Teeth Whitening

Dental whitening is the least invasive treatment that provides dazzling results.

Very few people have naturally white teeth and they can become further discoloured as we grow older.

It has been around for over thirty years and is an effective and safe way to lighten the colour of your teeth.

‘Home whitening’ is the most effective form of whitening treatment. We provide you with custom-fitted thin night-guards that are used to apply bleaching gel to the teeth every night for around 4 weeks. The results look at their best for 2-3 years, but research shows that there will still be some residual effect after as long as ten years. It can be easily topped up whenever you feel the need.

‘In-surgery’ whitening (wrongly named as ‘laser’ whitening) may be used to kick start a course of whitening treatment but it should be remembered that it is not a treatment on its own — some home treatment is always needed to stabilize the colour change achieved.

Exactly what will be best for you will depend on the cause of the discolouration. We will be happy to assess your teeth and discuss the result that you are likely to achieve.
