It’s popular for a good reason

All around the world, the most popular form of cosmetic dentistry is teeth whitening. In Bournemouth, we find that many people come to us for teeth whitening because it is a quick and easy way to give their smiles an upgrade, especially if they have got an important event or celebration coming up. This could be something like a wedding or an interview for a job where you really need to look your best.

Teeth Whitening in Bournemouth At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, teeth whitening treatments with Hannah Neve will help your teeth get their gleam back, getting rid of stains and general discolouration. You are in safe hands when you come to us. Hannah has been the dentist here since 1991 and has a special interest in improving people’s smiles.

In Bournemouth, teeth whitening is achieved using a simple, easy system that you take home to use. Here’s how it works:

Your treatment

First you visit us for a consultation with Hannah, so that she can make sure that teeth whitening is a suitable treatment for you. Teeth whitening will not work on everyone. If you have some kind of artificial tooth work already in your mouth, then having your teeth whitened is not a great idea. This is because teeth whitening in Bournemouth cannot alter the colour of porcelain false teeth, dental implants or veneers. It would whiten the natural teeth around them and then the artificial teeth would seem discoloured. Better to leave well alone.

However, if your teeth are all your own, then Hannah will take impressions of your teeth in order to create trays that exactly fit your mouth. Your trays will come with a supply of White Dental Beauty whitening gel. Queens Park Dental Team uses this particular brand of gel because it is made to a patented formula that reduces sensitivity, hydrates the teeth and has a lovely minty flavour. Altogether, teeth whitening in Bournemouth will involve two visits to us and treatment taking two to three weeks. You will also be able to top up your whitening if the brightness starts to fade in the future.

The benefits of teeth straightening in Bournemouth

Do crooked or unevenly spaced teeth cause you problems? Having straighter teeth may allow you to stop hiding your smile, dreading photographs or feeling awkward in social or professional situations. Did you also know that correctly positioned teeth are healthier? This is because they are easier to clean. Also, properly aligned teeth work better as the bite functions correctly. Hannah Neve at Queens Park Dental Team offers teeth straightening in Bournemouth which enhances oral health and gives you a great smile to boost your confidence.

Modern options for straighter teeth

Many people miss out on corrective work as a child and dismiss it as an adult due to concerns over procedures which they believe are intrusive, unsightly, uncomfortable and time consuming. However, advances in technology mean that having straighter teeth does not rely on having a mouth full of metal for long periods. Hannah is proud to provide her patients with discreet teeth straightening in Bournemouth. In-Line invisible braces use a series of clear plastic trays to gradually guide your teeth into place. They are almost undetectable and made of smooth plastic that fits your mouth exactly. The aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning so fit into your lifestyle easily. You will be provided with a new set every four to six weeks. These are made to fit the changing position of your teeth and continue to guide them into the right place.

Get results fast

Once you have decided on your dream smile, Hannah wants to make sure that you achieve it as soon as possible using teeth straightening in Bournemouth. The In-Line invisible braces system works very quickly and you could be enjoying your new smile in 5-10 months. This is considerably faster than traditional braces treatment, which can take up to two years. As treatment time is very rapid, you also cut down on costs. At the end of the process you will be provided with a retainer to keep your teeth in the correct position.

Know before you go: teeth whitening in Bournemouth

In recent years, teeth whitening has become widely accessible. However, the more popular it gets, the more money there is to be made from harmful whitening methods readily available over the counter. If you’re considering whitening your teeth, visiting the dentist is the way to go. They will guide your through the procedure and help you brighten your smile safely and effectively.

At Queens Park Dental Team, we have been practising teeth whitening in Bournemouth for many years and have helped many patients restore the brightness of their smile. Our lead dentist, Dr Hannah Neve, has a special interest in improving people’s health and appearance through cosmetic dentistry and will help you achieve the smile you have always wanted.

Why do teeth turn yellow?

Teeth can turn yellow for many reasons. While it is usually caused by old age and genetic disposition, patients also develop yellow and discoloured teeth from coffee, wine and other highly-pigmented foods and drinks. Teeth also become yellow with smoking and certain medicines. Finally, discoloured teeth can be the result of excessive fluoride intake.

