Understanding Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening works by applying a peroxide-based gel to the tooth surfaces, where it penetrates enamel and breaks down the staining compounds that cause discolouration. Custom-made dental whitening trays ensure the gel is evenly distributed and retained against the teeth for the correct duration, maximising effectiveness while minimising contact with the gums and soft tissues.
Results vary between patients depending on the nature and depth of staining, original tooth shade, and individual response. Intrinsic staining, such as that caused by tetracycline, may not respond as well and alternative cosmetic treatments might be more suitable. Temporary sensitivity during and shortly after whitening is common and resolves quickly; we provide specific guidance to manage this effectively.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for teeth whitening in Knowle, Solihull, if any of the following apply:
- Stained or discoloured teeth: Whether caused by ageing, diet, tea, coffee, or tobacco, professional whitening can effectively lighten surface and sub-surface staining to a noticeably brighter shade.
- Healthy teeth and gums: Teeth whitening should only be carried out on patients with no untreated decay or active gum disease that could increase sensitivity or adverse reactions.
- No recent restorations on front teeth: Dental whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or composite bonding; existing restorations should be considered before treatment to ensure a consistent result.
- Realistic expectations: Teeth whitening can achieve impressive shade improvements, but results vary between individuals; a consultation helps set expectations and identify the most appropriate approach.
