Whitening

The problem:
  • Dull coloured or stained teeth

The solution:

 

BOOST Our in house accelerated Boost whitening system enables us to whiten your teeth in the surgery in just two hours. Ask your dentist or hygienist for more details.

Alternatively you can use a take home system - plastic whitening trays will be made from models of your teeth. You will then place a special whitening gel in each tray and wear the trays in your mouth for 30minutes, morning and night for up to 14 days.

Advantages:

Modern tooth whitening systems are highly effective and have dramatic results. However results do vary from patient to patient. Many celebrities consistently whiten their teeth to improve their appearance.

Disadvantages:

Occasionally, patients may experience some gum or tooth sensitivity when using their trays. These symptoms subside when whitening is discontinued for several days.

Alternatives:

Occasionally, teeth may be stained in a way that limits the effectiveness of tooth whitening. In those instances, porcelain laminates or crowns are an excellent alternative
