REMOVE STAINS, SMILE BRIGHTER

The UK is the home of the great cuppa – so it’s little wonder that teeth whitening is fast becoming one of our most popular cosmetic dental treatments at A1 Dental. While tea, coffee and wine – both white and red – are the main offenders, any food that is richly coloured, or high in sugar and acid, will ultimately stain your teeth. You may also notice your teeth looking yellower as you get older – a natural part of the ageing process. Through safe and professional, prescription bleaching, including the renowned Enlighten and Pola systems, teeth whitening turns back the clock on staining. It is, quite literally, a brilliant solution!

FAQs

Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?

Almost. There are a few patients for whom whitening may not be advisable, which is why it’s imperative to only have teeth bleaching done by a qualified dental professional.

Why get my teeth whitened at the dentist?

The dentist is your only option if you want your whitening to work and you want it to be safe. Unlike over-the-counter or online products, professional whitening means the dentist can prescribe the highest-strength bleaching agent for you, yet adjust it if it causes any problems. This means you’ll get the best possible results with the least discomfort.

Can you whiten crowns or bridges?

No, the whitening gel only affects natural teeth – so if you are having dental restorations such as crowns and bridges, make sure you talk to your dentist about whitening too. It’s recommended that whitening is carried out first so that restorations can be colour-matched to your newly brightened teeth.
