Teeth Whitening

This is where we use try and change the shade of your teeth for a more favourable colour. It’s purpose is to give you are more brighter fresher smile.

 

This is usually achieved via crowns and veneers, whitening may initially be done to aid this.

Tooth whitening is seen as the least invasive method of whitening your teeth.

Usually the most common is sensitivity which usually only lasts as long as you are whitening your teeth. This can usually be reduced by wearing your trays with sensitive toothpaste.

Currently we have three types of whitening, trays which are made from moulds of your teeth, then syringes are given which you would wear in the trays either over night or in the day, also we provide whitening pens which comes with light activation devise. And also in surgery whitening where we use a bright light and whiten your teeth?

Usually if the whitening desired is only a mild shade improvement comp fillings will not usually need to be changed, but if more then fillings and crowns will need to be changed.

More whitening gel can be purchased under the prescription from your dentist

The intrinsic staining of teeth is usually from a combination of different food that we eat and drinks, hence for best results we would advise to avoid food/drinks that may discolour your teeth.
