Professional teeth whitening is a service designed to enhance the look of your smile, boosting your confidence and giving you a reflection you can feel proud of.
A quick fix for those whose teeth make them want to hide their smile from the world, professional teeth whitening uses a bleaching gel set into a tailormade mouth guard, which can be worn as preferred at home.
The beauty of teeth whitening is that it doesn’t change your smile; it simply enhances it.
With treatment starting at your Ilford dental practice before moving to the comfort of home, teeth whitening at Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics combines the potent effect of a dentist-led treatment with the ease of an at-home kit.
An initial consultation enables Ilford teeth whitening specialists to understand your goals and ideal results, with a comprehensive scan then used to create a mould that perfectly fits your teeth. This mould is pre-filled with a potent whitening agent, as prescribed by your dentist in accordance with your goals.
Results are noticeable within 7 – 14 days, depending on the severity of discolouration at the start of treatment. Patients can schedule top-up whitening packages as required, wearing pre-filled whitening trays as and when they need to.
Professional teeth whitening services in Ilford are available as a standalone treatment or packaged up with aligning treatments and other services. The underlying benefit in all cases is that teeth whitening enhances the look of teeth, often boosting confidence and self-esteem, both effectively and efficiently.
When compared with accessible high-street solutions, professional teeth whitening is more effective thanks to the potency of the bleaching agent used. Prescribed in a series of pre-filled mouth guards, it’s equally versatile and can be accessed as an overnight solution or worn during the day. This makes professional whitening, overseen by a dentist but managed from the comfort of your own home, ideal for busy patients.
Finally, with our Ilford dentists offering consultations to understand the ideal results of patients before teeth whitening, all treatments are customisable in intensity and duration. Depending on the severity of discolouration and your end goal, whitening kits can be adjusted in potency and frequency of wear, tailoring results to each client.
At Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics in Ilford, we offer whitening under two main packages:
The right package for you depends on the colour of your teeth and the extent of surface staining at the start of the treatment, as well as your budget and ideal results.
All our teeth whitening Ilford packages are built around at-home treatments.
The process starts in the clinic, where we conduct a scan that informs the design and creation of a tailored mould. This mould is used to create a tooth guard which perfectly fits over your teeth, lined with a series of whitening gels which activate and clean the tooth’s surface during wear.
Depending on lifestyle and the sensitivity of their teeth, clients can wear the aligner day or night, for the specified time, until they are happy with the results.
It doesn’t matter how effective your teeth whitening journey is; if you don’t effectively care for your brighter smile, then over time it will once again become stained and dull amid the discolouration of everyday life.
As part of our commitment to clients, we provide comprehensive aftercare support and information, including all the food and drink dos and don’ts you need in order to protect your gleaming smile.
Teeth whitening, carried out under the professional supervision of a trained dentist in Ilford, but with the convenience of at-home mouth guards lined with whitening solution, starts at £400 for a full kit. The Enlighten package starts at £600 for the full kit.
While teeth whitening treatment does not hurt, it can cause some sensitivity. Those who experience particularly sensitive teeth can talk to their dentist about the right approach to whitening and the best schedule for wearing their mouth guard, whether that’s for shorter periods or overnight.
You can expect to see a noticeable lift in the brightness of your smile anywhere between 7 and 14 days after treatment.
It’s important to note that whitening mouth guards can be removed, and so you should be able to eat and drink normally.
However, it’s important to understand that certain foods and drinks cause or exacerbate discolouration, with many consumables (like coffee and red wine) leaving stains and dulling the effects of your whitening efforts.
Professional whitening is prescribed and overseen by a dentist, with pre-filled whitening mouth guards given to patients for use at home.
DIY and high street kits do not benefit from the same tailored approach and are not backed by the safety of a professional dentist, plus the results are limited, owing to the diluted bleaching solution.
