Teeth Whitening

Professional tooth whitening is a minimally invasive way to improve the colour of your teeth.

Dr Nayan will scan your teeth and make you bespoke whitening trays, similar to a mouth guard. He will then show you how to place a special whitening gel in these trays at night time. You will tend to whiten your teeth for two weeks at home which will improve the colour of your teeth. In some cases, Dr Nayan will advise you whiten for longer to get a better result.

Tooth whitening can lead to some sensitivity during and after treatment however this tends to settle down after the treatment is complete and Dr Nayan will always advise a sensitive toothpaste whilst you are whitening your teeth.

Tooth whitening needs to be maintained and you may need to ‘top it up’ every 6-12 months at home. This is due to staining from food, drink, smoking, etc. Every patient will need to top it up differently based on their lifestyle.

It is important to note that existing white fillings, porcelain bridges, crowns or veneers will not change colour with tooth whitening. These may need replacement in order to improve the shade if necessary.
