How This Service Works

Teeth brightening involves applying a whitening agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to the surface of the teeth. This agent breaks down stains into

Our Colgate At-home Teeth Whitening Kits

Colgate is a tried-and-tested brand used by professional dentists all over the world. Because of this, we are proud to offer high-quality, at-home teeth whitening kits from the brand, which provide our patients with a number of unbeatable benefits. Not only is our at-home whitening option much safer and less invasive when compared to other popular whitening methods (such as in-chair whitening, which essentially dries out the tooth enamel to achieve results), but it’s also highly effective, with patients seeing results in as little as 5-6 days.

Patients are then able to place a small drop of the whitening liquid into the tray for each tooth that requires whitening, using the syringes provided. The tray is then worn for a period of approximately 30 minutes each day, after which patients are advised to brush their teeth with a wet toothbrush to remove any residual whitening gel.

The treatment works by using hydrogen peroxide to rapidly break down intrinsic and extrinsic stains on the tooth’s surface, whilst enhancing retention and preventing dehydration of the tooth. Within days of commencing treatment, you’ll start to see that brighter and more beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.

The Importance of Check and Clean Beforehand

Before undergoing teeth brightening, it is essential to have a dental checkup and professional cleaning. This ensures that there are no underlying dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, that could be worsened by the whitening process. A professional cleaning also removes plaque and tartar build-up, which can hinder the success of the treatment, and ensures the whitening agent is applied to a clean surface for even results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can get teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is generally suitable for adults aged 18 and over who have healthy teeth and gums. It is a popular cosmetic procedure for individuals looking to enhance the appearance of their smile by removing stains and discolouration.

Will I experience sensitivity?

One common side effect of teeth brightening is increased tooth sensitivity. This occurs because the whitening agents can temporarily make the enamel more permeable, allowing external stimuli (like hot or cold temperatures) to reach the nerves inside the teeth. This sensitivity is usually temporary and can be managed with desensitising toothpaste or other products recommended by your dentist.

Are there any foods and drinks I should avoid?

After teeth whitening, it is important to avoid certain foods and drinks that can stain the teeth. These include the following:

Coffee and Tea: Both are high in tannins and can easily stain teeth.
Red Wine: Another beverage high in tannins that can cause discolouration.
Berries: Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries have strong pigments that can stain teeth.
Tomato Sauce: Its acidity and deep red colour can lead to staining.
Dark Soda: Contains acids and colourants that can stain teeth.

Avoiding these items, especially in the first 48 hours after whitening, helps maintain the treatment’s results and prolongs the brightness of your smile. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to your dentist will also help keep your teeth looking their best.
