QWhat does tooth whitening do?
Tooth whitening can be a highly effective, yet very simple way, of lightening the colour of teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a colour change, but lightens the existing colour.
QWhen might whitening not work?
Whitening can only lighten your existing tooth colour. To change to a specific chosen shade veneering is another option. Whitening also works on natural teeth. It will not work on any type of 'false’ teeth. This includes dentures, crowns and veneers. If dentures are stained or discoloured, it may be worth visiting the dentist and asking him or her to clean them. Stained veneers, crowns and dentures may need replacing.
Q How much does it cost?
At present a simple case of at home tray whitening for both upper and lower teeth is currently available for £195.00.
For further information about tooth-whitening please book an appointment with one of our Dentists by phoning 028 9061 3322.
