Tooth Whitening

As we get older, people sometimes find that their teeth appear a darker colour. This is a natural aging process which can now often be reversed. It is also a starting point for all cosmetic cases and smile makeovers.

Effective and Fast

Tooth Whitening in Exeter

The whitening process used by dentists does not damage or weaken teeth at all. The only downside is, there may be slight increased tooth sensitivity during this process. There are simple ways of treating this which should not prevent people from completing the treatment.

How Does It Work?

Tooth whitening involves the construction of custom-made, thin, flexible gum shields (whitening trays). These trays are ideally worn during the night with a whitening solution placed inside them. In 99% of cases, the teeth will lighten over a period of 12-14 nights.

Each tooth may lighten at a slightly different rate, so we review your progress during the whitening process. As the colour change happens slowly it is very controllable and can therefore be stopped as soon as the desired colour change has been achieved.

Tooth Whitening Process

  • Pre-assessment whitening check and predicted result
  • Impressions for and fitting of upper and lower whitening trays
  • A standard amount of whitening solution (normally 8 syringes)
  • Review appointments during the process
  • Written and verbal instructions

Occasionally, some patients with discoloured teeth due to medical reasons may need more than the standard amount of whitening solution but this will be discussed at the assessment appointment.

Aftercare

Once the whitening procedure has been completed the teeth will never return to the darker colour again. Some patients do like to top up their whiter smile every couple of years by purchasing a syringe of whitening solution from us. Very few patients need to do this, but some like to.
