning Enlighten treatment, a thorough dental examination ensures your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for intensive whitening. We recommend our dental membership plans to ensure that this treatment goes smoothly with no hidden costs.
Custom impressions are taken for precision-fitted trays. The home whitening phase typically lasts 2–3 weeks with nightly tray wear, followed by a 60–90 minute professional power whitening appointment. Specific aftercare instructions help maintain results, typically including avoiding staining substances for 24–48 hours after the professional session.
Long-term Maintenance and Care
After achieving your B1 shade, maintaining results requires only basic oral hygiene and sensible lifestyle choices. Regular dental cleanings help remove surface stains, whilst good daily hygiene prevents new discolouration. Most patients maintain their dramatic results for years.
When eventual touch-up treatments are needed, they can often be accomplished with simple home whitening using your retained custom trays — making maintenance convenient and cost-effective. Many patients find that touch-ups are needed infrequently, typically every 2–3 years.
While Enlighten results are highly stable, avoiding excessive exposure to strong staining agents like tobacco, red wine, and dark beverages helps maintain your investment longer.
