As we age, our teeth may begin to discolour and appear yellow and stained. The natural ageing process and your lifestyle (such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine, soft drinks and / or smoking) can impact the colour of your teeth. Tooth Whitening can transform the effects of ageing and discolouration; helping you recapture a beautiful white smile.
"This has to be the best dental practice in the land. Never before have I been smiling on my way in as well as on the way out - and I have a smile I am proud to show the world! I feel confident and trust my dentist 110%"
Tooth Whitening is one of the most commonly requested procedures in dentistry today.
It can be the quickest, most effective way to enhance the appearance of your smile. The Leeds City Dentalcare Nite White™ tooth whitening system will help to remove most stains with a gentle action to oxidize (bleach) stains within your teeth. This process will help restore your teeth to their natural colour.
A bright, white smile is associated with youth and health. A whiter smile is one of the most dramatic changes a person can make to their appearance. At Leeds City Dentalcare we have been helping to improve the lives of our patients for many years, providing safe, effective treatments which have the ability to transform your smile.
There are several factors that can cause teeth to become discoloured, including ageing, consumption of certain foods and drinks (such as coffee, tea, and red wine), smoking, and poor oral hygiene. While these are the most common factors, there are many lesser-known causes of tooth discolouration. For example, certain medications may cause the teeth to become darker in colour. Antihistamines, antipsychotics, and high blood pressure medications may all lead to tooth discolouration due to chemicals that become deposited within the enamel of the teeth over time. Beyond these medications, cancer treatments such as radiation therapy may also contribute to changes in tooth colouration.
Professional bleaching involves the use of special whitening products that contain higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The dentist will apply these products to your teeth and activate them with a special light or laser for maximum whitening effect. This method can produce dramatic results in a single visit, but you may require multiple visits to achieve your desired level of whitening.
Yes, teeth whitening is a safe procedure when done under the supervision of a dental professional. However, if you choose to use at-home whitening kits, it is important to follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your teeth or gums.
The results of teeth whitening can vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment used. Generally, the effect of teeth whitening lasts between 6 months to 2 years.
Teeth whitening is generally safe for most people, but it is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with sensitive teeth or gums, or those with severe tooth decay or gum disease.
Some people may experience temporary side effects such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation after undergoing teeth whitening. However, these side effects usually subside within a few days.
While there are several natural remedies that claim to whiten teeth, such as baking soda or apple cider vinegar, there is no scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. It is always best to consult with a dental professional before trying any home remedies.
To maintain your teeth whitening results, it is important to practice good oral hygiene, avoid consuming staining foods and drinks, and visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.
Yes, you can. At-home teeth whitening is a convenient and cost-effective way to get rid of stains, yellowing and discolouration, as well as to give your smile a brighter look. Though the results may take longer than professional treatments such as in-office bleaching, the effects are still noticeable. The process starts with a consultation where your dentist will assess your oral situation and discuss possible solutions for you. To ensure maximum safety, they will then suggest which products would be suitable for your case.
