Information About This Service
Teeth whitening is growing increasingly popular as more people desire to have a whiter, brighter smile. Here at Borrowash Dental Care our dentists are highly trained to deliver excellent teeth whitening services that is tailored to you.
What does it involve?
Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile by lifting stains and discoloration. At Borrowash Dental Care, we provide a home whitening system that gives you control over how much you whiten, at a pace that suits you. The treatment involves having custom-made mouth guards created, which you can fill with whitening gel and wear in the comfort of your own home — making the process simple and convenient.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Studies and research shows that teeth whitening is very safe as long as you stick to dentist-approved methods.
What are the side affects of teeth whitening?
Most patients who have teeth whitening treatment do not experience any side effects at all. However, as with all dental procedures, there are a few minor effects that can sometimes occur:
- Tooth sensitivity – Some people may find their teeth become more sensitive during the whitening process. This is usually temporary and can often be managed by using a desensitising toothpaste.
- Gum irritation – If the whitening gel comes into contact with the gums, slight irritation may occur. This is usually mild and resolves quickly once the gel is removed. Following the whitening instructions carefully helps reduce the risk of this happening.
- Variation in results – Everyone’s teeth respond differently to whitening, so results can vary. While many patients achieve the brighter smile they are hoping for, some may find the outcome is not exactly as expected.
