Tooth Whitening
What is teeth whitening?
The colour of your teeth can be affected by many factors including the aging process, staining from food and drink, trauma, illness, disease and medication.
Professional teeth whitening from a dentist is the only safe, legal, and effective method of achieving a whiter, brighter smile.
Here at Webheath Dental Practice we use Boutique Whitening, which is a premium quality, professional teeth whitening system that delivers superior results, and we love it!
How does teeth whitening work?
Your dentist will first carry out a full dental examination to assess the overall health of your mouth. Provided everything looks good, they will then explain your teeth whitening options.
With Boutique, you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep, depending on what suits your lifestyle.
The dentist will take some photographs to check the existing shade of your teeth. Then an impression will be taken and sent to the Boutique Whitening laboratory, where your bespoke, custom-fit whitening trays will be made.
Your trays will be fitted at the practice and you will be shown you how to use the whitening syringes. In most cases, you will see an improvement in just a few days and optimum results in around 3 weeks.
It really is that simple!
Why is home whitening the best option?
In-chair whitening with a lamp (sometimes referred to as laser-whitening) is what most patients picture when considering professional tooth whitening. However, there is questionable evidence to prove the effectiveness of these lamps.
On the other hand, there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that dentist-supervised home whitening is the most effective way to whiten teeth.
Here at Webheath Dental Practice we have helped many people achieve beautiful, whiter smiles using Boutique Whitening.
Boutique Whitening is a system that we trust, that we use ourselves, and that we find gives consistently amazing results. It’s definitely our favourite whitening brand!
Day or night whitening?
Boutique Whitening comes in different formulas so that you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep.
The Day kit contains 6% hydrogen peroxide and is designed for 2 hours wear per day.
The Night kits come as either 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide, which is designed for 6 hours+ overnight wear.
