Have you looked in the mirror and noticed that your teeth have lost their brightness? This can happen for many reasons, like too many cups of coffee or just natural ageing. Over time, our teeth lose their whiteness and can begin to show signs of a life well-lived.
There are things you can do to prevent teeth staining, like avoiding smoking, reducing cups of coffee, and brushing your teeth thoroughly twice a day. However, if you are unhappy with the shade of your teeth and wish to enhance their brightness, there are ways to remove stains and achieve a brighter smile.
Sadly, most high street whitening products are not effective enough to brighten your smile. Instead, we recommend booking a teeth whitening session with our cosmetic dentists in Northampton.
In this blog, we’ll discuss how our skilled team can rejuvenate your smile and help you regain the confidence that comes with a brilliantly bright set of teeth.
Why Might You Want to Consider Teeth Whitening?
If you often avoid smiling openly, masking your joy by covering your mouth, then this treatment has the potential to elevate your confidence and empower you to share your smile in photos and social settings.
Teeth whitening can restore your smile’s brightness and give you a more youthful appearance. A whitened smile also shows that you care about your well-being, making you more attractive to others.
A bright smile is a powerful communicator of positivity, instantly making you appear more approachable and friendly. We understand the importance of these social connections and believe that enhancing your smile through teeth whitening not only revitalises your confidence but also positively impacts your overall perception and interaction with others.
Benefits of Expert Teeth Whitening
There are many benefits to having professional teeth whitening with our Northampton team. Firstly, compared to other treatments we offer, the results are immediate, and you can achieve a whiter smile in as little as a one-hour visit to our practice. Moreover, the results can last for years so long as you care for your teeth and avoid foods and drinks that cause staining. If you ever need a top-up to maintain your results, we also offer extra whitening gel syringe options.
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure suitable for most of our patients. It is a non-invasive treatment that doesn’t involve drilling or permanent changes to your tooth structure. However, if you have sensitive teeth, teeth whitening may not suit you. The bleaching agents used in the procedure can worsen your sensitivity, causing discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth but still want to brighten your smile, please consult our team, and we can work on treating your sensitivity or suggest alternative treatments.
Furthermore, there is no downtime required after teeth whitening, and aftercare is minimal. We suggest protecting your teeth from the harsh elements during this time of the year, so please wrap up with a scarf or shrug to shield your mouth from the cold weather. Additionally, we recommend that you use a desensitising toothpaste after teeth whitening.
Will My Teeth Still Look Natural?
A common worry among our patients considering teeth whitening is the potential for an unnatural, overly white appearance. We understand the importance of achieving a natural aesthetic, and our experienced dentists specialise in crafting personalised outcomes.
With us, you can trust that your teeth whitening experience will result in a shade that complements your overall look. We tailor the strength of bleaching agents to each unique case, striking the perfect balance between removing deep stains and maintaining a naturally radiant smile.
Teeth Whitening at Cliftonville Dental
We offer the highly effective Philips Zoom Whitening system, which is one of the best teeth whitening solutions available in the UK. With Zoom Whitening, we can remove stains and brighten your teeth up to 7 shades whiter, giving you the stunning smile you’ve always wanted.
Depending on your choice, your teeth can be whitened either in-house at our dental practice in Northampton or from the comfort of your own home after an initial consultation to create your whitening trays. We will work with you to deliver a teeth-whitening experience that is tailored to your smile goals and preferences.
In-House Whitening: Our in-house whitening treatment requires only one visit to our practice and can produce stunning results in under an hour. Our dentist will apply the Philips Zoom whitening gel, which contains hydrogen peroxide, to your teeth. This gel is then activated using a special chair-side LED lamp, allowing it to penetrate deeply and remove stubborn stains.
At-Home Whitening: If you would like to whiten your teeth at home, we offer at-home teeth whitening with Philips. Firstly, we will schedule you for a consultation with our dentist to discuss your goals. During the consultation, our dentist will examine your smile and take a digital impression of your mouth to create your custom whitening trays. You can then take the trays and the Philips whitening gel home, which you will wear for up to 2 weeks. Although the results are not as instant as with in-house whitening, you will see a noticeable improvement in the colour of your smile after three days.
Price
The starting price for expert teeth whitening at our Northampton practice is £297, with additional whitening gel syringes available for £39.
