Tooth whitening is usually the best way of making teeth whiter, and causes no permanent tooth damage when the correct techniques are used. Tooth whitening is a dental treatment and must only be done under professional supervision: it is illegal and, more importantly, potentially dangerous for anyone other than a dentist to undertake tooth whitening.
At Harbour Dental we offer Zoom Whitespeed In-Surgery tooth whitening or a home whitening kit alternative.
Zoom Whitespeed is our quickest, easiest way to effectively whiten teeth achieving up to 6 shades lighter in only 1 hour and this is carried out in the surgery.
Alternatively we also offer home tooth whitening where we provide you with custom-fitting tooth whitening trays and you safely perform the tooth whitening procedure in the comfort of your own home.
A small proportion of teeth can’t be whitened but other options, such as porcelain veneers, may be a suitable way to make these teeth whiter.
Professional whitening is usually the most effective, but also the most expensive. Home whitening kits offer good results and are more affordable. OTC products offer mild whitening but may not be as effective. Consider your budget, desired results, and sensitivity level when choosing.
Yes, generally safe when done correctly. However, some people experience sensitivity, especially with home whitening. Consult your dentist if you have concerns.
No, it won’t work on all types of stains or discolouration.
Sensitivity is most common, usually temporary. Consult your dentist if you experience severe pain, gum irritation, or other concerns.
Smoking, coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods and drinks can affect results. Consider a “white diet” during treatment.
Generally, teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 16 as their teeth are still developing.
