What is tooth whitening?
Tooth whitening alters the aesthetic properties of the teeth to give you a brighter, whiter smile. With time your teeth naturally darken, becoming more yellow and gray. Years or drinking Tea, Coffee, red wine and smoking also stain the teeth. These stains build up inside the teeth, so no matter how many times you brush your teeth, or see a dental hygienist, the teeth will continue to darken with time.
Now with our tooth whitening procedures you can reverse this process, making your smile brighter, whiter and more youthful. The process actually removes those internal stains.
Is it safe?
The tooth whitening process has been tested and used clinically for many years (both in the UK and USA), and has proved to be safe and effective when whitening teeth. The majority of dentists agree that this procedure is one of the most conservative ways to alter your smile. Some short-term sensitivity of the teeth to cold following the procedure is common, although with most modern systems this normally resolves within a few days, or can be easily reversed by us if required.
How long does teeth whitening last?
After initial treatment the whitening effect will last 2-5 years depending on your life style, following which re-whitening is recommended. Alternative techniques are available, where you top up the treatment at home to maintain your desired shade of tooth colour. A top-up is always required in time, as you continue to consume coffee, red wine and smoke, so your teeth start to darken again.
What results can I expect from teeth whitening?
We guarantee that we can significantly whiten your teeth, however some types of tooth discolouration respond much better than others. The general yellow discolouration that appears with age responds the quickest. Grey discolouration will respond well, but will normally require a longer treatment period to achieve best results. A small number of people possess developmental defects within their teeth which result in discolouration which may not respond well to tooth whitening treatments. In this situation alternative options are available. Regardless of your existing tooth colour a consultation with a cosmetic dentist is normally required prior to any whitening.
What is involved in teeth whitening?
There are three techniques available.
- In office whitening at the practice, completed in the chair in approximately 90 minutes with immediate effect.
- Home whitening, utilizing thin trays which cover the teeth, used twice daily or while sleeping at night, this takes approximately 2 - 8 weeks depending on desired result.
- A combination of the two techniques resulting in immediate whitening followed by maintenance whitening at home.
This third technique is our treatment of choice producing the best results in the shortest period of time. In conjunction with this, custom made whitening trays are provided to use at home from time to time to maintain your new brighter whiter smile.
New Guaranteed Enlighten Teeth Whitening
We can now offer home tooth whitening which we guarantee to whiten your tooth to a B1 shade or brighter in just three weeks. This is a home treatment worn at night time tried and tested on our own teeth!
This technique requires special bespoke whitening trays made just for. Following your introductory visit we send away for your bespoke trays, taking around 10 days before they are ready. These are then supplied to you with 3-4 weeks of whitening gel for night time use. Used every night we guarantee a B1 shade or whiter in just three weeks.
One exception to this guarantee is for teeth discoloured during development, those teeth which did not grow correctly to start with. This may have been due to excess fluoride, medications such as Tetracycline antibiotics as a young child, or other childhood illness. If your teeth are discoloured like this, then we will still recommend tooth whitening as it will nearly always improve your smile, we just can’t guarantee how much.
Maintenance Treatment:
This is an essential part of the whitening process. This will not only stabilise the in office whitening process, but will allow you to maintain a bright white smile. Maintenance requirements will vary from a couple of days a month to a couple of days every six months. Some other whitening systems do not offer this as part of the whitening process and expect to re-treat in the office every 18 to 24 months, or they require you to purchase this separately with the associated fees involved. Maintenance treatment will avoid the need for further in office whitening.
We are so confident you will be delighted with your smile we offer a number of unique no risk guaranties for your complete piece of mind.