Our whitening services

At Queens Park Dental Team, we use the White Dental Beauty system for our home-based teeth whitening treatment. You will first have a consultation with Hannah to determine whether this is the right treatment for you. If you decide to proceed with the treatment, we will take impressions of your teeth and create custom-made whitening trays to fit your teeth.

As soon as your trays are ready, we will provide you with White Dental Beauty’s teeth whitening gel. This gel is created with a unique formula, customised to your needs and the condition of your teeth. The ingredients help the teeth remain hydrated throughout the treatment, minimising sensitivity and discomfort.

Treatment time typically lasts two to three weeks and you will need to visit the dentist twice. We also give you the option to top-up your whitening, if your teeth become stained and discoloured in the future.

Discreet teeth straightening in Bournemouth

For years, teeth straightening has been associated with metal braces and teenagers. Now, with the latest developments in dentistry, adults too can benefit from teeth straightening without having to resort to metal brackets and wires.

At Queens Park Dental Team, we appreciate that some patients require a little more flexibility than traditional metal braces offer. In-Line invisible braces provide patients with an aesthetically conscious alternative option to traditional teeth straightening in Bournemouth. Our lead dentist, Dr Hannah Neve, will examine your teeth and jaw thoroughly and help you determine whether invisible braces are the right option for you.

How does it work?

Our In-Line clear aligners are made in Germany from a patented powerful twin layer plastic material. The treatment consists of a series of transparent, removable aligners that you switch out about every four to six weeks. These aligners are custom-made with specific and very accurate calculations to gradually move your teeth into their correct place.

Invisible braces can move your teeth quickly, with most treatments lasting between 5-10 months. Finally, In-Line clear aligners are more cost-effective than traditional braces.

Benefits of invisible braces

There are many benefits to In-Line clear aligners compared to traditional teeth straightening treatments. Not only are the aligners almost invisible, making them aesthetically pleasing, but they are also more hygienic than other types of teeth straightening. This is because you can remove them at any time in order to eat, drink or brush and floss your teeth. This way, the risk of getting food stuck in your teeth or aligners is non-existent. Moreover, invisible braces are very comfortable to wear. Since they are made of smooth plastic and they are customised to fit your teeth perfectly, they are less likely to cause irritation or discomfort. They also require fewer adjustments than traditional braces, which is translated to fewer visits to the dentist.

The truth about teeth whitening

Are you happy with the whiteness of your teeth? Over time, the ageing process, smoking, or certain foods and drinks can cause teeth to become discoloured and aesthetically unpleasing to the eye.

Fortunately, it is possible to lighten the colour of your teeth for a healthier, brighter smile. Teeth whitening used to be a luxury procedure carried out only by the rich and famous, but in recent years it has blossomed into a much more available and affordable service.

Teeth Whitening in Bournemouth Due to the risks involved by treatments from non-professionals, it is now illegal for anybody other than a dental professional to carry out teeth whitening procedures in the UK. It is best to ignore the adverts in beauty salons and set out to find the best dental professional to suit you.

Who do I choose?

If you are looking for professional teeth whitening in Bournemouth, look no further than Queens Park Dental Team, as we offer a truly exemplary service. We are a trusted and reliable dental practice who understand how to get the most brilliant colour possible out of your natural pearly-whites.

At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, teeth whitening can be offered either in practice, or we can create a customised tray for you to use for more gradual effects at home.

Is it safe?

The British Dental Health Foundation states that if carried out by a trained and regulated dental professional, there is very little risk associated with teeth whitening, if any at all. Some of our patients may suffer light sensitivity and discomfort around the gums for a short period of time, but this will disappear after a few days.

Aftercare is important. In the days after your treatment, you will need to ensure your newly whitened teeth stay white. This involves cutting down on the activities that create discolouration in the first place and following the aftercare instructions we will give you during your treatment.

If you would like to find out more about having teeth whitening in Bournemouth, contact our friendly reception team, who will happily book an initial consultation for you to discuss your needs, and address any worries you may have.

A beautiful smile is easier than ever

Some people are lucky enough to have naturally straight and beautiful teeth. Others may have some form of dental defect that can make them feel uncomfortable and unhappy with their appearance. Well, it’s time to say goodbye to these defects with modern and contemporary teeth straightening in Bournemouth, using a treatment called In-Line clear aligners. They make it possible to correct teeth that are too far apart or teeth that are overcrowded. Think how much more confident you will feel with a beautiful new smile with the help of In-Line at Queens Park Dental Team.

