Tooth Whitening

Tooth whitening is one of the most effective ways to enhance your smile. Tooth whitening is suitable for natural teeth to improve the shade (colour of the teeth).

Emily uses 3 main brands for her professional dental tooth whitening

• White Dental Beauty
• Whitewash
• Pola Smiles
• Advanced Whitening

My preferred method of tooth whitening is always home tooth whitening. This is due to the reliable, long lasting results.

Home tooth whitening consists of custom made whitening trays.

Impressions (moulds) are taken of your teeth and sent to the dental laboratory.

The laboratory then returns your custom made whitening trays, at your second appointment we select the appropriate strength of whitening gel for you to use and demonstrate use at home. Whitening is carried out daily/nightly (depending on choice of whitening gel) to be used for up to 1 month for best results.

Once you are happy with the results from your whitening treatment, you are able to keep your custom whitening trays and purchase top up gels to maintain results.

For patients wishing to go for the ‘Hollywood white’ appearance often results of tooth whitening alone may not reach this very bright finish, so patients may wish to consider composite veneers.

The beauty of home tooth whitening is that you are able to choose your brightness of how much you would like to whiten up to the brightest natural white shade. So patients hoping to brighten their smile, but don’t wish to go ‘too white’ then you are able to stop tooth whitening when you achieve your desired result. Then keep results topped up with any remaining whitening gel you may not have used for your initial tooth whitening.
