How do teeth whitening trays work?

When watching movies, do you ever wonder how film stars get their teeth so white? You might look after yours properly, but no amount of brushing and flossing leaves you with that dazzling smile.teeth-whitening-bournemouth

Our teeth naturally discolour and become dull as we get older, but that shouldn’t mean you should live with a smile you hate.

Teeth whitening in Bournemouth have made a desirable smile more attainable, especially at our reputable practice, Queens Park.

Come and chat with our specialised dental practitioner, Hannah, if you are serious about changing your appearance.

Our method to teeth whitening

There are options to whitening your teeth, but using custom trays are the most effective method that is gentle on your mouth.

People react to having whitening their teeth differently and experience various side effects. Our approach is gradual and less harsh on your teeth. We also offer aids to help provide relief for the discomfort you experience.

How does the trays system work?

If you’re a suitable candidate for teeth whitening, Hannah will take dental impressions of your teeth so that our lab technicians can create customised sets of trays that fit the shape of your mouth exactly.

Each tray, one for your top teeth and one for your bottom, are pre-filled with a teeth whitening gel that contains trace amounts of Hydrogen Peroxide. Place them over your teeth a couple of hours every night and see the difference in a few weeks!

What is the difference between over-the-counter trays and ones prescribed by dentists?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that is considered the quickest way of transforming how you look.

DIY kits can be bought over-the-counter, but there are risks in implementing the procedure yourself, without the professional guidance by our highly qualified cosmetic dentist, Hannah.

Trays that you buy at a pharmacy or drugstore aren’t made to fit your unique mouth, and therefore, run the risk of leaking. Not only do your teeth not receive the bleach they need, but your gums also become aggravated.

Prevent this from happening by consulting with our dental practitioner, and receiving customised trays that whiten your teeth safely and effectively.

Are there risks involved?

As we have already mentioned, people’s reactions to having their teeth whitened vary. Patients with more sensitive teeth might experience more discomfort. However, this tenderness is temporary and can be relieved with painkillers.

We put measures in place to make your teeth whitening experience as painless as possible with professional teeth cleaning. We will also treat gum disease and other mouth conditions before giving the green light on treatment.

If this pain lasts for more than a couple of days, consult with our dentist to rule out more significant dental issues that need addressing.

Is teeth whitening in Bournemouth permanent

Unfortunately, teeth whitening does not last forever, but there are certain practices one can undertake to ensure they last a while.

For one, watch what you consume by avoiding food and drink that stains, such as red wine and coffee. Try to reduce your smoke to ensure a whiter smile for longer.
