Celebrities like Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta Jones and Britney Spears have all experienced how effective tooth whitening can be and it is one of the most popular dental treatments with patients today. But what exactly is tooth whitening, what is involved and is it suitable for all?
Tooth colour is very individual: it can darken as we get older and is affected by food and drinks like tea, coffee, red wine and by smoking. Whitening can be a really effective way to lighten your teeth by a number of shades. It lifts off stains from the enamel and works on natural teeth. If you have fillings, crowns, veneers or dentures on your front teeth, these may need to be renewed to match your new tooth colour. At Smile Lounge we can whiten your teeth at the practice in just over an hour. We also offer the option of a home kit for you to attachive great reasults at home. How long the effect of treatment lasts varies: it won't last as long if you smoke or consume foods with colouring (eg; curry, red wine). Whitening toothpastes may help to make your professional whitening last longer. Book a consultation with one of our dentists to see how whitening can change your smile.
