Teeth whitening is a simple cosmetic treatment that uses safe bleaching agents to break down the molecules that cause staining. As those stains lift, your teeth look noticeably brighter. People choose professional whitening for all kinds of reasons – to tackle discolouration from smoking, coffee or tea, or just to boost their confidence with a fresher, brighter smile.
There are lots of ways to whiten your teeth, from at-home options like strips to professional treatments, including laser whitening. At Smil, we make it easy with bespoke in-person consultations or convenient at-home kits, so you can choose the approach that fits your lifestyle.
We’re excited to offer the latest dental whitening treatments, all carefully selected for their quality and ease of use. Right now, our top pick is Boutique Whitening™.
For whitening at home, we love Boutique Whitening™. It gives you the power of professional-strength products while letting you brighten your smile in the comfort of your own home.
Teeth whitening gels contain hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, which gently penetrate the enamel and break down the molecules that cause staining. This oxidation process lifts those stains, leaving your teeth looking brighter. During your whitening appointment, our dentists carefully apply these gels to target and remove discolouration safely and effectively.
Considering professional teeth whitening? At your next visit, your dentist will walk you through all the options. Whether you’re leaning towards an at-home kit or an in-practice treatment, we’ll help you choose the one that best suits your goals and lifestyle.
Once you’ve brightened your smile, it’s natural to wonder which foods you should steer clear of, especially in the first couple of days.
For the first 48 hours after professional whitening, try to avoid acidic or highly pigmented foods and drinks. That includes things like lemons, tomatoes, oranges, pineapple, red wine, tea and coffee.
A simple rule of thumb? Ask yourself: Would this stain a white T-shirt? If the answer is yes, it’s best to avoid it temporarily to keep your newly brightened smile looking its best.
Professional teeth whitening does a great job of lifting surface stains, but deeper, internal discolouration is a different story. It can be tempting to save money with over-the-counter whitening kits, but they simply aren’t strong enough to tackle stains below the surface. For true, effective results, especially with internal staining, a professional whitening treatment is the safest and most reliable option.
FAQs
Though it might seem dangerous to apply peroxide directly onto your teeth, dentists have been providing safe and effective whitening treatments for decades. Teeth whitening is an extremely safe procedure and very rarely causes side effects.
Any side effects which do occur are temporary and incredibly mild. These can include short-term teeth sensitivity and gum irritation.
The best teeth whitening option really depends on what you’re looking to achieve, and we’re here to help you choose what’s right for you. At Smil, we’ll talk through your goals, assess your teeth, and recommend the treatment that will give you the safest and most effective results – often including options like Boutique Whitening™. Call us on 01634 756 536 to book a consultation.
If performed by a professional teeth whitening dentist, the procedure should never hurt.
To maintain your sparkling white smile after your treatment, it’s important that you brush and floss your teeth consistently.
Wait at least a week after the treatment before using a whitening toothpaste to minimise sensitivity immediately after the procedure. Incorporating a whitening toothpaste into your oral care routine will help prolong the results of your professional teeth whitening service, keeping your smile radiant for longer.
