Tooth Whitening is a safe and effective way of improving the appearance of your smile without causing any pain. Teeth whitening treatments can transform the appearance of the teeth in a matter of hours and give you a bright healthy smile.
Over the course of time, the natural whiteness of the teeth can fade and our day-to-day lifestyle, habits and diet can have an impact on the colour of the teeth. Our whitening treatments can help restore the natural whiteness of the teeth, boosting your confidence and giving you a smile to be proud of. Benefits of Tooth Whitening
The procedure Vital teeth are bleached by application of the teeth whitening substance to the external surface of the teeth. The whitening procedure will first be carried out in the dental surgery, and then at home. This involves the use of 10-15% material called carbamide peroxide, applied in a custom made tray for a certain number of hours per day or during sleep, for up to 14 days. Treatment is carried out by the patient him/herself, but the dentist monitors the process. A change is noticeable usually within two weeks but the process can be carried on for longer. Darker brown discolouration may take longer and may not change completely. FAQ How long will it last? The likelihood is that it will last for a year although ‘top-ups’ may be needed at 6 monthly intervals. Will there be any problems The only real side effect teeth whitening are that some sensitivity can result (especially cold). If this occurs then we advise the use of sensitive toothpaste such as Sensodyne. If it continues then we recommend contacting the surgery. How long does the procedure take? First of all you will need 2 or 3 visits to your dentist. Your dentist will need to make a mouthguard and will need to take impressions for this at the first appointment. Once your dentist has started the treatment, you will have to continue the treatment at home. This will mean applying the bleach regularly over 2-4 weeks for up to 5 hours at a time.
