Teeth Whitening

My lovely whiter smile-thank you Lina!

‘I had become very conscious of the colour of my teeth, so much so that I tried to avoid showing my teeth when smiling.  Having asked my dentist Lina about teeth whitening she carefully explained the whole process to me and I decided to go ahead.  The making of the moulds was straightforward and the application of the gel was simple, after 2 weeks of gel application I was delighted to see that my teeth were bright and much whiter.  At my age (61) I was not expecting, nor did I want a brilliant American finish but the result was such that I am no longer ashamed of my teeth, and I can smile with confidence’

Don’t let the whiteness fade

We often get asked how to maintain the colour of your teeth after they have been whitened, so here’s our handy tips…

  1. See your dentist/ hygienist for professional cleaning at the recommended time interval (usually every 3-6mths)
  2. If drinks have a high stain potential, use a straw
  3. Remember to brush shortly after you have drinks that are highly staining. If you can’t, try to rinse with lots of water.
  4. Avoid abrasive toothpastes which may wear the enamel, exposing more of the darker substructure in your tooth (the dentine)
  5. Don’t smoke!

Finally, use a home whitening kit to give you a little boost occasionally!
