Believe it or not tooth whitening or bleaching has been undertaken for over a hundred years.
At Wanstead dental practice we use the most up to date techniques to achieve that confidence boosting improvement to your smile.
As with many aspects of dental care there have been considerable advances in teeth whitening technology. The latest bleaching gels can be used to undertake whitening either in the practice or at home.
At Wanstead Dental Practice we think the best option for most patients wanting to whiten their teeth is a course of take-home bleaching trays. These are used in conjunction with a lower concentration of whitening gel and fit the teeth very accurately. We make the trays in house and therefore the process can be started very quickly. You will first be shown how to use the trays at the practice and then you will be given the trays and gel to use at home, making your bleaching treatment a convenient and a comfortable experience for you. We undertake periodic monitoring to check how the process is progressing.
Whilst we recommend take-home bleaching treatments in most cases, sometimes bleaching undertaken at the practice may be the preferred option. Either way Wanstead Dental Practice has the knowledge and skill to provide an appropriate bleaching technique to improve your smile.
Teeth whitening is a perfectly safe procedure when carried out by a suitably qualified dental professional. In the United Kingdom it is not legal for anyone else to use the bleaching gels and techniques that are needed to get the best result. Beauty parlours or health spas that offer bleaching can’t legally undertake these procedures unless they employ a General Dental Council registrant. In some cases they will use materials that can potentially damage the teeth and gums.
Please don’t let unqualified personnel undertake illegal practices on your teeth. It’s important to have a thorough examination first which can only be undertaken by your dentist. Put your trust in Wanstead Dental Practice to safely give you the spectacular smile you’ve been dreaming of.
