Tooth Whitening Dentists Carluke Glasgow

Tooth whitening is perhaps the most commonly recommended cosmetic dentistry procedure. It can reliably and successfully lighten teeth which have darkened due to age changes, antibiotics or staining by tea/coffee/red wine etc

The technique involves taking impressions of your teeth and getting laboratory made custom bleaching trays.

Tooth whitening gel (Carbamide Peroxide) is then applied to the trays which are fitted to the teeth. The trays hold the gel on the teeth and with time the teeth lighten. The more often you apply the gel the lighter the teeth will go.

What causes tooth discoloration?

- There are many causes including aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, teas, colas, tobacco, red wine etc.  During tooth formation consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.


Is Tooth Whitening Safe ?

- Yes, when monitored professionally and the instructions are followed there will be no damage to teeth, enamel or gums.

How Long Will It Take ?

- Generally the effects can be seen within one week for the In-office technique and in about one month for the home bleaching technique. Some stains like those caused by antibiotics may require a prolonged course of treatment.


How long Will It Last ?

- This depends on your lifestyle ( tea, coffee, red wine etc) but generally the effects should last up to 2 years. We advise patients to keep their bleaching trays and additional tubes of the tooth whitening gel ( £20 ) can be purchased for a 'top-up' as required.


Are There Any Side-Effects?

- Some patients report a temporary increase in sensitivity to hot/cold. This is never permanent and stops once the whitening is complete.


Will It Affect My Fillings or Crowns ?

- No, there will be no colour change to existing fillings (silver or white), crowns, veneers, inlays, bridgework etc. Some restorations may need to be replaced if they do not match the new colour of your teeth and we will do our best to advise which ones this may be, but the final decision can only be assessed once the tooth whitening has been completed.
