Your teeth whitening appointment in South East London

Teeth whitening is a simple process that involves bleaching your teeth in order to remove stains often caused by tea, red wine or smoking. This makes the colour less concentrated and makes your teeth appear lighter and brighter.

If carried out by a trained dental professional, whitening is perfectly safe and will be based on their knowledge of your oral health.

During your first appointment, the dentist will discuss all available options and develop a treatment plan for you.

They will also show you a chart of what shade your teeth are before treatment and what shade you are likely to achieve post treatment.

Safe and effective treatment

Whitening won’t damage the surface of your teeth or change their shape. It is therefore a much safer option than some cosmetic dentistry alternatives like veneers.

Whitening doesn’t involve permanently altering the tooth’s structure and is easy to look after.

A carefully controlled concentration of bleach is applied to your teeth using specially made trays that fit in your mouth for a predetermined duration as prescribed by the dentist.

You may experience some sensitivity for a short time during your treatment, but this is normal and will soon fade away after the completion.

Teeth whitening FAQs

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains or discoloration, resulting in a brighter smile.

How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening methods typically involve the use of bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These agents break down stains on the tooth surface, lightening their color and enhancing the overall appearance of your teeth.

Are there different types of teeth whitening?

Yes, there are various teeth whitening methods available. The most common professional and safe methods include in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening kits provided by dentists.

Is teeth whitening safe?

When performed correctly, teeth whitening is generally safe. However, it's important to follow the instructions provided by your dentist or the product manufacturer to minimize the risk of side effects, such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Professional teeth whitening supervised by a dentist is often the safest option.

How long does teeth whitening last?

The duration of teeth whitening results varies depending on individual factors like oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle. In general, the effects of teeth whitening can last from several months to a couple of years. Touch-up treatments or maintenance may be required to maintain the desired level of whiteness.

Can anyone undergo teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is suitable for many people, but it's best to consult with a dentist before starting any whitening treatment. Some individuals with dental conditions like gum disease, tooth decay, or extremely sensitive teeth may not be suitable candidates for whitening. Your dentist can evaluate your oral health and recommend the most appropriate option for you.

Will teeth whitening work on all types of stains?

Teeth whitening is most effective on surface stains caused by factors like coffee, tea, tobacco, or certain foods. However, it may be less effective on deep stains caused by intrinsic factors like tooth trauma, certain medications, or excessive fluoride exposure. In such cases, alternative cosmetic treatments like dental veneers may be recommended.

Can teeth whitening damage tooth enamel?

When done correctly, teeth whitening should not damage tooth enamel. However, excessive or improper use of whitening products can potentially weaken enamel or cause tooth sensitivity. Following professional advice and instructions is essential to minimize any risks and maintain oral health.

How long does a teeth whitening procedure take?

The duration of a teeth whitening procedure depends on the method used. In-office professional whitening typically takes about one to two hours, while at-home treatments can take a few days to several weeks, depending on the product and desired results.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have dental restorations?

Teeth whitening products generally only work on natural teeth and may not have a significant impact on dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have dental restorations visible in your smile, it's important to discuss teeth whitening options with your dentist to ensure a consistent appearance.
