Teeth whitening is an excellent way to boost the appearance of your smile. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, our experienced cosmetic dental team are highly experienced in providing whitening treatment. We have two options available at our practice.

How teeth whitening works

Teeth whitening uses special bleaching gel to safely and gently remove everyday stains from the teeth. Our teeth are easily stained by food and drink such as coffee and red wine, by smoking, and by some medications and medicated mouthwashes. Even patients with good dental hygiene practices may find that their lifestyle is causing stains on their teeth.

If you are concerned about stained teeth and want to improve the appearance of your smile, you should call into our Buckinghamshire dental practice to find out about teeth whitening treatment options.

You should always consult a dentist before starting teeth whitening treatment. Products available from the internet or from beauty parlours are unlikely to be as rigorously tested as those used in a dental practice. They may at best be ineffective; at worst they can actually damage your teeth and gums.

The products we use at Garden View in Buckinghamshire are tested and safe. We offer two treatment options: power whitening here in the practice, and home whitening.

Home whitening

Home whitening involves the use of custom-made teeth whitening trays and whitening gel. The trays will be made to comfortably fit over your teeth. You place a small amount of the gel into the trays and wear them overnight for approximately two weeks.

Power whitening

Power teeth whitening is carried out here at our Buckinghamshire practice by a cosmetic dentist. They will shield your lips and gums and apply whitening gel to your teeth. A special lamp is used to activate the gel, and all you need to do is sit back and relax for an hour or so.
