Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure available at our dental practice. It’s the quickest and most effective way to improve the appearance of your smile.

The natural whiteness and brightness of teeth fade over time. Discolouration and staining can occur as a result of dietary habits such coffee, tea, red wine, curry and cigarettes.

The purpose of teeth whitening is to restore your teeth to their natural, white colour. This treatment will allow you to enjoy a glossy and healthy smile that you can be proud of.

Why Choose Somers Square Dental to Whiten Your Teeth?
Our clinicians can provide expert care and support throughout your whitening journey. Trusting a dentist with your treatment is essential, as teeth whitening carries the risk of long-term damage to your teeth and gums if not applied correctly.

Teeth whitening uses strong chemicals which can penetrate the tooth, oxidise staining particles and flush them out. These chemicals are safe when administered by a dentist but can damage teeth and gums if mishandled.

Teeth Whitening Dentist
Choosing the right dentist to manage your treatment in our dental practice will ensure stunning results with no damage to your teeth or gums.

Using over-the-counter teeth whitening substances is likely to be ineffective, and trusting an unlicensed individual to manage your treatment may lead to severe burns in your mouth. Dehydration of the tooth is also a risk that can easily be addressed when you choose professional, dentist-supervised treatment.

What Can’t be Achieved with Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening will only be effective on natural teeth, and some stains cannot be lifted with whitening alone. 

Whitening won’t change the shade of prosthetics such as dental implants, crowns, bridges and veneers. Instead, we recommend a hygienist cleaning to help keep your restorations looking beautiful.

The results a clinician can achieve are also limited if the discolouration is caused by trauma to the tooth or medications. In complex cases, we can recommend alternative treatments. 

Alternatives to teeth whitening include veneers, crowns and composite bonding. These restorations will conceal complex tooth discolouration issues that cannot be addressed with traditional teeth whitening methods.

The Results of Teeth Whitening
Whitening your teeth at home, no tooth enamel is removed or damaged during the process, and as the procedure is painless, no injections are required. 

How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
The teeth whitening results typically last around three years, but even at that point, your teeth will still be considerably whiter than they were before the treatment.
