Teeth whitening in Norwich

Why should you choose to have your teeth whitened by a qualified dentist?

The practice of dentistry is limited to GDC registrants. It is the Council’s view that applying materials and carrying out procedures designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of teeth amounts to the practice of dentistry. So too does the giving of clinical advice about such procedures. Therefore all tooth whitening procedures, including bleach and laser treatment, are seen as the practice of dentistry by the General Dental Council. The carrying out of dentistry by non-registrants is a criminal offence and the Council will prosecute any persons undertaking this activity in appropriate cases.

What is tooth whitening?

Tooth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental treatment in the world. Recent studies suggest that 95% of the population want whiter teeth. Teeth can become stained or discoloured from frequently consuming tea, coffee or red wine, from smoking, from antibiotics or simply due to the ageing process. Every single patient regardless of starting colour, age, lifestyle or dietary habits, is suitable for some for of teeth whitening

The procedure is simple; the dentist takes a special super accurate impression of your teeth and sends this to a dedicated lab where new “super sealed” bleaching trays are made. The dentist will prescribe a whitening gel which is placed into the tray and worn by the patient.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Research and clinical studies show that under the supervision of an appropriately trained dentist, teeth whitening is completely safe. The special whitening gels we use are of the optimum concentration to deliver results which are predictable and long lasting, and are being readily used by millions of people worldwide

Are there any side effects?

Side effects are unlikely, although some people could experience temporary sensitivity during the treatment. Usually, these symptoms disappear 1-2 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. We provide all our patients with desensitising serums to ensure a comfortable tooth whitening journey

How long does tooth whitening last?

The teeth will always be lighter than they were. Recent research shows the effects can last up to 3 years. The whitening effect on your teeth does however depend on you, and can be affected by age, oral hygiene, lifestyle choices and diet. Some patients need periodic top-ups to 'touch up' the brightness of their teeth. If you are willing to wear your trays for 1 night every 1-2 months, your results will last indefinitely
