How do I start my whitening treatment?
Once we have fully assessed your dental health with a comprehensive examination, we will be able to inform you of the best possible options for whiter, brighter teeth.
Which technique is right for me?
In general, we advise using the in chair Philips Zoom! LED system especially if you would like all of the treatment to be done for you in about 90 minutes. We still advise using the provided take home kit for another 3-5 days for the best result and at just £499 ( for a very limited time!), this is great value for money.
Will I need to visit the hygienist before treatment?
If you have not a recent dental hygiene visit, this is essential for the very best result. Plaque, calculus and stains will prevent the process from working fully. Having a clean healthy mouth is vital for lovely white, fresh looking teeth!
What if my teeth are really dark?
We often see patients with severe discolouration which can be for a variety of reasons such as antibiotic staining as a child, illness whilst teeth were developing, too much fluoride, smoking or simply a genetic predisposition. Whitening your teeth is still possible and this will usually involve wearing our home kit for an extended period for between 4-6 weeks. In most cases, we advise using the trays overnight using 10% carbamide peroxide.
Are there any hints and tips for using the whitening trays?
Yes! It is important to only use a little gel in each tooth compartment, less is more. We will show you how to do this. The trays should also be completely dry prior to placing the gel so that there is no dilution. A handy tip is to shake off any excess water, pat dry with a tissue and then use a cotton bud to dry each tooth section within the tray. Please do the same on your teeth before fitting the tray; this makes a huge difference.
I have sensitive teeth, can I still whiten?
Yes absolutely. We may ask you to de sensitise your teeth first using special pastes for a week or two prior to whitening. This is done by rubbing the paste over the sensitive areas at night and locking the paste in with the bespoke whitening tray. This will help a great deal and is a useful tip for tooth sensitivity in general. GC MI plus paste is excellent for this and we can prescribe this for you.