What makes the system so different?

In-Line is almost transparent and at the same time gently moves the teeth. It consists of a set of removable clear plastic braces for your teeth straightening in Bournemouth. This means your teeth are corrected and repositioned without the need for uncomfortable and unsightly traditional fixed metal braces.

Can I have them?

The system is suitable for our patients who are at least 15 years of age. The system can correct almost all cosmetic cases of crowded or gappy teeth. Many of our patients also find that In-Line treatment leads to an improvement in the maintenance of good dental hygiene and therefore an overall improvement in their dental health.

How do they work?

In-Line clear aligners are made in Germany from a patented powerful plastic material. Each aligner moves teeth gradually and a series of aligners are required to subtly move teeth into their desired position.

Each clear aligner will need to be worn for four to six weeks. They are worn on average for 20 hours a day and can be removed for eating, drinking and for social events if necessary. They are transparent, virtually invisible to other people and are very comfortable to wear.

Teeth straightening in Bournemouth has never been so easy at Queens Park Dental Team. This is because you can easily and quickly remove the aligners while eating, drinking and for daily oral hygiene, meaning you are not faced with any dental inconveniences in your daily life, as you can brush and floss your teeth as usual.

You can have a sparkling smile

Do you love your what you see in the mirror? Most of us would like to smile with confidence, but tooth discolouration can prevent that from being a reality. Poor dental hygiene can result in teeth that are less than gleaming, and sometimes even the best kept teeth can be dull. Exposure to fluoride, antibiotics, coffee, wine, smoking, damage and ageing can all change the colour of the enamel. For patients who see Hannah from Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, teeth whitening is a great option for improving the tone of teeth. Even badly stained teeth can be whitened, but you may need to allow slightly longer for treatment.

A happier and healthier smile

Celebrity smiles are a great example of the results of teeth whitening. Bournemouth patients can benefit from the same process in the comfort of their own home. Some people would love to enhance their appearance for a special occasion such as weddings and parties while others like the feeling of having a great smile every day. Having teeth whitening in Bournmouth is a very simple process that can have a big impact on your looks and how you feel about social interactions. Depending on your lifestyle and eating habits, your whiter teeth can last for six months. Any original staining is unlikely to reappear so you can be confident that you can enjoy your new look. If it does, Hannah and the team can provide you with top-up treatments.

How does it work?

The first stage to teeth whitening in Bournemouth is an appointment in which we assess the type of staining and take impressions of your teeth. We use a hydrogen peroxide gel, which is held in place against your teeth using a custom-built plastic tray. The gel gently changes the colour of your teeth without affecting the natural surface of the tooth. The gel has a pleasant mint flavour and contains special ingredients which keep your teeth hydrated and minimise the risk of sensitivity. Usually you would have two appointments with us and the full course of treatment takes under three weeks.

You can enjoy dazzling teeth and be proud of your smile. Teeth whitening in Bournemouth could be the solution for you.

The beauty of straighter teeth

If you have crooked or unevenly spaced teeth, then you may be familiar with feeling self-conscious about your smile. For hundreds of our patients in Bournemouth, teeth straightening has been a great option for improving their appearance and giving them the confidence to smile with pride. Did you also know that straighter teeth are healthier? This is because they are easier to clean and properly aligned teeth work better as the bite functions correctly. Hannah and the Queens Park Dental Team offer teeth straightening in Bournemouth, which allows our patients to have great oral health and smile freely.

Discreet options for straighter teeth

The good news is that new techniques mean that having straighter teeth does not rely on having a mouth full of metal for long periods. We are proud to provide our patients with almost invisible teeth straightening in Bournemouth. We use In-Line Invisible Braces, which consist of twin clear plastic layers that gently move your teeth into the correct position. There are no attachments to the teeth, so they are comfortable and very unobtrusive. The aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning your teeth and work very rapidly, making them a cost-effective option.

What to expect from treatment

This procedure involves custom made bleaching trays. Special bleaching gel is then applied to these trays. The gel can be used for a few hours in the day or overnight, until the bleaching process is complete. Patients are ‘in control’ of their treatment under the supervision of Hannah Neve, the dentist at Queens Park Dental, who has a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry.
