Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the colour of your teeth, enhancing their appearance by removing stains and discoloration. This procedure must be prescribed by a dentist, as all of our whitening treatments use prescription-only gels. The strongest whitening gel that can legally be prescribed in Europe contains 6% hydrogen peroxide, or its equivalent, 16% carbamide peroxide, which breaks down into 6% hydrogen peroxide. Professional teeth whitening is the safest and most effective method, performed under the guidance of a dentist. It can significantly improve the appearance of teeth that have been stained by food, drink, smoking, or natural aging.

The duration of teeth whitening results varies from person to person, but on average, professional teeth whitening treatments can last several months to a few years. Factors such as oral hygiene habits, dietary choices, and lifestyle factors can affect how long the results last. With regular touch-up treatments and good oral care, you can extend the brightness of your smile over time. Your dentist can provide personalised advice on how to maintain your whitened smile based on your individual needs.

Yes, teeth whitening, when conducted under the supervision of one of our dental professionals, is generally considered safe. Our teeth whitening treatments use prescription-strength whitening agents, primarily carbamide peroxide, which is a safe and effective bleaching agent approved by dental regulatory bodies.

The teeth whitening procedure itself is typically not painful, as it is non-invasive and does not involve drilling or injections. However, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during or after the treatment.

During the Procedure: You may feel a slight tingling sensation or sensitivity as the whitening gel is applied. This is usually mild and temporary.
After the Procedure: Some individuals may experience increased tooth sensitivity or gum irritation, which usually resolves within a few days.

Tips to minimise discomfort:

• Use desensitising toothpaste or mouthwash before and after treatment.
• Avoid hot or cold foods and drinks immediately after treatment.
• Take over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen, if needed.

Overall, most individuals find whitening well-tolerated and worth it for the brighter smile it provides.
