Give your smile a new lease of life with tooth whitening. As our teeth naturally become darker with age, whitening gives a more youthful and brighter look to your smile. At West End Dental Clinic, we offer Poladay and now also Enlighten home whitening, giving flexibility on how you wish to brighten your smile.

Did you know?
The UK tooth whitening market is worth an estimated £40 million

Taking its lead from the US, the UK tooth whitening industry has soared in recent years, as more and more people desire the ‘perfect smile’.

The effects of these procedures can be very effective but in the wrong hands are potentially harmful.

How does whitening work?

Tooth whitening uses a safe bleaching process involving small concentrations of carbamide peroxide. This creates a chemical reaction that releases oxygen molecules which break down stain molecules in the enamel and dentine. Over regular use, the whitening agent breaks down more and more stains until a beautiful white shade is achieved after a couple of weeks.

Why choose home whitening?

Dentist-supervised home whitening is the safer and more affordable whitening treatment available. There is less chance of sensitivity and if there is an issue, you have the control to stop the treatment when you want. As the home whitening trays are custom-made using scans of your teeth, they fit snugly and ensure an even result.

What does the treatment involve?

  • We will take either digital or alginate impressions of your teeth so customised whitening trays can be produced to fit.
  • When ready, you will wear these at home with a bleaching gel for a specified length of time each day or at night.
  • After wearing the trays for a few weeks, you will attend a follow-up appointment to check your teeth have reached the desired shade.

Although this treatment is carried out at home, we still keep a close eye on your teeth to lessen any gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.

Please note, teeth whitening will only work on natural teeth and will not be effective on restorations such as crowns, veneers or dentures.
