Teeth whitening in Bournemouth is a treatment that you may want to consider. Many people wish that they had whiter teeth. There are many reasons why the quality of your tooth colour can decline over time, even with a very good hygiene practice. Teeth can become stained with certain foods and drinks, as well as the habit of smoking. This treatment can help teeth become brighter and whiter in appearance, something that many people could benefit from as a morale booster. Many people, as a result of tooth stains, become unhappy with the appearance of their teeth. Tooth whitening treatment can help you combat this and help you feel better about your smile again. The article will run through why you may possibly consider this treatment alongside how the tooth whitening process works.

How does this treatment work?

Teeth whitening in Bournemouth can be offered as a tray system. This allows you to use this treatment in your own home. We have found from the many years of experience in this field that this treatment yields the best results. These results can be replicated time and time again and are generally excellent. The treatment can work on many types and severities of staining, however, this treatment does work best on lightly stained teeth. Teeth that have more to correct will still benefit, it just means that the process will take longer.

We use White Dental Beauty, as the source of our home-based equipment. If you are considering this treatment you will first meet with our consultant, Hannah. After a discussion with her you can then decide to take the treatment forward. If you choose to do so you will need to have impressions taken of your teeth, therefore ensuring that the trays will be specifically moulded to your mouth.

Your trays will then be built for you and you will be provided with White Dental Beauty’s teeth whitening gel. This gel will allow you to achieve the best level of results. Sensitivity is taken into consideration to help this treatment be as safe and comfortable as possible. The gel also leaves your mouth feeling minty fresh.

Why should you consider this treatment?

Teeth whitening in Bournemouth is a very common treatment, so patients can be assured that they will be well taken care of at our practice due to our expertise. The products used in this treatment have been tried and tested and are safe to use. Each treatment is specially moulded to each patient’s teeth, this means that each individual smile can be better cared for. This treatment will only take two appointments at our practice as you carry out the majority of treatment at home. The full course of treatment takes a mere 2-3 weeks. An added benefit of this process is that due to you having the treatment at home you can continue to top up the treatment on your teeth as the colour changes. Patients who have had this treatment have reported that they feel much more comfortable with their smile post treatment. It is for this reason, coupled with the excellent results that this treatment can yield that we think we have so many patients happy they have undergone tooth whitening.

No more filters

In recent years an increasing number of new patients are seeking out cosmetic dentistry solutions such as cosmetic teeth whitening, to brighten their smiles, and give their teeth a brighter and healthier appeal. It is speculated by many that the rationale behind this recent peak in dental involvement is due to the increase in social media documentation. As an increasing amount of us are continually documenting and sharing our everyday lives, it may have caused a number of us to become more conscious of the quality of our smiles, which, in turn, has caused an increase in the number of those seeking treatments such as cosmetic teeth whitening in Bournemouth.  Whether or not this rationale is based on fact remains unfounded, but whatever the reasoning is, here at Queens Park Dental Team, we are delighted to be providing a growing number of new patients with treatments which have the potential to improve both their smiles, and their self-esteem.

Withering whiteness

Contrary to what you may imagine, the vast majority of those who seek out cosmetic teeth whitening from us here at Queens Park Dental Team, do not require treatment as a result of poor oral hygiene. There are, in fact, a number of reasons why a patient may seek out cosmetic whitneting to brighten their smiles. One of the most common, and sadly unavoidable, reasons for seeking teeth whitening, is age. As you age, the natural enamel of your teeth can become faded or yellowed – regardless of how often, or how well, you brush and floss. Additionally, there are certain lifestyle choices which can cause the enamel of your teeth to become yellowed, one of the most detrimental of these being smoking and chewing tobacco, as the nicotine within it can cause dark stains on your teeth. Other causes of staining can result from drinking black coffee, tea or red wine. Typically, any fluid which has the potential to stain your clothing can also stain your teeth if consumed regularly. Taking certain types of medication can also result in the enamel of your teeth becoming yellowed or discoloured, as can consuming foods with high levels of acidity.

Clearing things up

With all this in mind, you may be prone to the feeling that a dull, yellow smile is a predetermined, unavoidable fate that lies ahead. However, here at Queens Park Dental we have the solution. Through cosmetic teeth whitening, we can fully eradicate years of superficial staining and discoloration, and leave you with a brighter, whiter smile. Teeth whitening from us here at Queens Park Dental Team is carried out by Hannah, our specialist teeth whitening expert. She provides patients with a home based whitening kit which affords patients the ability to carry out the whitening process from the comfort of your own homes, and at a time which is convenient to you. The treatment process consists of a custom made retainer being constructed from within our practices, providing patients with a bespoke retainer which fits perfectly around your teeth. Following that you would be given the White Dental Beauty’s whitening gel which is applied to the retainer. You are then left to carry out treatment at a time which is convenient to you. This method of teeth whitening can have a massively positive impact on the self-esteem of those who seek it, as you have the ability to complete the process at a time which suits you and tailor the degree of whiteness that you wish your smile to be.

