What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a dental treatment that bleaches the teeth without damaging the enamel, restoring a youthful, fresh smile. It can be performed in practice by one of our dental professionals, or at home, using our specially provided, professional products.

What about off-the-shelf products?

Though high-street products are available, they contain a lesser concentration of the whitening agent, making them less effective.

Why choose teeth whitening?

Life is hard on your teeth. Apart from all the chomping they do each day, they’re exposed to staining from dozens of sources – tea, coffee, red wine, dark fruits such as raspberries and cherries, starchy pasta and potatoes, curries, and even tomato sauce. Teeth whitening can restore the fresh appearance of your teeth, and therefore your smile.

What are the advantages of whiter teeth?

Smiling is a natural expression of happiness – something we do from infancy onwards – but faded or stained teeth can make us self-conscious. If we keep that grin locked away behind tight lips, we can give off the wrong impression. That crucial interview, that longed-for first date, that important meeting with clients; all can be enhanced by an easy, un-self-conscious smile. To put it simply, teeth whitening can give you confidence, and confidence can open all manner of doors.

Who is teeth whitening for?

Teeth whitening is for both men and women – anyone who wants to roll back the years and summon that youthful confidence again. Teeth can become stained at any stage of life, so teeth whitening can be for the young, as well as the young at heart.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

There is a small risk of increased sensitivity after the in-practice procedure, but if that occurs, sensitive toothpaste such as Corsodyl can help with that.

How long does teeth whitening last?

With regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and perhaps the occasional touch-up, having your teeth whitened can be a lifestyle change that endures in the long term. We advise you avoid the food and drink which stains your teeth, or that you clean your teeth once they’ve been consumed.
