Teeth Whitening

Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you when they meet you for the first time. Studies have shown that if you have white, healthy-looking teeth you will be perceived as more competent, successful, and happy, so there are good reasons to keep your smile as bright and pleasing as possible.

Tooth discolouration and staining can be caused by a number of issues. The most common include:

• Poor dental hygiene practices
• Smoking
• Regular consumption of coffee, tea or red wine
• Certain types of medication
• The aging process

At Horfield Dental Care we offer state-of-the art whitening treatments that enable you to make a first-rate impression every time. Our cosmetic brightening solutions are fast-acting, affordable, and yield results that you’ll be happy with whichever system you choose.

What types of teeth whitening systems are available?

We have 2 whitening systems available, starting from a custom made take-home whitening kit, to one that also incorporates a procedure performed directly in our clinic. Our dentists will review each option with you and recommend one that suits your lifestyle, budget, and the condition of your teeth.

Boutique Whitening

Boutique whitening is our premium home teeth whitening solution. Your dentist will assess and discuss the suitability for this treatment before proceeding. The first stage will involve taking impressions of your teeth to make a bespoke whitening tray that will fit your mouth perfectly. When the whitening trays are fitted at the second stage your dentist will provide you with the instructions and  whitening gel to take home. This treatment takes 2 weeks.

Enlighten B1

Enlighten is our premier teeth whitening system. Embraced by celebrities and public figures as the only whitening treatment to guarantee a B1 shade regardless of how badly stained your teeth are at the beginning.

Prior to treatment, we take impressions or scans of your teeth to create a custom set of whitening trays and provide you with an optional serum that lowers tooth sensitivity. When the trays return from the laboratory, your dentist will confirm that they fit and provide you with instructions on how to apply the whitening gel. You will be required to wear them for three weeks, with the gel concentration increasing weekly. Once the three weeks are over, we will complete the process with a review to assess the degree of whitening, providing you with further gels if required and show you how to maintain your dazzling new smile.
