Whitening
Safely brighten the shade of your teeth
Whitening is an extremely popular way of safely brightening the shade of your teeth. The process is simple, safe and highly effective. The treatment is pain free and only requires impressions or a scan of your teeth and the results can be noticed in a few days.
Whitening is usually carried out in the comfort of your own home. After assessing your suitability your dentist will take an impression or scan of your teeth, they would then provide you with custom fitting whitening trays that fit over your teeth, as well as whitening gel. They will then show you how to use the gel and whitening trays to whiten your teeth. The process takes up to two weeks and the trays with gel inside them can be used during the day or at night.
Most people won’t find whitening painful, although it can cause some sensitivity. This is usually easy to tackle by using sensitive toothpastes or serums. The sensitivity will pass once the whitening process is complete. If you get severe sensitivity during the process, you should seek advice from your dentist.
How long does it last?
The length your teeth will remain white will depend largely on each individual. Diet and habits will play a large role in the longevity of the results. Drinking dark beverages such as tea, coffee or red wine or smoking will shorten the results. We would usually recommend topping up your whitening after 6-12 months. This can easily be carried out by purchasing more bleaching gel from your dentist, the whitening trays would usually not need replacing as long as they are looked after, and your teeth haven’t moved position.
