This is our most popular cosmetic dental treatment and it’s not hard to see why, as the results are amazing. We have a range of tooth whitening treatments on offer to cater for patients with varying needs and budgets, including Enlighten, Why10 and LaserSmile.
About tooth staining
The teeth lose their natural whiteness as time passes, but if you’re keen on a glass of wine or you love a coffee on your way to work each morning, this process can be accelerated. Staining makes the teeth less attractive and healthy and it can also make you look older. Tooth whitening is a means of lightening the shade of the teeth to make your smile look brighter, healthier and more youthful.
Our treatments
We offer in-chair whitening, home whitening and Enlighten, which combines both elements.
Enlighten is one of the world’s best-selling whitening treatments because it guarantees the brightest, lightest shade and the results last for many years. It uses the best aspects of home and in-chair whitening to offer you convenient, painless and effective treatment. Enlighten takes 15 days and involves 14 days of home treatment followed by an express in-chair whitening session, which takes just one hour. At home, treatment involves wearing a specially designed whitening tray during the night. The in-chair treatment simply requires you to pop on some protective goggles and lie back and relax while we activate a whitening agent on your teeth.
Home whitening is a really great option for patients who have a very busy schedule. Treatment is very simple and you will start to notice the results just a few days after the start of treatment. All you have to do to reap the benefits of treatment is to wear a custom-made whitening tray for between 10 and 14 days at home. The tray is made according to a mould of your teeth to ensure a comfortable fit and it contains bleaching agent.
We also offer in-chair treatment, which takes just 90 minutes, to produce a radiant, bright smile.
