Tooth Whitening

Over time, stains build up on the teeth and tooth whitening works by effectively removing these. These stains are most commonly caused by the foods and drinks we consume, smoking, and the aging process.

 

The tooth whitening process works by using professional grade products, prescribed by your dentist, that release oxygen into the tooth enamel to remove the discolouration that has built up over time.

​

Your first step when getting your teeth whitened is an initial consultation with our dentist – to ensure you are dentally fit for whitening treatment before we begin.

​

If so, a dental scan is then taken and custom trays made from the digital impression so that your new trays fit your teeth exactly. For optimum results, this will ensure that you get a very even and thorough coverage of gel on your teeth whilst wearing your trays. Finally, we will show you how to use your new whitening trays and gels at home as well as provide you with ‘instructions for use and aftercare’ to take away.

​

As a guideline, we advise that it usually takes up to 7 to 10 days to see any noticeable effects of treatment and the level of whiteness you achieve will depend on your diet and the porosity of your teeth.
