Teeth Whitening in Edinburgh

We all know that a beautiful smile can make a huge difference to a person's confidence and self-esteem. Studies have proven that people with whiter teeth smile more readily and make more eye contact while conversing.

IS TOOTH WHITENING SAFE?

Tooth whitening is safe when prescribed by a qualified dental health professional.

You should never have your teeth whitened in beauty salons or hairdressing salons as these are unregulated and could cause long-term damage to your teeth and gums.

WHY WHITEN TEETH?

With time and age your teeth have yellowed
Your teeth are stained from things like drinking coffee & tea and from smoking
You've always wanted a beautiful white smile to boost your confidence and self-esteem

The dentist will use a high quality dental lab to manufacture a bespoke set of whitening trays for you. These are filled with the whitening gel and then placed on your teeth. It is imperative that these trays are made correctly and the fit is spot on. Otherwise, the whitening process and end result will be affected.

This depends largely on your diet and oral hygiene. Some patients go years without whitening again. Others like to ‘top up’ their whitening more regularly. It is really a personal choice. As long as your trays still fit well, you can simply buy more whitening gel from us as needed.

Whitening can cause heightened sensitivity of teeth during the procedure. This normally subsides again once you stop whitening. Therefore if your teeth are already sensitive, you should expect this to intensify while you whiten your teeth. We can discuss techniques to reduce sensitivity at your consultation and help reduce this.

Pricing varies on the treatment type you go for but can start from as low as £199

Once you start whitening, you can start to notice the difference within days. We normally advise whitening for at least 2 weeks (from as little as 2 hours per day).
