Teeth Whitening

Teeth-whitening is a popular way to enhance your smile and look your best every day.

What is teeth-whitening?

Teeth-whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that can remove discolouration, lighten the colour of your teeth and brighten your smile.

Dental whitening products act on the surface enamel of your teeth which lightens the colour to give you a sparkling smile. At Springburn Dental Care, we offer patients a range of teeth-whitening treatments, both at home and in-practice.

Teeth-whitening should only be prescribed and carried out by your dentist.

Is whitening right for me?

Over time, the colour of your teeth naturally darkens. In addition, coffee, red wine, coloured foods, smoking and oral hygiene issues can also stain and discolour teeth.

For an important event, or simply to when you want to look your best, cosmetic teeth-whitening can be a convenient, safe and effective way to enhance your appearance.

During your initial consultation, your dentist will advise you if whitening is right for you. Whitening treatments only enhances the colour of natural teeth. Crowns, veneers and fillings are unaffected by whitening.

You must be over 18 and have healthy teeth and gums to benefit from whitening treatment.

What is the treatment for teeth-whitening?

Home whitening treatments such as Boutique Whitening, consist of a whitening gel that you apply inside custom-made dental trays. For a few hours a day, or overnight for a period of 2 weeks, you wear the trays over your teeth. You can expect a whiter and brighter smile.

Enlighten Evolution^™ teeth-whitening is a combined home and in-practice treatment. Depending on your teeth and the length of the treatment, patients can experience teeth up to 16 shades brighter, with long-lasting results.

Your dentist will recommend the whitening treatment option that is right for you during your initial consultation. Whitening treatments are designed to fit around your lifestyle with maximum convenience, safety and optimal results.

How long does the whitening effect last?

A whitening effect can last several months, depending on your individual teeth. The effectiveness and duration of teeth-whitening also depend on other lifestyle factors. These include the amount of tea, coffee and red wine you drink as well as eating coloured food and smoking.
