Easing Your Mind Over Teeth Whitening Concerns

We all want to have teeth white enough to show off proudly but recent research has shone a light on the lengths some people will go to achieve a bright shine. Bristol cosmetic dentists attend dental school for years, studying to perfect their area of expertise before gaining a full dental licence. However, it is now possible for hairdressers and beauty consultants to attend a one day course to gain a licence qualifying them to legally whiten teeth. Cases of botched teeth whitening procedures are on the rise and dentists and doctors both agree that it can be linked to this unsafe qualification. Dentists are now urging patients to avoid going to beauty salons and clinics to receive this popular but potentially dangerous procedure and to only use fully qualified professionals. When done correctly, teeth whitening is perfectly safe and dentists train for years to gain ability, confidence and experience before performing the treatment. Burns to gums and other oral tissue can be severe if whitening is not carried out correctly and it is often the same dentists who are warning against the use of beauty clinics that have to examine and treat these burns. While doctors and dentists are calling for a ban on day long courses that can give beauty therapists and others the legal ability to whiten teeth, Clifton Dental Studio would like to ensure patients that staff at our prestigious dental studio are fully trained in this area of expertise and are chosen for their remarkable skills and abilities, both at their specific job and when it comes to interacting with patients, treating patients to the level of kindness and professional demeanour that you deserve.

Rejuvenate Your Smile In Bristol

If wear and tear has taken its toll on your smile, Clifton Dental Studio has the perfect solution: smile rejuvenation. Using the latest techniques and treatments, we can transform your smile to make you look and feel amazing.

What does smile rejuvenation involve?

When you bump into an old friend, meet up with family members or walk into a room ready for an important meeting or interview, your face makes expressions and this means that your smile is usually the first thing people notice. You may spend a huge amount of time and money on your hairstyle or creating the perfect outfit, but have you ever thought about investing in your smile? Your teeth are built to last, but they are vulnerable to minor injuries, knocks and general wear and if you have chipped or stained teeth, this can have a real impact on the overall look of your smile. The aim of smile rejuvenation is to give your smile its sparkle back and help you to feel more confident.

Our treatments

We have a variety of treatments at our disposal to create perfect, youthful looking smiles. During the consultation, we will take a look at your teeth and chat to you about which bits you like and dislike, what you would like to change and what you think constitutes a perfect smile. This will give us an idea of what you want to achieve from treatment. The treatments we use will normally depend heavily on the issues you want to correct. Popular treatments include tooth whitening, porcelain crowns and white fillings and veneers, which are generally used to treat chipped, worn and discoloured teeth. We can use imaging technology to create designs and show you what you can expect to see after treatment. We want you to be beaming when you leave and we encourage you to share your ideas with us so we can work together to achieve this goal.

Weston-super-Mare brightens smile with tooth whitening

Tooth whitening is a highly effective way of lightening the colour of your teeth without damaging the surface enamel. It is much cheaper and far less drastic than having a whole set of veneers to brighten teeth and can be just as effective while still maintaining a natural appearance. There are many reasons why you may require tooth whitening but by far the most common is to reverse the staining of teeth that happens naturally as we age. The discolouration can be accelerated by ingesting certain foods and drinks such as coffee, and smoking can also increase the process. The most common form of teeth whitening is professional bleaching carried out by a Weston-super-Mare dentist. The dentist will initially assess if you are suitable for whitening as the use of certain medications precludes treatment. If you are suitable, the dentist will use a rubber shield to protect the gums and other soft tissue before applying a concentrated mixture containing the active ingredient hydrogen peroxide. As this is broken down oxygen penetrates the enamel on the surface of the teeth making it appear lighter. Complete treatments usually take between three and four weeks with regular applications of half an hour over that period. In most cases the dentist will make up reduced concentration treatments in special trays to be used at home. Although some new treatments can be applied for longer reducing the overall treatment time to as little as a week. Other new treatments include using the heat of a dental laser to activate the chemical reaction producing a much faster colour change. The effects of tooth whitening can last up to three years although it is important to remember that all treatments will work differently for each patient as teeth vary in their natural colour and texture. Talk to a Weston-super-Mare dentist about the possibilities of brightening your smile with tooth whitening.

Restore original colour with tooth whitening from Bristol dentist

Tooth whitening is a process where stained and discoloured teeth are bleached white using a series of chemical treatments. It is one of the most affordable and commonly used cosmetic dentistry procedures and widely offered by most dentists. Teeth can become discoloured for a number of reasons. In some instances the discolouring is hereditary or related to another ongoing medical condition. Sometimes it can be down to lifestyle choices made by the patient such as using tobacco products or drinking red wine or coffee on a regular basis. However, in most cases the discolouration of teeth is down to nothing more than the aging process. As we get older, just as our hair begins to lose its colour, so do our teeth. But luckily, just as it is possible to reverse the loss of hair colour with dyes, it is also possible to reverse the loss of tooth colour. Discolouration can be slowed by effective brushing and flossing but once enamel has become stained it can only be returned to its original white colour through staining. Most teeth whitening procedures will initially take place in the dentist’s surgery. This is because whitening gels contain hydrogen peroxide, an active agent which can damage the soft tissue of the gums, lips and tongue if applied incorrectly. Dentists may offer reduced strength pre-prepared home whitening trays for patients after initial treatments. It is important to remember that buying whitening products from the internet can be very dangerous because of inconsistencies in strength. Always consult a Bristol dentist prior to any kind of tooth whitening Tooth whitening has different affects on different patients. Some patients respond very well to treatment and have visibly whiter teeth after only one session. For others it may take three or four applications before the teeth appear to be visibly whiter. In successful treatments, teeth can be whitened up to an incredible ten shades. If you are considering returning your discoloured teeth to their former glory, consult a Bristol dentist about tooth whitening treatments.
