Teeth whitening at the dental practice

If you are looking for instant results then you can have teeth whitening carried out at the dental practice. This includes applying a teeth whitening gel consisting of hydrogen peroxide onto your teeth and activating the bleaching agent using UV light for quicker and more enhanced results. It may be possible to brighten your teeth up to eight shades whiter. The procedure will take approximately half an hour to ninety minutes and is ideal if you have a big day or a special occasion coming up. Professional teeth whitening performed in the dental practice is recommended once every 1 to 3 years, depending on your individual needs. If you maintain good dental hygiene and visit the dentist on a regular basis then you should not need it as often.

Teeth whitening at home

If you are looking for a gradual teeth whitening process our dentist will be able to prescribe a home whitening kit. A home whitening kit takes approximately two weeks to whiten your teeth to the desired shade and often involves a hydrogen peroxide teeth whitening gel that is to be worn in your mouth for a short period of time during the day. It also includes a carbamide peroxide night whitening gel that is kept in your mouth overnight and works whilst you sleep. Both hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide work to break down the stain molecules on the surface of your teeth and reveal the white enamel underneath. Home whitening kits are also perfectly appropriate to use when prescribed by our dentist and it is important that you follow the instructions at all times for optimal results.
