Professional Tooth Whitening in Leicester
Tooth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment that safely lightens the colour of your teeth through a bleaching process. While results vary from patient to patient, most people achieve several shades of whitening, revealing a fresher, more radiant smile.
The effects of tooth whitening can last for months, but it’s important to note that lifestyle habits such as drinking coffee, red wine or smoking can cause staining over time.
At Carisbrooke Specialist Dental Centre, tooth whitening is carried out only by qualified dental professionals, including dentists, hygienists and therapists. During your consultation, your dentist will assess your suitability for whitening and discuss the best treatment option for you.
What happens during tooth whitening?
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fitted mouth guard. You will then use this at home with a bleaching gel, applying it daily for two to four weeks. Some gels allow for longer wear, up to eight hours at a time, reducing treatment to about one week.
It’s common to experience some tooth sensitivity during the treatment. This is usually temporary and can be managed with desensitising toothpaste recommended by your dentist.
We prioritise your safety and comfort throughout the whitening process. Our team will provide full instructions and support, ensuring you achieve the best possible results while maintaining your dental health. If tooth whitening is not suitable for you, we’ll discuss alternative cosmetic options to help you achieve your smile goals.
Is tooth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed by a dental professional, tooth whitening is safe and effective.
How long does tooth whitening last?
Results vary but typically last several months. Avoiding staining foods and drinks can help maintain your new smile.
Will tooth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during treatment, which usually subsides shortly after finishing.
Am I suitable for tooth whitening?
Not everyone is suitable. Your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss if whitening is right for you.
