Teeth Whitening

In recent years, tooth whitening has become the most requested cosmetic dental treatment. A bright, fresh looking smile can be a great confidence booster and can even make you look younger!

As we age, our teeth darken due to changes in the mineral structure of the tooth and our lifestyle which can speed up darkening of the tooth. It is well known that smoking, coffee and red wine in particular can cause a gradual reduction in the brilliance of the enamel.

Is it safe?

Tooth whitening is the safest cosmetic treatment when performed by dentists. A few patients (15%) may experience tooth sensitivity but generally it is mild and of short duration.
We give specific advice to all patients about sensitivity and how to prevent or control this.

Advice

It is now the law that this treatment can only be carried out by a dental professional. Although the treatment is available in beauty salons and home kits are also obtainable on the internet, incorrect treatment methods and the strength of the gels used could permanently damage your teeth and gums.
