Teeth whitening at Lawnswood Dental Care

There are a number of different ways to lighten the colour of your teeth, the most common being a personalised whitening tray and bleaching gel method. After a thorough examination to ensure you are dentally fit we would take an impression of your upper and lower teeth. The laboratory then constructs a tray which closely fits the shape of your teeth.

What does teeth whitening involve?

After the tray is made you, will be asked to come back to have the tray fitted and receive instructions on how to use the appliance and the whitening kit. The bleaching kit you are given includes a whitening toothpaste to be used in conjunction with the bleaching gel.You can expect to see a significant improvement in the colour of your teeth after 7 days of use.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Your dentist will assess the colour of your teeth and decide if bleaching is appropriate. It may not be suitable if:

You have discolouration caused by tetracycline staining
Your teeth are very worn or sensitive due to erosion or toothbrush abrasion
Your teeth are already in the whitest colour range!

How long does it last?

Though bleaching causes a permanent colour change to the teeth, your lifestyle may affect how long this colour change lasts for. Things which may affect the longevity of teeth whitening include smoking, tea, coffee, red wine and some foods. You may wish to top the bleaching up every couple of years.
