Teeth whitening
Dark stains on the teeth are common with people who smoke and take a lot of coffee, red wine and tea. Teeth stains and discolouration also occurs over time due to other factors such as ageing, genetics, fluorosis, and taking certain medications.
Regardless of the cause of your teeth stain or discolouration, you can undergo different teeth whitening treatments at Tunbridge Wells Dental Care. With our professional whitening treatments, you can safely and effectively brighten your smile and whiten your teeth by several shades.
Home teeth whitening kits
If your stained or discoloured teeth gives you concern and makes you self-conscious, you can opt for a home whitening kit. Home teeth whitening kit requires you to use the kit containing a whitening product and custom-made trays for about two weeks.
Home teeth whitening kits are a cost-effective and safe option for whitening teeth. The result of your whitening treatment can improve your professional and personal life.
To get your home teeth whitening kit, the dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure that this whitening option is suitable for you and then take your teeth impressions to make the whitening trays. When your trays are ready, the dentist will give you a bleaching gel, then show you how to use the whitening trays and bleaching gel.
Enlighten teeth whitening
If you have severely stained teeth, the dentist may suggest Enlighten teeth whitening treatment. Enlighten teeth whitening involves using teeth whitening trays for about two weeks, then an in-chair teeth whitening session. The In-chair whitening session usually lasts for a short while, usually 30 minutes to an hour.
Enlighten whitening treatment can improve the teeth colour by several shades, and the result can last for a long time with periodic top-ups at home. During your consultation for teeth whitening, the dentist will first examine your teeth and gums. You may need to use a de-sensitising toothpaste while waiting for your whitening trays to reduce the risk of teeth sensitivity after your teeth whitening.
Other teeth whitening treatments are available for use at home, such as teeth whitening strips, toothpaste, and gels, but it is important to consult your dentist before using any of them.
