Professional Teeth Whitening in London
You cannot go wrong with professional teeth whitening when looking for the most effective way to enhance your smile. Achieving that dazzling smile you have always wanted is more accessible than ever. Professional teeth whitening at our London, Cricklewood dental clinic is safe and efficient. It can remove stains and discolouration caused by various factors, including coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and natural ageing. Book a consultation to discuss our at-home teeth whitening kits and in-surgery teeth whitening.
Enhance Your Smile With Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening’s goal is to restore the natural colour of your teeth, or in many cases, enhance them to be several shades whiter. During your initial consultation, we will assess your oral health and discuss available options. We may take a photo of your teeth to monitor treatment progress. We offer our London patients two professional whitening treatment options:
Home Teeth Whitening Kits
For your ease and convenience, we offer at-home teeth whitening kits. This involves taking impressions of your teeth to form custom whitening trays, which are filled with the whitening gel and worn for a period. Modern whitening systems only need one hour of daily use and no longer need to be worn overnight. They also contain a desensitising formula for your comfort. To achieve superior results, the trays are typically worn for 10-14 days.
In-Surgery Teeth Whitening
Tooth whitening can also be done in the surgery. This involves using a stronger concentration of bleach, which is painted onto the teeth and left for a period before being washed away. This process is then repeated 2-3 times. Often, the way to achieve the desired result is a combination of both systems, with initial home whitening followed by in-surgery whitening. We always advise using whitening trays for ongoing maintenance to top up levels when required. This means all you require is further whitening gel when you run out, which we can supply you with, leaving you whiter teeth for life!
What Can Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments Achieve?
Professional teeth whitening is an efficient solution for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their smile with quick, noticeable results.
Benefits
- A brighter smile - A dentist or dental hygienist can get rid of deep stains that whitening toothpastes will have little if any impact on, giving you a brighter, more appealing smile.
- Precise personalisation - Professional teeth whitening can make your teeth many shades lighter and is tailored to your specific needs.
- Long-lasting results - Backed by a good routine of oral hygiene at home, the results of professional teeth whitening are long-lasting because whitening agents available to dentists contain stronger bleaching agents than you can buy over the counter.
- Safer treatment - Store-bought teeth bleaching kits may irritate your gums and increase tooth sensitivity. Professional teeth whitening is carefully monitored by our dental experts who will protect your mouth from damage and can adjust levels of the whitening agent.
What Should You Expect Post-Treatment?
Patients typically enjoy immediate results from professional teeth whitening. Post-treatment, you may experience some tooth sensitivity that should subside within a few days. We may suggest using sensitive toothpaste. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash, is essential. After a tooth whitening treatment in our London office, you should avoid staining substances such as tobacco, red wine, coffee, and tea to maintain the effects. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will also help keep your smile bright.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Age – The outer tooth enamel layer gets thinner from brushing as we age. This reveals the natural yellow colour of the dentin beneath.
- Diet – Regularly consuming highly pigmented foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, red wine, fruits, and sauces, can stain your teeth over time.
- Tobacco – Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause significant yellowing or brownish stains on your teeth.
- Medications – Certain antibiotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications can contribute to tooth discolouration.
- Genetics – Some individuals naturally have thicker or brighter tooth enamel, while others may be more prone to yellowing or staining.
- Trauma or Disease – Damage to teeth or underlying disease may affect enamel development in young children or cause discolouration in adults.
Professional teeth whitening can provide visible results in a single session, while at-home whitening kits are typically less potent and take longer to achieve results. While at-home whitening kits may be more convenient and cost-effective, they may cause uneven whitening results or irritation to your gums and teeth. Visiting our team for teeth whitening ensures protective measures are taken for your safety.
While this is a common patient concern, professional teeth whitening is generally safe and does not damage tooth enamel. Our bleaching agents are carefully formulated to ensure they modify tooth colour without eroding the enamel. However, overuse or improper application can lead to enamel degradation over time. Follow your dentist’s guidance to avoid damage and ensure long-lasting results.
Professional teeth whitening is safe for most of our London-area patients, but some may experience minor sensitivity and discomfort. This doesn’t mean people with sensitive teeth should avoid treatment. We can tailor the bleaching agent concentrations to minimise patient discomfort. Using sensitive toothpaste after the procedure can help alleviate symptoms. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to see if our professional teeth whitening treatments are a suitable option for you.
