There are many reasons why teeth can lose their natural brightness over time. Professional teeth whitening is a simple, effective solution and a popular treatment choice among many of our patients.
What is teeth whitening?
Tooth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic treatment that brightens your smile by removing stains and discolouration from the teeth. Using professional whitening systems such as Philips Zoom! and Enlighten, custom-made trays and clinically approved whitening gels help achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results from the comfort of your own home.
Should I whiten my teeth?
Teeth naturally lose brightness over time, with staining commonly caused by tea, coffee, red wine, smoking and certain foods. Professional teeth whitening can safely restore a brighter, fresher smile, and your Specialist Orthodontist can advise whether treatment is suitable for you and which whitening system will deliver the best results for your teeth.
It is important to note that veneers and crowns will not change colour during whitening treatment, so we usually recommend completing any restorative dental work after whitening. Due to the gradual nature of home whitening, you will have full control over the final shade of your smile and can easily ‘top up’ your results whenever needed.
