See our own real patient before & after photos here. Tooth whiteningTooth whitening is the simplest and most effective smile lift of all. The latest whitening techniques are safe and effective treatment options to give you brighter, lighter teeth and a more vibrant, confident and attractive smile. Why have my teeth discoloured? Teeth naturally become more yellow as we age, but other factors can also cause yellowing and staining. Tea, coffee, red wine and of course smoking all contribute to the build up of stains, and some medications may also cause discolouration. But with professional tooth whitening it’s possible for most people to achieve a whiter, brighter smile very simply. Power or in-office whitening At Ten Dental Health, Clapham, London we use a power whitening system that gives excellent results. In our surgery, a whitening gel is applied to the teeth and a powerful light is used to help activate the gel. This treatment gives whiter teeth with lasting results in just one sitting of about an hour and a half. Professionally supervised home whitening Performed under the direction of your dentist, home whitening is also very effective. Your dentist will organise the making of special trays that fit your teeth exactly. At home, you apply whitening gel to the trays and fit them over your teeth, leaving them for several hours, usually overnight. This method takes an average of 3 to 4 weeks. Does it hurt? Both home whitening and power whitening may cause a small increase in sensitivity to hot and cold. This is temporary and settles down quickly once the treatment finishes. How long does it last? After whitening, teeth usually maintain their brighter shade very well. Of course, the effects do vary from individual to individual and will be influenced by diet, smoking, tea, coffee and red wine consumption. Can anyone have whitening? There are very few cases where teeth can’t be whitened. Remember however that crowns (caps), veneers or other restorations in your teeth won’t change colour and your dentist will discuss this with you before you start treatment. Over the counter products Whitening toothpastes can remove superficial stains but can’t change the colour of your teeth. Other products like whitening strips and off the shelf trays may give slight changes in colour but they’re not as effective as professional treatments.
