Discover Smile Enhancement Treatments from The Dentists at Old Market

What Dental Teeth Whitening Treatments are used?

At The Dentists Old Market we use the most effective teeth whitening gels available. When used with close-fitting, custom fitted trays for a few hours a day, or overnight for about 2 weeks can produce a significantly whiter and brighter smile.

If you are self-conscious about the colour of your teeth you can speak to one of our qualified dentists for more information about our available treatments, including at home treatments that will leave your teeth sparkling for a confident smile.

Our expert dental team will first create a custom mouth tray to the shape of your teeth to ensure your treatment is both comfortable and effective for the entirety of your treatment. Following this you will be advised on how to use the teeth whitening gel at home, administering the treatment for a few hours each day or overnight for two weeks depending on your preference.

Is Teeth Whitening Available for everyone?

Teeth whitening is a treatment that involves placing chemical gels onto your teeth for a fresher, whiter smile. Due to the use of chemicals within teeth whitening treatments it is not recommended for the following dental patients:

• Patients with dental restorations (including fillings, implants, crowns and bridges)
• Women who are pregnant or lactating
• Patients under the age of sixteen
• Those allergic to bleaching agents found in dental teeth whitening gels (such as peroxide)
• Patients with sensitive teeth
• Those who experience periodontal disease, tooth decay, exposed roots or cavities

The best candidates for teeth whitening treatments are patients with healthy teeth and gum tissues as teeth whitening for any other patient may not be safe or effective depending on the severity of their dental issues or restorations.

Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?

There is no permanent solution to whiter teeth, but teeth whitening treatments are close, lasting for up to three years with the proper care.

Teeth whitening doesn’t last for long for those who smoke, drink red wine, tea or coffee, or for those with genetic dental disorders that affect the colour of your teeth.

Regular flossing and brushing, as well as hygienist appointments all help you to keep your brighter smile for longer.
