Anyone can suffer from tooth staining, and even those with the best oral hygiene routines can lose a little sparkle from their smile over time.
Whether your enamel has darkened with age or you’re an avid morning coffee drinker, teeth whitening in Glasgow could be the solution you’ve been looking for to restore your pearly whites.
We offer several at-home, in-practice or combination teeth whitening treatments that are sure to help remove stains for a brighter smile.
Treatment options include:
No matter which treatment route you go down, we’re confident that you’ll fall back in love with your smile.
The way teeth whitening treatment works depends on the avenue you go down, and when choosing a treatment, you should make sure it addresses the type of tooth staining you have.
There are two main types of staining:
Both at-home and in-practice treatments involve painting a teeth-whitening gel onto the teeth.
The active ingredient in the gel is a concentration of either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the enamel and changes the colour of the dentin (the layer of the tooth that sits beneath the enamel), or removes stains from the enamel itself.
If you’re unsure which treatment is right for you, our experts are always on hand and would be more than happy to advise.
During a teeth whitening consultation, we’ll assess the condition of your smile, the extent of any staining, and recommend the most suitable treatment for you.
Book your consultation today by calling the practice on 01416 321 378 or head over to our online booking system to view our availability and select the date and time that best suits you!
Teeth whitening is safe under the supervision of your private dentist in Glasgow.
Bleaching gels have a neutral pH level, but they can irritate your gums and the soft tissue in your mouth if they aren't used correctly.
For most people, teeth whitening produces excellent results. But, teeth whitening won't lighten teeth with dental restorations. It only works on natural teeth and superficial surface stains.
Teeth whitening Glasgow can exacerbate sensitive teeth, so if you suffer from sensitivity, your private dentist may advise against the treatment.
Whitening treatments are also not recommended for pregnant or nursing women because the impact of the whitening chemicals on the foetus or breast-feeding baby is unknown.
Many of our teeth whitening treatments are designed for use at home. If you opt for home-based whitening, you will still need to attend an initial appointment. Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to ensure you are suitable for the treatment.
They will also take an impression of your teeth and gums and have a custom-fit whitening tray made for you. Then, the treatment itself can take place on your own time and in the comfort of your own home.
Once you have your whitening tray, you can also purchase additional tubes of the whitening gel to top up your treatment as needed.
Teeth whitening in Glasgow is not a permanent solution for stained teeth. Your enamel remains porous, so food, drinks, and tobacco can still stain your teeth.
Your dentist can provide you with aftercare advice and recommend touch-up products you can use to keep your smile bright.
You can extend the lifespan of your teeth whitening procedure by practising good oral hygiene - which means brushing and flossing regularly - and visiting your dental hygienist for regular cleanings
