Teeth Whitening

As a qualified and registered dentist, I can safely and legally provide home teeth whitening services for you.

​

More and more people are wanting whiter, brighter, cleaner looking teeth and this can be achieved with teeth whitening or bleaching your teeth.

​

What is involved?

​

After a thorough consultation to see if you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. I will take impressions (moulds) of your teeth,in order to have a custom made bleaching tray constructed at a dental laboratory.

​

On the next appointment, I will give you your bleaching trays along with instructions on how to apply the bleaching gel, for a specified period of time each day,until your goal is achieved.

​

Is teeth whitening permanent?

​

Teeth whitening isn't permanent. It can last from a few months to several years-it varies from person to person.

The whitening effect won't last as long if you regularly smoke, or drink red wine, tea or coffee, which can all stain your teeth.

​

Will teeth whitening work on false teeth?

​

NO, teeth whitening does not work on dentures, crowns,fillings or veneers.

​

What are the risks of teeth whitening?

​

No matter which system used, there is a chance that your gums and teeth may be sensitive to the chemicals used, particularly if you already have sensitive teeth to begin with.

If you are worried about this, I can provide you with a strengthening mousse which can be applied into your bleaching trays, and worn for an hour daily for a week or two prior to starting the teeth whitening gels.

​

There is also a chance of burns to the gums, but to minimise this risk, the tray is custom made to fit your teeth precisely, with specific design features to ensure a tiny reservoir of active gel will sit exactly where it should.
