Teeth can change in colour for many reasons. These include:
- Age – a natural change after years of wear and tear and staining.
- Smoking – this can yellow the teeth and cause gum problems.
- Food and drink – some foodstuffs such as coffee and red wine may alter the colour of your external enamel
- Internal discolouration – this can be for a number of reasons such as trauma to a tooth or teeth causing internal bleeding or due to reasons from your childhood.
While it is essential to maintain a good oral health care routine to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, sometimes, the colouring can change regardless of the products you use.
We offer a selection of home whitening treatments to tackle your dull smile and leave you with brighter, whiter teeth.
Home whitening kits are typically applied using a tray. We will take impressions of your teeth so that our laboratory can create your individual trays.
You will be shown how to apply the teeth whitening treatment and given advice on how long you should use it for. Often this means filling the trays with the whitening solution and wearing them overnight. We will follow up your treatment at the practice to ensure you’re getting the desired results.
Teeth whitening is perfectly safe, and we have chosen the most effective products on the market to get your teeth gleaming.
