Teeth discolour for a number of reasons including our diet, oral hygiene, trauma and lifestyle.
Our trained cosmetic dentists understand the importance of a bright and healthy smile to boost your confidence and overall sense of well-being. If you desire a whiter brighter smile, our knowledgeable dentists are here to help. During your consultation, we will discuss all the available teeth whitening options with you, ensuring you make an informed decision, best suited to fulfil your needs and goals.
Rest assured that teeth whitening is a safe and widely practiced procedure. The whitening gel we use contains carbamide peroxide, which is a trusted and effective ingredient for brightening smiles. Millions of people worldwide have safely used this gel to achieve the dazzling results they desire. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we will guide you through the teeth whitening process to ensure optimal results while maintaining your dental health.
To begin the teeth whitening process, our dental team will take an impression or digital scan of your teeth. This allows us to create custom-made trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. These trays are designed specifically for your individual whitening procedure, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Once the custom trays are ready, a special whitening gel is placed inside them. You will be instructed on how to properly fit the trays over your teeth. Typically, the trays are worn overnight while you sleep, allowing the whitening gel to work on your teeth gradually. The snug fit of the trays ensures that the gel remains in contact with the teeth for optimal results.
The whitening gel used in the trays contains carbamide peroxide, which breaks down during the treatment. As the gel breaks down, it oxidizes the stained compounds present in the enamel, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. It's important to note that the structure of your teeth remains unchanged and undamaged during the whitening process.
To maintain your newly whitened smile, practicing good oral hygiene and regular brushing, especially after consuming staining foods or beverages, is crucial. With proper care, your whitening results can last for years.
We also highly recommend carrying out a “top-up” procedure for one night every two months to help maintain the brightness of your smile. For individuals who regularly consume coffee, tobacco, or red wine, monthly top-ups may be necessary to sustain the desired level of whiteness. Scheduling regular trips to one of our hygienistfor stain removal may also be recommended.

The cost of the laser procedure will depend on case complexity and management. Simple single tooth gum recontouring is from £85, while frenectomies are from £295. You will need a full assessment prior to any costing for any laser procedure.
Gentle massage of the treated skin is beneficial. However, you should not touch the area for at least six hours following treatment. The correct massage techniques will be demonstrated during your consultation.
In most cases, root canal treatment is successful and the tooth should settle over a few days and no longer cause pain. However, there is always some risk depending on the condition of the tooth, your oral hygiene, and the biting forces on the tooth.
Risks and complications include:
Mild temporary pain/discomfort due to inflammation of the tissues surrounding the tooth.
The tooth might darken over time. There are procedures available which may lighten the tooth if this occurs.
Tooth fracture may occur due to reduced strength and durability of the tooth. Thi may lead to tooth extraction. This risk is reduced when a crown fitted.
Uncommon risks and complications:
The fine metal files used to clean inside the root canals may break during use and remain in the tooth, this may or may not affect the success rate of the root canal treatment.
Depending on the size and shape of the roots, there is some risk of creating a hole
in the side of a tooth root during the cleaning process, this is called a perforation.
If you experience persistent pain, return to your treating dental practitioner.
If you develop an infection return to your treating dental practitioner.
Root canal tratment might fail. The tooth may require further treatment or even extraction.
This varies from individual to individual, but most people tend to have three to four treatments over the course of the first year. The duration of effect often increases with each repeat treatment; eventually you may only require one maintenance treatment per year.
With modern anaesthesia and techniques, root canal treatment is generally a pain free procedure. However it is likely that the patient will get some post-operative discomfort after the anaesthetic has worn off. In the vastmajority of cases this can be controlled with regular over the counter pain relief such as ibuprofen and paracetamol.
A Dental Implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. It serves as a stable foundation for attaching prosthetic teeth, offering a durable and natural-looking solution.