Growing grins

Across the country, and all over the world, the past few years have brought about an  unpresidented resurgence in the amount of people seeking out cosmetic dentistry solutions. People of all ages and demographics are increasingly turning to cosmetic dentistry to achieve a more cohesive, bright, and healthy looking smile to boost their self-esteem. Never before have we seen such a peak in interest here at Queens Park Dental Team, and we welcome these new patients with wide, open arms. Whilst a rising amount of patients are seeking out treatments such as teeth whitening in Bournemouth, there are still a number of potential new patients out there who refrain from seeking such treatments due to fears or concerns about safety. As such, we’ve done our best to address some of these concerns, to help put your mind at ease and allow you to take the next step in brightening your smile.

A sensitive issue

Often, one of the main concerns that causes potential patients from seeking out cosmetic tooth whitening is how treatment can damage the enamel on their teeth and increase sensitivity. The reason behind these concerns comes from the rise in over-the-counter home whitening kits, which often do not inform their users of the correct amount of time to wear the retainers. This, sadly, sometimes results in people damaging their enamel as they wear the retainer for far too long in the hope of achieving a whiter smile. At Queens Park however, we use a home-whitening kit which is clinically tested and approved. We use the White Dental Beauty method of teeth whitening, which involves the application of a thin layer of peroxide-based whitening gel within a custom-moulded retainer. This retainer is fitted around each patient’s unique dental structure, by our teeth whitening specialist Hanna. Thereafter, patients are free to take their retainer home and continue the whitening process over around two weeks. Over this time, patients can gradually see the effects of the gel when they wear their retainer – and it gives them the opportunity to tailor how white they wish their smile to be, and mould the treatment around their own schedule and the sensitivity of their teeth.

Reasons for seeking treatment

Discoloration or staining to a patient’s teeth is generally divided into two distinct forms. The first, and the most common form of staining is known as ‘Extrinsic’ discoloration. This form of staining is generally removable through cosmetic teeth whitening, and is caused when foods, beverages, or certain lifestyle choices such as smoking or chewing tobacco, result in superficial stains to a patient’s teeth. The consumption of high-acidic foods and poor oral hygiene can also result in extrinsic discoloration or staining. The second form of staining is known as ‘Intrinsic’ discoloration, which is when the actual inside of the tooth has become stained. This is a far rarer form of staining which is generally caused by taking certain medications, or a medical condition. Whilst this form of staining can be brightened by cosmetic teeth whitening, it generally requires more treatment than extrinsic discolouration. However, through our method of home-whitening, patients can gradually achieve a whiter, healthier looking smile which will renew their sense of self-esteem and confidence, and keep them smiling for some time to come.

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.

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.

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.

Are you self conscious about your imperfect teeth? Teeth whitening in Bournemouth is the quickest way to a brighter smile.

A rising tide

Nowadays, we are living in an increasingly image conscious world. With the ever-expanding world of social media, and the consistent documentation of every aspect of our lives, more and more of us are taking steps to improve our overall aesthetic appeal. In recent years, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented rise in the amount of patients, both young and older, who are seeking cosmetic dentistry solutions from us here at Queens Park Dental Team. Those who do, do so to achieve a straighter, healthier looking smile. Treatments such as teeth whitening in Bournemouth have never been so popular as a rising amount of new patients are taking the initiative to improve their smiles, and boost their self-esteem.

Faded smiles

Often, those who seek cosmetic teeth whitening from us here at Queens Park Dental Team are not doing so due to neglect or poor dental hygiene. There are innumerable factors which, over time, can result in the natural enamel of a patient’s teeth becoming dulled or yellowed, which can often lead to their self-confidence and social well-being suffering. It is said that the main causes of tooth whitening can be divided into two distinct categories and these are defined as ‘extrinsic’ and ‘intrinsic’ staining. Extrinsic stains are the most common. These are when the surface enamel on a patient’s teeth – which is the outermost layer of the tooth – becomes stained or yellowed. This form of staining is what we generally remove through our teeth whitening treatments at Queens Park Dental Team. The number one cause of extrinsic staining on a patient’s teeth is lifestyle choices with smoking, chewing tobacco, and drinking black tea or coffee being the worst offenders. Generally speaking, any substance which can stain your clothing has the potential to stain your teeth. This includes a number of food products and sauces, such as soy and balsamic vinegar. Acidic food and drink products also erode the enamel on a patient’s teeth, making them more vulnerable to staining.

Brightening up your day

However, whilst this may all sound a bit doom-and-gloom, and those who suffer from stained or discolored teeth can often feel self-conscious, we have the solution here at Queens Park Dental Team. We can eradicate staining and discoloration from your teeth in as little as two appointments. The process of teeth whitening from us is a tray-based system which allows you to carry out treatment from your own home. The basis of our tray-based system involves a consultation period between the patient and Hannah, our lead cosmetic teeth whitening specialist. Then, providing the patients feel comfortable and clued in on the process, an impression will be taken from within our practice – from which a unique retainer will be created. Thereafter, you will be given your uniquely moulded retainer, and the White Dental Beauty’s teeth whitening gel. This gel contains a patented, peroxide-based formula, which has been designed to maximise the results of the treatment in a way that is perfectly safe and will not damage the integrity of the patient’s teeth. Also, it has a smooth, minty fresh taste. Over the following weeks, patients wear their retainers at a time which is convenient to them, and will slowly begin to see their smiles whiten and brighten until they shine like the stars they truly are.
