Frequently Asked Questions & Testimonials

Here are a few frequently asked questions about Tooth Whitening in general.

Can Whitening/Bleaching damage my teeth?

Bleaching treatment is thought to have very little risk, except for some short term soreness of the gums (bleach can irritate gingiva) and a mild increase in tooth sensitivity may occur, but it shouldn’t last long.

Why do you/ should you have your teeth cleaned before bleaching?

Getting a scale & polish prior to bleaching is recommended for two main reasons:-

  • Clean teeth are always ideal. You don’t want to whiten dirt on teeth – you want whitened teeth! Bleaching agents must come into intimate contact with the tooth enamel in order for them to work, which is why the sticky film of plaque that forms over teeth daily, must be removed beforehand.
  • Due to slight post-operative sensitivity following bleaching, a good clean may be more comfortable prior to the procedure.

    • How long will bleaching last?

    How long you can maintain your whitened teeth all depends upon the individual. If original discolouration is due to over consumption of tea, coffee, tobacco, red wine etc and you do not change your behaviour, it is likely that whitening will not last long. In most cases, the whitening procedure is very effective and the patient is pleased with the results, but it is not permanent so will require topping up, but can last between 2- 5 years.

    Testimonials


    Yeah, I'm more than happy with the results. I've been smoking and drinking for 10 years and got rid of all the staining in one go. You take the trays off in the evening and your teeth are noticeably brighter and then when you go to brush them in the morning it's like ’oh yeah, my teeth are white!’

    Everyone was friendly and the staff were really helpful, it was actually pretty fun!
    C. Sharples

    I was really pleased with the treatment, I had a white mark on one tooth that made the others look really brown but now they all match. Also, I can reuse the trays if my teeth ever need topping up.

    The staff were very polite and saw me straight away, they explained everything to me so I was perfectly comfortable the whole time.

    I love my blue case! My teeth are white and I have somewhere to put my makeup :)

    The dentist and nurses were lovely, definitely recommend them!
    M Clarke

    I was worried because my bottom teeth looked a lot darker than the top ones but using the Saber kit has made them match so I'm well happy.

    I'm normally a bit scared at the dentist but the receptionist was really nice and made me a cup of tea. Definitely good for nervous patients.
