Teeth whitening Leamington Spa treatment puts the power back in your hands of how you want to present your teeth. The everyday wear and tear of life and your diet will slowly show on your teeth no matter how attentively you may brush or floss.

Peroxide-based treatment

Peroxide-based treatments use oxygen to alter the chemical structure of stain compounds on or in the teeth; this changes the way they absorb light, making them paler and less noticeable and “bleaching” them. If the enamel itself has become stained by a compound seeping into it, this is a method commonly used to resolve it.

Abrasion treatments

Abrasion treatments are advanced versions of the scale and polish with the aim of resurfacing the tooth. After removing the outermost few micrometres of the enamel, the newly revealed enamel surface is polished to a fine smooth finish.

Abrasion methods are most appropriate for tooth darkening caused by material attached to the outside of the teeth. If the enamel itself has had its colour altered, abrading its upper surface is unlikely to be effective.

Premium whitening with Enlighten

We provide teeth whitening Leamington Spa services using the Enlighten system; this allows us to have repeatable and predictable results both in the clinic and when facilitating at-home lightening. This lightening is a peroxide-based bleaching treatment and, therefore, it is not universally appropriate. Some people will benefit from patient treatments, but we have found it to be a highly effective method overall, depending on the cause of the staining.

Home systems

Home lightening is facilitated by fabricating personalised bleaching trays. This makes overnight bleaching far more convenient, as the gel is pressed against the teeth, giving less opportunity for leakage and requiring less overall gel for the same change in tooth shade. It also reduces the harm to sensitive gums that can be easily aggravated by bleaching products.

Dental whitening with white fillings

The porcelain used in veneers and crowns or the newer UV dental resins, which are a key part of white fillings and in situ-crowns, react significantly differently to oxygen bleaching than natural enamel. And any compound lightening to them would have an even more extreme response on natural enamel. So, short of replacing them, there is no effective way to alter their shade.

If your white filling or other dental prosthetics were attached some time ago, we would recommend that you use dental whitening to return the colour of your enamel to when it matched your prosthetics.

If you intend to have your enamel significantly lighter than its original or natural shade, you should inform us before having any white fillings so that a lighter resin can be used, and you can alter the rest of your teeth to match it.

Most complete solution

A set of veneers allows you to control the shade of your teeth permanently, providing new services to the most visually impactful front teeth. This is the most invasive solution for teeth whitening Leamington Spa but is occasionally required, especially with genetic conditions like denta-imperfecta, which alter the colour of the teeth, making veneering the only appropriate solution.
