Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a simple procedure which lightens the colour of your teeth to a desired shade. A variety of methods are available including home whitening which involves the use of a clear gum shield into which the whitening agent is applied and which is worn for about 45 minutes per day. The other method involves the application of a gel and laser treatment and is carried out in surgery to offer more immediate results.

 

Your dentist will advise you on the shade best suited to you and the appropriate treatment method.

Teeth whitening treatments lighten the teeth with the use of Hydrogen Peroxide (bleach). Whitening can be applied to the outside of teeth to brighten their appearance, or to the inside of the root canal for teeth that have had diseased roots.

Tooth coloured fillings and replacement teeth will not lighten with these treatments.

Teeth may be sensitive to hot and cold food and drink for a few days after the whitening treatment, but this is a temporary effect.

 

Teeth Whitening Trays and Gels

Your dentist can provide you with teeth whitening trays and gels that can be worn at home. These can be very effective, but results take longer to achieve than dental surgery whitening.

Your dentist will take an impression of your mouth and give this to a dental technician, who will build a bespoke tray to the exact measurements of your mouth. Your dentist will check that the tray fits and demonstrate how to carry out the procedure at home.

I have just finished my Invisalign course and am extremely happy with the results. Although there are other practices much closer to me, I chose Elegance Dental because of their glowing reputation, and I’m pleased to say I made the right choice. Erika was always very polite and professional, answering any questions I had along the way, and her assistant Lucy was lovely too.

The receptionists were always friendly and helpful, especially Holly who dealt with my monitoring messages – always responding very quickly and helping to re-arrange appointments when I needed.

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Elegance Dental and with the Invisalign course – I have even chosen to get my yearly check-ups there now too.

I cannot speak highly enough of this dental practice! All of the staff are so friendly & polite. As a usually very anxious patient, I was worried that I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a new practice but all of the staff made me feel confident & calm. Sneha has been fantastic from the get go, explaining all the procedures & what was going to be done at each appointment in as much detail as I wanted - no question too big or too small - and Holly & Lucy were also brilliant, they honestly couldn't do enough to calm me down & it feels like they all really care about their patients. I won't go anywhere else for dental work in the future and I'm grateful to have finally found a dentist I can trust! Thank you all xx

Went in for my normal 6 month check up today, Erica thoroughly cleaned and checked as usual and to my joy and surprise she asked if I would like to have my chip filled in on my front tooth. Without hesitating off she went. Thank you so much Erica, I honestly can't thank you enough. My wedding photos will look great now.....well at least my teeth will be!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Erika and all the team at Elegance Dental. I was overdue to a visit to the dentist and was very anxious as I am not the easiest of patients. I found all the staff to be very supportive and so friendly throughout my treatment as I had Invisalign. Erika went above and beyond to have my treatment completed before my wedding which made such a difference for me on our special day. So pleased with my new smile 😀. Would thoroughly recommend! X

5/5, 10/10, 100/100!

Erika is THE best. I had my Invisalign through Erika and more recently some further dental work. There isn’t anybody else I would go to or trust the way I trust Erika. She is nothing short of amazing and professional at all times, explaining your options and what’s the best treatment! Her whole team is welcoming and make you feel ‘at home’ right away! Thank you Erika :)
