Tooth Whitening Treatments

Tooth whitening is a very simple, common procedure to whiten natural tooth enamel in a short time, and can be a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface.

There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth, and, just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Our teeth can become more discoloured as we get older. They can also be stained on the surface through food and drinks and smoking. Calculus and tartar can also affect the colour of the teeth. Whiter teeth give a more youthful and confident smile.

Professional bleaching is the most common form of tooth whitening. Your dentist will be able to tell you if you are suitable for the treatment, and will supervise it if you are.

Tooth whitening is instant - results will show several shades lighter after a 1 hour 'Zoom' session or within a few days of using home trays+kit. The 'active ingredient' in the product is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide hydroxide. As the active ingredient is broken down, oxygen gets in to the enamel on the teeth and the tooth colour is made lighter.

You can choose from: all at home procedure or in surgery Zoom power whitening or combine the two procedures for faster, longer lasting results.

We are always happy to carry out a no- obligation free consultation to decide the best plan for our patients.
