At Desford Dental Care, we want to help our patients feel proud of their smiles and have found that teeth whitening can produce fantastic results that our patients love.
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is more popular than ever, as more and more people decide they want to have a smile they’re happy to show off. It’s also more successful than ever, with a wide range of treatments available, all of which can help create a brighter, whiter smile.
How does it work?
Teeth whitening treatments use hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to penetrate the enamel of the teeth. This then breaks down the discoloured molecules that help to cause our teeth to appear discoloured.
The treatment is applied to the teeth through a gel that has been specially formulated to work either for a few hours during the day, or overnight. The gel is applied to the teeth via a bespoke whitening tray that will be specially designed to fit your teeth.
Why should I try teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening treatments can help patients feel more confident and self-assured when they smile. Our teeth tend to discolour over time – this is an unavoidable part of ageing and can be impacted by other factors such as smoking, drinking tea, coffee, and red wine, and even simple genetics. Teeth whitening treatments offer a minimally-invasive, low risk and cost-effective way to enhance your smile and facial features.
How much whiter will my teeth be after the treatment?
It is impossible to say just how much brighter your teeth will be, as this is different for every patient. All our patients who have tried teeth whitening have been impressed with the results, however, and we’re sure you will be too.
What is Enlighten Whitening?
Enlighten Whitening is a home-based teeth whitening treatment that can help whiten and brighten the teeth, to help produce a happier smile you can be proud of.
How does it work?
