Teeth Whitening

Teeth can become stained or darkened over a period of time due to a number of factors such as age, smoking, or drinking tea and red wine. If you are brushing and flossing twice a day, but still feel that your smile is not as bright as you would like, then our professional teeth whitening treatment may be of an interest to you.  

At Tavistock Drive Dental Care, we only use dental products that are supported by extensive clinical studies and that we would be happy to have in our own mouths. For this reason, we are proud to provide our patients with a choice of either Colgate Luminous Whitening, a Professional Take Home Teeth Whitening Kit from Boutique® or Advanced Teeth Whitening from Enlighten®.

Conveniently Whiten your Smile with Colgate Luminous

Colgate Luminous is an easy to use professional whitening treatment that does not require the use of whitening trays or whitening gels, reducing sensitivity and gum irritation. You can start treatment immediately, with only 10-minute LED light wear, and see the results of a brighter smile in 10 days.

Brighten your Smile at Home with Boutique Whitening

Your first step when getting your teeth whitened is an initial consultation with your dentist – to ensure you are dentally fit for whitening treatment before we begin. If so, a dental impression is then taken and custom trays made from this impression and so that your new trays fit your teeth exactly. This will ensure that you get a very even and thorough coverage of gel on your teeth whilst wearing your trays  so that optimum results can be achieved.

Finally, we will show you how to use your new whitening trays and gels at home as well as provide you with 'instructions for use and aftercare' to take away. As a guideline, we advise that it usually takes up to 7 to 10 days to see any noticeable effects of treatment and the level of whiteness you achieve will depend on your diet and the porosity of your teeth.
