Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world. At Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire, we offer professional whitening treatment designed to give you a beautiful, natural-looking bright white smile.
Most people dream of a beautiful, Hollywood-style white smile, but unfortunately the stresses and strains of everyday life can easily get in the way. When you think about what your teeth go through in an average day, it’s not difficult to understand how they become stained. Tea, coffee, cola, red wine, habits such as smoking and even some medicines can result in staining of the teeth.
When provided by a dental professional – a dentist or a hygienist on a dentist’s prescription – teeth whitening treatment is a safe, effective, and gentle way to get rid of these everyday stains, restoring a natural bright whiteness.
When you come into Garden View in Buckinghamshire for a teeth whitening consultation, the first thing we will do is to establish the nature of your tooth staining. It may surprise you to know that dental plaque is the leading cause of stained teeth in the UK – 66% of us have visible plaque, which causes unsightly yellow or brown discolouration.
Plaque is both preventable and dangerous for your oral health. An appointment with our Buckinghamshire hygienist, Stefanie Binnie, can eliminate all traces of plaque. She will also provide you with customised advice to prevent the problem from happening again, including changes to your brushing and flossing routine as required.
Buckinghamshire teeth whitening options
If your Buckinghamshire cosmetic dentist decides teeth whitening is the most suitable option to combat your tooth stains, he will talk you through the treatment options, enabling you to choose the best one for your needs.
Home whitening
This option takes two weeks and involves the use of custom-made whitening trays and dental bleaching gel. You put some gel in the trays and wear them overnight for a fortnight.
Power whitening
Power teeth whitening is carried out by your dentist here in our Buckinghamshire practice. You just sit back and relax for an hour whilst a light is used to activate the gel.
