Teeth whitening: a guide to the UK’s most popular smile booster

Teeth whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure in the UK. Garden View Dental Care in Buckinghamshire offers high-quality, effective, and safe whitening treatment – the perfect way to add a quick boost of brightness to your smile.

Stained and discoloured teeth can easily get you down. They can cause you to lose confidence in your smile, which can impact on your relationships with others.

The most common cause of tooth staining is an inadequate dental hygiene routine. This enables plaque to build up on the surfaces of your teeth, leading to unpleasant brown discolouration. By visiting your dentist and hygienist, plaque stains can be removed with a professional scale and polish. Your hygienist can also help you devise a better home cleaning routine to help stop the problem from recurring.

If your teeth are improperly aligned, this can make it very difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene, no matter how hard you try. Crooked and crowded teeth often have areas that are tricky to clean properly at home, and this, too, can mean stains build up. At our Buckinghamshire dental practice we offer discreet teeth straightening using Six Month Smiles cosmetic braces, which can make it much easier to keep your teeth healthy and clean in as little as half a year.

Even those with good hygiene find their teeth can be stained by lifestyle and dietary factors, such as smoking, or drinking a lot of coffee or red wine. Delivered by a dentist, teeth whitening is a safe and reliable way to remove these common stains – as well as those caused by fluorosis and some medicines.

Buckinghamshire teeth whitening

There are two teeth whitening options at our Buckinghamshire clinic, and your cosmetic dentist will discuss both when you come to Garden View for a consultation.

Home whitening

Carried out under your dentist’s supervision at home, this option involves using custom-made mouth trays and whitening gel, and takes approximately two weeks to complete.

Power whitening

Performed by your dentist here at our Buckinghamshire clinic, power teeth whitening requires just a single, hour-long session to complete.
