Teeth Whitening

Teeth can lose their natural whiteness for a number of reasons including diet, ageing, certain medications, smoking and trauma, but a noticeably brighter smile can be achieved with teeth whitening – a safe, chemical process that eliminates discolouration.

Teeth whitening will only work on natural teeth and will not be effective on restorations such as crowns, veneers or dentures. However, these can be replaced to match newly whitened teeth.

Why whiten your teeth with us?

At our practice whitening your teeth is easy, seamless and comes with guaranteed results.

With a premium whitening system, a fully trained team and dentists at the ready to give you exactly the smile you want, whitening your teeth has never been easier.

As your local Enlighten-trained dentist, we are invested in offering you the very best of everything from the second you walk through our practice doors.

Why use the Enlighten whitening system?

Because Enlighten whitening was designed to give you control. We have tried several whitening systems before Enlighten and we have been with them ever since. Here are reasons you will love Enlighten too:

• Guaranteed B1 shade (the most natural white shade on the vita guide).
• No diet changes are required so you can continue eating your favourite foods to your heart’s content.
• And forever-lasting results.

Home whitening

• Impressions are taken of your teeth so customised whitening trays can be produced to fit comfortably and securely.
• The trays are worn daily with a bleaching gel for a specified length of time.
• After completing the course of treatment (normally after a couple of weeks), you will attend a follow-up appointment to check your teeth have been successfully lightened.

We recommend you use our home whitening kits as they are more effective and also allow us to keep a close eye on your teeth, which can help avoid side effects such as gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.

Aftercare

You can help maintain the whiteness of your teeth by avoiding food and drink that may cause staining, and brushing your teeth at least twice a day.

Teeth whitening does not provide permanent results, but home whitening trays can be reused if a top-up is necessary.
