WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
Tooth whitening is a highly effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without adversely affecting any of the tooth's surface. It can make a huge improvement to your smile.

WHY WOULD I NEED MY TEETH WHITENED?
There are a number of reasons why you might wish to get your teeth whitened. Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Very few people have brilliant- white teeth, and our teeth can also become more dis-coloured as we get older. Your teeth can also be stained on the surface through food and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and blackcurrant. Smoking can also stain teeth. Tartar can also affect the colour of teeth. Some people may have staining under the surface, which can be caused by certain antibiotics such as Tetracycline.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
The effect of most whitening treatments will last for at least 6- 24 months depending on your lifestyle. We are able to provide you with a top up kit for home use to use once a month to keep your new white smile lasting even longer. IS IT SAFE: Over a decade of clinical research in the USA indicates that teeth whitening is completely safe, however, Teeth White recommends that pregnant women, nursing mothers and anyone taking any form of medication consult their GP prior to whitening their teeth.

ASIDE FROM SENSITIVITY, ARE THERE ANY OTHER SIDE EFFECTS?
There have been reports of discomfort in the gums, a sore throat or even white patches on the gum line but these are all very rare. These symptoms are temporary and should disappear within a few days of ceasing whitening. If any of these symptoms continue you should consult your dentist. .

DOES WHITENING WORK ON VENEERS, CROWNS, BRIDGES AND FILLINGS?
Stain removal may occur on artificial dental products but they will not whiten any more than their original colour. As the other teeth lighten gradually you can choose to cease whitening or you can continue whitening and have your crown replaced to match your new whiter smile

WILL THE PROCEDURE HURT?
The whitening procedure is painless, however a small percentage may experience temporary sensitivity for 24- 48 hours after the treatment
