We offer two types of tooth whitening here at Advance, in chair ZOOM! Whitening and a take home kit. Take Home bleaching kits are made up of a short initial appointment where impressions of the teeth are taken, they are then sent to a Lab for them to custom make trays. These trays are either worn at night or during the day (patient preference) the normal time to see results is 7-10 days. This is a longer lasting option with the added option to top up whenever is convenient. ZOOM! whitening is a two hour session with the option of a take home kit to reach desired results. The results are immediate and you will leave with a brighter smile. This service is depending on suitability.

We currently have £50 discount on our dentist recommended professional home whitening kit. This all in one kit achieves great results over 2-3 weeks and includes dental visits to monitor your whitening procedure.
1. Whitening is safe
If carried out by a trained dental professional, whitening is perfectly safe. Based on their knowledge of your oral health your dentist will discuss with you the options available, decide if tooth whitening is appropriate for you and develop an overall treatment plan that gives the desired result. You’ll get to see on a chart what shade your teeth are before the treatment and what shade you’re likely to achieve. At the end of the treatment the dentist will show you the actual result so you can understand how effective it was. You will also see when you look in the mirror! 2. Only trained dental professionals can whiten teeth It is illegal for anyone other than dentists or their teams to carry out teeth whitening. Anyone else offering teeth whitening (e.g. beauticians, hairdressers, and salon staff) won’t have the right training and knowledge, could permanently damage your teeth and gums and can’t help you when something goes wrong. 3. The preferred option Whitening won’t remove the surface of your teeth or change their shape. It’s often a better option than alternatives, such as veneers, because it doesn’t involve permanently altering the tooth’s structure and is easy to look after. 4. Selecting the right option for you Your dentist is trained to know what whitening products will be safe for your teeth and gums. Products provided by non-dentists often do not have enough safety data and evidence to support their use; this can result in burned gums and/or blistered lips or even more serious consequences. Using products that are not appropriate for you will produce poor results. |
5. How it works
A carefully-controlled concentration of bleach is applied to your teeth using specially-made trays that fit in your mouth. Your dentist will be able to discuss with you the level of whitening you want and give you an idea of how many treatments you may need to achieve the shade you’re after. Like hair and skin, teeth vary in colour. Some are yellower or darker than others, even when they are quite healthy. Teeth tend to get darker as people get older. Teeth sometimes become darker if their roots have been damaged or diseased and the ‘nerve’ has died. 6. What to expect You may experience some sensitivity for a short time during your treatment but this is normal and will soon fade away after completion. 7. Over the counter kits might not be safe The products you can buy online or from high street shops often fail to declare the precise chemicals used so it’s very difficult to assess their safety. Because of this they should not be considered safe. These products won’t produce the same good results you can expect by visiting your dentist. Tooth colour can be lightened with Hydrogen Peroxide (bleach) and how strong the dose needs to be will be decided by your dentist. |
