Teeth Whitening Dentist: What To Expect

Only dental whitening uses prescription gels and custom made trays - contact us for options, prices and pay monthly finance.

In the search for a brighter, whiter smile? Your teeth whitening dentist at Yorkshire Dental Suite is here to help. Choose from one of many treatments to achieve a gleaming smile that radiates confidence.

Professional dentist teeth whitening

Carried out in just one appointment (although patients with severe discolouration may need multiple before seeing results), the process includes painting your teeth with a high-grade bleaching gel. A special light or laser is then shone onto the teeth to activate the whitening ingredients.

Certain dental practices will then provide you with an at-home whitening kit to further enhance the vibrancy and longevity of your treatment. Something important to note is that, if you are looking to have professional teeth whitening at the dentist, be sure to choose a qualified administrator who is legally able to carry out the procedure.

At-home teeth whitening kit

A dazzling smile can be achieved from the comfort of home. Using 16% carbamide peroxide, a concentration 32 x more potent than non-prescription kits found online or over the counter, our industry-leading set delivers results in as little as 72 hours.

In your kit you will also find custom-made whitening trays that have been built using 3D scans of your mouth. Resembling a mouth guard, these trays fit snugly over the teeth to ensure perfect, patch-free whitening.

Dental bonding

This incredibly popular procedure is your fast-track ticket to a perfect straight white smile. Nanofill Composite Bonding®, Yorkshire Dental Suite’s exclusive treatment, uses a tooth-coloured resin to disguise chips, cracks, small gaps and discolouration.

Powered by our proprietary material (Nanofill™), your dentist first hand-sculpts the resin to the teeth, before curing it with a UV light. The resin is then shaped to the desired finish. The appointment takes less than four hours to complete and requires no drilling or injections, making it a popular treatment amongst nervous patients.

Porcelain veneers

Want a more long-term solution for your dull, discoloured smile? While it is not recommended purely for the purpose of teeth whitening, porcelain veneers give your smile a Hollywood makeover that lasts 15 years or longer with care.

The irreversible procedure involves removing a miniscule amount of the tooth’s enamel. A beautiful porcelain shell is then placed on top, transforming the tooth’s shape, size and appearance. Veneers also address years of wear and tear.

Hygienist appointments

Certain hygiene treatments may give your smile a more white and uniform appearance. For example, thanks to its deep cleaning action, a simple scale and polish has the ability to remove surface stains. Please note that if your discolouration is more severe, you will need to seek a more potent solution.

Treatment comparison

Knowing which treatment to choose for your smile transformation can be confusing. We have created the following table to help you make an informed decision.

Please note that every treatment requires an in-person consultation (£95) to ensure that you are eligible for teeth whitening.

Conclusion:

Teeth whitening is not available on the NHS as it is deemed a cosmetic need, rather than a medical necessity. This means you will need a private dental clinic, like Yorkshire Dental Suite, to receive treatment. Contact us today to kickstart your journey to a more confident smile.
