Teeth Whitening Norwich

It’s hard to imagine anything more appealing than a sparkling white smile, yet our teeth rarely stay as white as we’d like them to without a little help.

Teeth whitening is a procedure used to lighten the colour of your teeth. Teeth can become discoloured due to the natural process of ageing, stained as a result of certain foods and or drinks or as a result of smoking. Teeth whitening effects can last anything from 6 months up to 2 years or more, the effects vary from person to person.

Tooth whitening done in a professional dental setting is a safe, effective way to achiever a brighter, whiter smile. It is also perhaps the most economical and safest cosmetic dental procedure with results that can be dramatic.

Professional dental whitening is a regulated industry, therefore results are guaranteed and will arrive quickly, safely and effectively. Buying over-the-counter whitening products can result in permanent, painful and unsightly damage to your teeth and gums! Our cosmetic dentists are well experienced in teeth whitening in Norwich and will ensure that your teeth are whitened safely without causing damage to gums or enamel.

The process of teeth whitening in Norwich

Having an oral exam before you begin any whitening process is an important first step to make sure your tooth discolouration is not the result of a dental condition in need of treatment. We begin by doing an examination of your mouth to ensure that you are dentally fit and well and a good candidate for tooth whitening. Your dentist will then go through the procedure, which can often start on the same day.

The first step to any whitening procedure is to book a consultation with your preferred clinician.

Home-whitening

As a patient, you will play a greater role in ensuring and achieving your desired level of whiteness. If you are deemed to be a suitable candidate for tooth whitening, the following is how this process works:

Firstly we take a mould of your teeth, from this mould two thin, flexible rubber mouth trays will be custom-made for you.

You then add the whitening gel to your trays and position the trays over your teeth. These trays are then slept in overnight until you have reached your desired result. It may sound complicated, but do not worry, your dentist will demonstrate how easy and simple it is to use!

Caring for your whitened smile

There are lots of things you can do to make sure your whitening results last as long as possible. The length of time that teeth whitening in Norwich lasts varies from person to person; generally speaking, it lasts from 6 months to 2 years or more.

Firstly it is very important to maintain your daily routine of brushing and flossing as well as keeping up with your regular schedule of professional cleanings at your Dental Practice.

Avoid foods and beverages that stain, including red wine, tea and coffee. If you do smoke, use your newly whitened teeth as an impetus to quit – a good idea in any event.

A minor touch-up every so often, can keep your smile bright and beautiful for years.

Why get your teeth whitened at the Dentist?

  1. You’ll boost your confidence – An unhealthy-looking smile can affect your confidence over time, causing a reluctance to smile. Feel great about your smile and your oral hygiene by investing in tooth whitening and boosting your confidence levels.
  2. You’ll benefit from a custom treatment – Tooth whitening should always be overseen by a professional and experienced dentist, such as those in our team here at Corner House Dental– you’re in good hands. We will invite you to attend a consultation appointment where you can discuss your expectations of treatment and ask any questions you might have. Moving forward, we will take accurate impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays, to which a whitening agent is applied.
  3. Professional whitening treatments are completely safe – Teeth whitening treatments offered by anyone other than a professional dentist can present potential dangers for patients. Dentists are the only people who are able to create impressions of your teeth to make perfectly fitting whitening trays, eliminating the risk of the whitening agent coming into contact with your gums, which can cause irrevocable damage.
  4. You can ‘reset’ your dental hygiene – A scale and polish (deep clean of your teeth) is included as part of tooth whitening treatment – this is to remove any tenacious surface staining such as plaque and tartar that builds up over time as a result of poor oral and dental hygiene and lifestyle choices such as smoking. Tooth whitening is an opportunity for a fresh start and can set you on a path to better oral hygiene habits, but with the added benefit that you can start implementing these habits with a great-looking smile.
  5. Tooth whitening is a simple & non-invasive procedure – Teeth whitening treatment is one of the most hassle-free cosmetic procedures out there with no recovery time or pain associated.

Why are home whitening kits from the dentist better than over-the-counter?

Buying whitening gels online or over-the-counter can result in permanent, painful, and unsightly damage to your teeth and gums!

An investigation by Which? found that 58% of whitening treatments available online actually contain illegal and dangerous levels of hydrogen peroxide, which can cause teeth sensitivity and gum irritation.

However, professional teeth whitening such as the treatment we offer is regulated, and only contains a safe and legal amount of hydrogen peroxide. This means results are guaranteed and will arrive quickly, safely, and effectively – our cosmetic dentists are well-experienced in teeth whitening in Norwich and will ensure that your teeth are whitened without causing damage to gums or enamel.
