Teeth Whitening in East London
Teeth whitening is a popular way to lighten the natural shade of your teeth. At Advance Dental Care, whitening is provided as a professional treatment planned around your smile, rather than a one-size-fits-all product. Results vary between individuals and depend on the starting shade and the cause of any discolouration.
How Professional Whitening Works
Professional whitening uses a peroxide-based gel to lighten the natural tooth shade. After an assessment to confirm your teeth are suitable, the dentist provides a whitening plan — often custom trays worn for a set period at home. The strength and duration are tailored to your teeth and the result you would like to achieve.
Is Whitening Suitable for Everyone?
Whitening is not suitable for every patient. Existing dental work such as fillings, crowns and veneers do not change colour with whitening, so these may need to be replaced afterwards to match. Your dentist will assess your teeth and discuss what whitening can realistically achieve before you begin.
What to Expect
At your consultation the dentist examines your teeth, discusses your goals, and confirms whether whitening is appropriate. If so, custom trays are made and you are shown how to use the whitening gel at home. Some sensitivity during treatment is common and usually temporary. Your dentist will advise on managing this.
Maintaining Your Result
Whitening results are not permanent. Habits such as smoking and drinks like coffee, tea and red wine can affect how long the result lasts. Occasional top-up treatment and good oral hygiene help maintain a brighter shade. Your dentist will advise on a maintenance routine.
