Our dentist will consult with you and discuss the options available, as well as any upfront costs involved, before undertaking any cosmetic procedures. We also take X-rays and highlight any areas of concern with an intra-oral camera so that an accurate diagnosis is made, and patients can see the extent of the dental concern before deciding to undertake treatment.

Teeth whitening is a procedure that lightens teeth to a more desirable shade. It won't instantly turn your teeth bright white, but it will lighten them enough to make a visible difference. Teeth whitening is a purely cosmetic procedure, with most people choosing to undergo this treatment to enhance their appearance and boost their confidence.

Teeth whitening is a procedure that could be done at home or at a beauty salon, but without a professional dentist who knows what they're doing, this comes with many associated risks and may not achieve the desired outcome, and it could even be illegal.

Teeth Whitening Techniques

At Aspire Dental, our qualified dentists use proven, safe techniques to brighten your teeth’s natural appearance. This is a cosmetic treatment that anyone can have as long as they do not have gum disease or crowns.

There are a number of options for you to consider when it comes to teeth whitening, with dentists and licensed beauty therapists both offering this treatment. Home tooth whitening kits are also available, but it's worth bearing in mind that they come with a number of risks, including harming your tooth enamel. For peace of mind and the best results possible, we advise that you visit a certified dentist.

The first method a dentist might offer you is a mouth guard that contains a bleaching gel. This requires them to take a mould of your teeth to create a guard that you will wear at home over the course of a few weeks. Your dentist will monitor the progress of the treatment during this period, as some courses can take longer than expected, depending on the gel used.

Another method is laser whitening. This is where a bleaching product is painted onto your teeth by a dentist, and a laser is used to activate the whitening. This is a faster process, normally taking about an hour.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening is generally not considered dangerous and can be a good option for most people. However, children under 15 shouldn’t get tooth whitening—this is because it can cause irritation due to them having a bigger pulp chamber. Also, if you are pregnant or lactating, teeth whitening is not recommended, as your teeth will likely be more sensitive than normal.

The main benefit of teeth whitening is that you can achieve a brighter smile while reducing staining or yellowing. If you want your teeth to appear lighter for a special event, like a wedding, or if the yellowing is just something that bothers you, teeth whitening can not only boost your appearance, but it may also put your mind at ease and make you feel more confident.

While the main aim of teeth whitening is to help you get your smile back, it also boasts the added benefit of helping to remove bacteria at the same time.

If you are looking for safe and effective teeth whitening procedures, make sure to get in touch with us at Aspire Dental. We offer the latest techniques and will ensure you are getting the best care and service possible. To get your teeth looking lighter again, make sure to get in touch or simply book an appointment through our site today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be able to have my teeth whitened?

When you approach us to consider teeth whitening, we'll consider your dental health, your oral hygiene, and the reasons why you want to improve the appearance of your smile. Patients who have strong oral care practices in place, are in good health and have slight discolouration or yellowing of their teeth tend to see the most benefit from a whitening procedure. Our team will work with you, your circumstances and your needs to identify the treatment that's right for you.
How white will my teeth get?

The degree of whiteness achieved varies from person to person and depends on the type of staining and the whitening method used. Professional teeth whitening procedures generally offer the best results. Your dentist will discuss with you what you can realistically expect.
How long does teeth whitening last?

The results of teeth whitening can last from a few months to up to three years. This largely depends on your lifestyle and dietary habits. Consuming staining substances such as coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco can diminish the results faster.
What are the side effects of teeth whitening?

Some people may experience tooth sensitivity and gum irritation after teeth whitening, but these effects are usually temporary and go away a few days after the treatment. If these symptoms persist or you experience severe discomfort, you should immediately contact your dentist.
