All of us at some stage in our lifespan experience teeth stains or discolouration. Some of us may be more prone to dental discolouration due to our genetics or smoking habits that yellow the teeth. Our diets can affect the colour of our teeth. Those who love to drink red wine, tea or coffee regularly may find that their teeth yellow too or become dull, losing that fresh white toothy lustre.
The impression our teeth make
When we smile, the first thing we reveal are our teeth and gums. The state of our teeth can impact the way in which we are perceived by others. To help you look and feel your best we provide a convenient solution at Clifton Dental Studio in Bristol to safely whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home.
Safe and convenient home teeth-whitening
Our dentist assesses your teeth whitening needs and makes appropriate recommendations for treatment. We can power whiten your teeth in our studio for immediate teeth whitening results and provide you with maintenance home teeth whitening treatments or we can give you a full home teeth-whitening solution.
Our teeth whitening dentist custom-prepares whitening trays for you that contain a low intensity oxidising agent to gently whiten your teeth shade. The tray fits over the teeth similar to a mouth shield and should be used approximately six hours a day for best results.
Home teeth whitening effects does vary from person-to-person. All our whitening products are compliant with EU regulations. Home and power teeth whitening may not be suitable for all, such as those with genetic tooth discolouration or those with overly sensitive teeth. Dental veneers may then be the ideal alternative to mask dental discolouration for healthy, white-looking teeth and a beautiful smile.

Our teeth whitening treatments
Our dental team has carefully selected a wide range of whitening treatments to ensure our clients enjoy beautiful, bright smiles. We offer some of the world’s leading whitening treatments, including Enlighten, in addition to incredibly simple and convenient home whitening systems.
Enlighten: a popular choice with A-listers, Enlighten is often touted as the world’s best whitening system. Enlighten treatment takes 15 days in total and involves two weeks of home treatment topped off with a one-hour session in the dental hair. Home whitening couldn’t be simpler and involves wearing a bespoke Enlighten whitening tray for 14 consecutive days at home. On the 15th day, you pop in and see us for a one-hour treatment. We apply whitening agent to your teeth and then shine a light to activate it.
Home whitening: home whitening is brilliant for those who have very hectic schedules, as it can be fitted around your day to day routine very easily. Before you begin treatment you come in for a consultation and this allows us to check your oral health and create impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create your custom-made whitening trays. You wear the trays, which contain whitening agent, at home for around 6 hours per day for up to 14 days. By the end of treatment, your smile will look lovely and radiant and the results should last for a long time. If you do fancy giving your smile a bit of extra sparkle further down the line, it’ very easy to top up treatment.

Teeth whitening has been around for centuries and a beautiful white smile continues to be associated with wealth and success. At Clifton Dental Studio in the heart of Bristol we offer a range of whitening treatments that can give you a natural, sparkling smile.
At-home whitening treatment
At-home treatment is great for people who lead busy, hectic lifestyles. The treatment produces brilliant results and the process is simple. We design a custom-made whitening tray for you to wear and then advise you on when to do so. The majority of people wear their tray at night to make sure it does not interfere with their daily routine. The treatment will usually take between 6 to 15 days and the different treatments have varying degrees of success. But we firmly believe that our at-home treatments are highly effective and they can also be topped-up to prolong results.
Are there any risks?
This is generally considered a safe treatment when administered by a trained dentist. Bleaching carries risks and there is likely to be some sensitivity, which is why we examine our patients before giving the green light for treatment. If you have any oral health problems it is better to treat these as a priority before beginning whitening treatment.
Does it work?
The treatment cannot change the colour of the teeth, but it can lighten the shade of the teeth and the results are often impressive. Teeth whitening is a great treatment for those who want to give their smile some extra sparkle without undergoing extensive or invasive treatment. The process is painless and you will not need to worry about injections, needles or spending hours on end in the dental chair.
As we get older, the natural whiteness of the teeth starts to fade, and the smile can look a little dull. Staining can be accelerated by your diet, and if your enamel becomes thinner, the yellow dentin section underneath becomes exposed, causing your teeth to look discoloured. With tooth whitening, we are able to give your teeth a healthy glow and create a brighter, healthier looking smile without any pain, needles or drilling. If you’re looking for perfect pearly whites this winter, why not try our amazing home whitening treatment?

This means that you can fit your treatment around your normal day to day life and enjoy all the benefits from the comfort of your house.

Even the most careful dental patient can experience surface stains on their teeth and sometimes, brushing and flossing are not enough to give the teeth a bright, white glow. As we age, the natural whiteness of the teeth fades due to general wear and tear and exposure to different colours in foods and drinks and this can cause the smile to look less attractive. While a good daily oral hygiene routine will help to keep your teeth looking clean and prevent staining, professional whitening treatment is the only effective means of actually lightening the shade of the teeth. We offer a host of whitening options to lighten and brighten your smiles and our treatments work quickly with no pain at all. One of our most popular systems is Enlighten, the world’s leading whitening treatment and a favourite with celebrities. Enlighten combines home whitening and in-chair treatment, with a 14 day period of home whitening treatment followed by a one hour whitening session at the practice. It is the only treatment currently available, which guarantees the lightest shade, B1 and the results last for a very long time, so you can enjoy a beautiful, bright smile for years to come!
