Spring is in the air, which means weddings, family gatherings and other social occasions are on the increase. If you’re one of the many people who feels self-conscious at such events because of your smile, our friendly team at Wimbledon Dental Care can help.
When asked what they would change about themselves if they could, the majority of people say their teeth. Even with a great dental health regime, our teeth become stained over time, through drinks such as coffee, tea, cola or red wine and through habits such as smoking, as well as from the side effects of certain medications, and even part of the natural ageing process.
Teeth whitening treatment is one of the quickest and easiest cosmetic dental treatments available, is suitable for most patients, and is the perfect way to give your smile that extra boost before a special occasion.
There is a plethora of products available that claim to give you whiter teeth, but the key thing to remember is that you should only have tooth whitening treatment under the supervision of a qualified dentist. Hygienists can also provide teeth whitening, but only on a dentist’s prescription.
While the treatment is suitable for the vast majority of adults, there may be certain medical reasons why tooth whitening is not suitable for you. For example, if you have tooth decay or gum disease, you need to have this treated first. Our dentists can help you with this before you have your teeth whitened. Kits bought online or over-the-counter will be at best ineffective and at worst damaging to your teeth.
We use the tried and tested Zoom teeth whitening system. This system is safe and at Wimbledon Dental Care our patients have enjoyed a 100% success rate. Most of our patients opt for a single intensive whitening session in the practice, followed up by some top-up treatment using bespoke tooth trays and whitening gel at home. It is also possible to carry out the treatment yourself at home, using the trays and gel, which your dentist will demonstrate for you to ensure the best results.
