A smile opens up the world and people should feel confident about the way their teeth look. As we get older, naturally our teeth tend
darken with increased dentine, however this staining process can be sped up
with certain foods, drinks and smoking. Teeth whitening can reverse or slow
down this process. If over time, you feel your teeth are not as bright as they
used to be and after cleaning to remove any stains on the outside of your
teeth, it may be suitable for you to brighten your smile by using teeth
whitening in a specially designed
Home teeth whitening is easy, non invasive and cosmetic. It
produces beautiful results for our patients. Our lab make designed patient
trays to deliver a specially formulated and EU approved whitening gel to remove
internal stains in the teeth. There are no long term negative effects on the
enamel or strength of the teeth, on the dentine or the gums.
This depends on a number of factors and results will vary between patients. Generally speaking, we will return your teeth to their brightest colour before all the staining (sometimes whiter). We will get your teeth as white as they will naturally go. We expect on average an improvement of 3-4 shades from treatment. We will take a shade of your teeth at the beginning of treatment and at the end to show the improvement in the appearance of your teeth.

Most people will get some form of sensitivity from teeth whitening. It is usually mild and normally gone within 48 hours. By using the Sensodyne toothpaste in the trays for 1-2 hours will help reduce the sensitivity.
No. The result of teeth whitening will vary from person to person based on lifestyle (e.g. staining foods or drinks – tea, coffee, red wine), wear of the teeth and the aging process of the teeth themselves. The real benefit of a home teeth whitening kit is that if you think the teeth have darkened over time or are not as bright as they were on completion of the treatment then, you have the ongoing ability to ‘top up’ or refresh the colour of your teeth from time to time. How often this is done will vary.
Not at all! The kits provided need to used in accordance with the instructions provided and an assessment needs to be carried out in advance of the the provision of a teeth whitening kit, but following these simple precautions, teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure.
No, the gels will only work on natural dental tissue and not on dental restorations. This need not be a deterrent from teeth whitening! Teeth whitening procedures can be carried out following an assessment and if there are any discoloured dental restorations, then these can be replaced following teeth whitening. A treatment plan and cost will be provided prior to the teeth whitening procedure.
