Whitening
Teeth whitening is
suitable for healthy teeth that are stained with coffee, red wine,
smoking etc, or teeth that have yellowed or darkened with age.
We offer three ways of
whitening your teeth and your dentist can advise you as to which method
would be the best for you.
-
Standard Whitening - with home trays for 3 weeks. This works well
for the majority of our patients. Your teeth are lightened at home by
application of a tooth-whitening gel to the surfaces for between 2-4
weeks, using custom-made trays.
Once whitened, the effect will last 2-4 years depending on how much
coffee, red wine etc that you consume, Top-up gel is available to
maintain the results.
-
Enlighten®
Whitening -
this method uses a different type of whitening gel and a slightly
different procedure. After home whitening for two weeks we then
further whiten your teeth in the dental chair in two 20 minutes
applications during a single appointment.
This method is particularly recommended for those patient with very
dark or dense teeth. A year's supply of top-up gel is included in the
price.
-
Office Whitening- This method involves a 90 minute appointment and
the whitening is done in the dental chair. It is best to be followed
by wearing bleaching trays at home for two weeks afterward, but for
those that do not really want to do this, the home bleaching can be
replaced by another session in the chair at a later date.
If
you would prefer whiter, brighter teeth, it is sensible to whiten all
of your teeth before any treatment as we can then match
any restorations to the colour of your new teeth.
Further details and prices
