Teeth whitening in South Yorkshire
Teeth whitening is ideal if you’re tired of your stained, yellowed teeth – or perhaps you’ve had a dental restoration or implants and want your old, natural teeth to match your shiny new ones. At Tickhill Dental & Implant Centre, we can whiten your teeth safely and effectively, creating a professional smile makeover that’s quick, comfortable and affordable.
Bleaching your teeth – how it works
Teeth naturally darken and stain over time, and this process is hastened by consuming dark, tannin-rich coffee, tea, and red wine. Smoking is another major cause of yellowing teeth, while treatments such as root canal can leave teeth discoloured.
During your whitening consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth to confirm you’re a suitable candidate, and recommend the best teeth whitening prescription for you.
3 easy steps to whiter teeth:
- We take impressions of your teeth and make custom whitening trays to fit them
- You get a kit to take home complete with whitening gel and trays
- You place a small amount of the gel into the trays and wear them overnight for up to two weeks – you’ll gradually notice a change in the shade of your teeth
While you can buy cheap whitening products over-the-counter, professional teeth whitening provides many advantages that outshine these DIY options, from the bespoke whitening trays that target the teeth while protecting the gums, to the higher-strength, prescription gel that you can only get from a dentist.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Can anyone benefit from whitening teeth?
Yes, if you are not pregnant and have good oral health. Teeth whitening is not generally recommended for children.
Is teeth whitening bad for enamel?
Rest assured, professional whitening treatment will not cause permanent damage to your enamel or any other part of your teeth – nor will the bleaching affect the shape or texture of your teeth in any way.
Do teeth whitening products actually work?
While over-the-counter whitening products like whitening toothpaste or whitening strips can remove stains, there is no substitute for professional whitening treatment and teeth bleaching. While supermarket whitening products are cheaper, you get what you pay for and only professional teeth whitening can actually change the natural colour of your teeth.
Does tooth whitening work on implants, fillings, bridges, veneers, and crowns?
No. If you’re having dental implants or a dental restoration, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first so that they can be colour-matched to your new restorations. The upside of dental restorations and implants is that they are less prone to staining than natural teeth.
