Having revealed the cause of discolouration in the course of comprehensive physical examination, our experienced dentist will tell you which teeth whitening technique would be the best for you.

In each case it is advisable to avoid smoking and the consumption of foods and beverages that tend to stain your teeth for 2-3 days after the treatment.

It is clinically proven that teeth whitening supervised by professional dentist or hygienist is absolutely safe, it does not trigger any harmful effects in the dental tissues.

The colour of dental restorations like fillings, inlays and crowns can’t be changed with whitening, but they can be replaced after having reached the desired colour with the whitening agents. The result will be bright, evenly white smile. ​

The whole appointment lasts about an hour, made up of three 20 minutes sessions.  The teeth will get 5-8 shades whiter thanks to the whitening agent and special light source which activates it.

Prior to the actual whitening itself, regular dental cleaning with overall scale and polish is necessary. Then the lips and the gums are covered with rubber dump and a special gel is applied to protect them from the whitening agent during the treatment.

Once the whitening gel is applied onto the surface of the teeth it is activated with a special UVB light exposure.

At the end of the bleaching a special protective substance is placed on the teeth. 48 hours following the treatment for the best result it is recommended to avoid the consumption of foods and beverages such us coffee, tea or red wine. Temporary sensitivity might occur 1-2 days following treatment. If sensitivity is stronger than usual, Sensodyne Rapid toothpaste or a simple treatment at the dentist will kill the unpleasant feeling.

The result can be maintained in the long run with home tray whitening method which is also available at our Elephant&Castle/Borough dental practice.

Regular dental cleaning with scale and polish is necessary prior to the treatment.

An impression is taken of your teeth, based on which you will be given your custom fitted plastic whitening tray, which exactly fits your individual dentition. You need to fill the tray with whitening agent and place it on your teeth.

You might experience smaller piercing feelings, which will vanish in a day. If serious sensitivity occurs, take a break with the whitening. Clean your tray every day and keep it dry after use.​

Parts of the root canal filling are removed, and whitening gel is placed inside the tooth.  Which is then temporarily closed. The result can be seen within hours, but it gets spectacular after 2-3 days. If necessary, the whitening procedure can be repeated.
