    Explore Your Teeth Whitening Options

    When it comes to teeth whitening, you have several options to choose from. Although every method of teeth whitening is effective in giving you a whiter and brighter smile along with removing the stains, picking the right option for your teeth whitening treatment is crucial for your oral health and it depends on your time constraints and personal preferences.

    In-Practice Teeth Whitening

    In-practice teeth whitening means your whitening treatment should be performed in a dental practice or clinic by a professional dentist. This will involve using advanced methods for whitening such as UV light and hydrogen peroxide; which lighten the colour of your teeth by breaking down stains. It is a quick procedure and offers remarkable results within a couple of dental visits. People wanting to brighten their smile instantly can go for this option as it shows immediate improvements. Based on the intensity of your staining, your teeth can be lightened up to 8 shades.

    At-Home Teeth Whitening

    This is a convenient and affordable option where you can get whiter teeth at your home. It involves using custom trays containing low concentrated bleaching agents. It is a comfortable, safe solution. However, at home treatments take longer to give complete results. You will observe significant improvement in the shade of your teeth with consistent use.

    Begin your 2-step journey to a dazzling smile

    • Firstly, your appointment will be arranged at any of our partner practices where dentists will assess your condition and take dental impression for customised whitening trays.
    • Then you will receive a follow-up appointment date for teeth whitening procedure from our experienced cosmetic dentists or dental hygienists in London. During the procedure, they will apply whitening gel on the teeth that may give you a warm sensation and within an hour you will see a noticeable result. The treatment will be concluded with relevant aftercare instructions to ensure your smile stays bright.

    In-clinic teeth whitening in London makes use of bleaches containing highly active substances like carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Our partner dental practices in London make use of these components to make the treatment safe and ensure no damage is done to the teeth.

    You may feel tempted to use cheap at-home teeth whitening kits, but they may include harmful bleaching ingredients in unregulated quantities that can cause permanent and irreversible damage to your tongue, gums and teeth. Or they may do nothing at all.

    For any concerns related to teeth whitening treatments, you must consult with a dentist in London. If you need help, we can help you to get an appointment at one of our partner dental practices near you in London .

    What will happen during your teeth whitening appointment in London?

Next our expert team collects your dental impressions to customise a set of gumshields, specifically fitting your teeth.

    After your gumshields are ready, our dentist will explain to you how to use them and how frequently you should us them. You are now ready to start your teeth whitening treatment at home and get the best experience.

    Teeth whitening and aftercare

    Expert advice is very important to ensure the whitening effect lasts a long time. Here are some recommendations by our cosmetic dentists in London:

    • Always take good care of your teeth and gums
    • Brush and floss regularly using fluoride toothpaste
    • Rinse the mouth using alcohol-free and stain-free mouthwash
    • Stop smoking
    • Abstain from stain-inducing foods and drinks
    • Go for regular dental checkups, professional cleanings and touch-ups

    Is teeth whitening suitable for me?

    • You need to be 18 or above to undergo professional teeth whitening. But it varies depending on individual circumstances.
    • You must possess healthy gums and teeth, although it will be evaluated by the dentist beforehand.
    • If you are breastfeeding or pregnant then teeth whitening must be avoided for the time being as bleaching ingredients can be harsh and affect your baby.

    In case you are not an ideal patient for teeth whitening treatment then you may wish to opt for white veneers to mask your teeth stains and discolouration from any of our partner dental practices in London.

    Common Problems after Teeth Whitening

    How long do you need to wait to eat after teeth whitening?

    If not specified, you can start having your foods and drinks once the treatment is over. However, dentists usually recommend avoidance of dark-coloured food items and smoking for the first 48 hours of the treatment as it can affect the new result.

    How can you continue the teeth whitening result?

    After professional teeth whitening treatment, you have to use the at-home whitening trays for 30 minutes per day for 2 weeks. The dentists at our partner dental practice will show how you can use the whitening tray and the amount of gel need to apply for effective results.

    Is whitening treatment effective on fillings?

    Fillings are available in 2 varieties- amalgam and white composite fillings. While the amalgam possesses silver-grey appearance, composite fillings are relatively more aesthetic. Due to the use of different materials, teeth whitening treatment makes no difference to either composite or amalgam fillings.

    However, if you are still interested in replacing your existing amalgam fillings, the dentists at our partner dental practices are always there to help you. These will also enhance your smile appearance boosting your confidence level.

    Does Teeth Whitening work on crowns?

    Just like fillings are impossible to whiten, teeth whitening treatment cannot work on dental crowns too. However, you can get teeth whitening treatment beforehand so that crown can match the shade of your natural teeth. Crowns can lose their colour over the years usually after 5-15 years; you can simply replace them with a new, whiter one at a nearby partner dental practice of MD.co.uk.
