Teeth whitening in Milton Keynes Dental Clinic

Teeth Whitening in Milton Keynes

As we go through life, our smiles can lose their shine. Lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking coffee or red wine and eating stain-inducing foods like blackberries or curry can all leave their mark. The result? —dull, discoloured teeth that cause you embarrassment.

Teeth whitening changes all that. A whitening treatment can remove deeply embedded stains and restore the natural brightness of your smile. Best of all, our professional teeth whitening treatments work from home, making the process simple and convenient.

Breaking Down Stains

Like your skin, teeth have pores. You may not see or feel them, but they are there. Over time, these pores become filled with microscopic food particles and pigments from dark fruits and spices.

Our teeth whitening treatments use completely safe, powerful bleaching gels to lighten the surfaces of your teeth. Wearing custom-made trays every night for two to three weeks gradually enhances the appearance of your teeth.

We offer two tooth whitening options: a standard, competitively priced home whitening treatment that delivers great results or the premium Enlighten system.

Introducing Enlighten Teeth Whitening

Enlighten is widely regarded as the crème de la crème of teeth whitening methods. Formulated to deliver exceptional, long-lasting results, Enlighten will remove stains while brightening your teeth to a VITA B1 shade— the most natural white possible.

Just like our at-home system, most of the process takes place from the comfort of your own sofa or bed. After wearing your whitening trays for two or three weeks, we’ll finish your treatment with one final session in our Milton Keynes practice.

Teeth Whitening Benefits

A Brighter Smile

Whichever of our professional teeth whitening treatments you choose, you will get a brighter, healthier-looking smile. Although we use bleaching agents, our treatments give results that look completely even and natural.

A Confident You

Feeling good about your appearance makes a big difference to your confidence. If you’re less self-conscious about smiling, you’ll find it easier to do it more often, improving your connection with those around you.

A Simple Process

Before we give you the trays and gels, we’ll show you how to use your teeth whitening treatment. Don’t worry— everything about whitening your teeth at home using our treatments is straightforward.

A Convenient Choice

Whiten your teeth while you watch TV and relax, work, or even sleep. Both treatments are convenient, allowing you to whiten your smile while you live your life.

A Safe Solution

Shop-bought DIY whitening kits come with health risks. But because your treatment follows an initial assessment, uses whitening trays that fit perfectly, and is carried out under the supervision of our highly experienced team— it’s safe.

Creating Your Brighter Smile

The Initial Consultation

We’ll begin the teeth whitening process with a thorough consultation. There are several reasons we do this. Firstly, we want to ensure that teeth whitening is the best option for you —we want you to get the full benefits of any service we provide.

As we familiarise ourselves with your teeth, we can identify areas of weak or damaged enamel. Cavities, cracks, or thinning enamel means you may experience discomfort or sensitivity during the process. If we spot any issues, we can address them first to improve your experience.

After assessing your teeth, we’ll discuss your teeth whitening options. If you’re happy to proceed, we’ll take impressions of your teeth so the laboratory can produce your custom trays.

Your Treatment Begins

Once the lab has created your bespoke trays, we’ll show you how to use them and supply you with everything you’ll need to brighten your smile.

For the next two or three weeks, you’ll wear the trays filled with whitening gel every night. Soon, you’ll start to see your bright, confident smile emerge.

The Finishing Touches

If we’re using Enlighten to brighten your smile, we’ll get you to come to the clinic for one final whitening session. During this 45-minute appointment, we’ll take your new whiter smile from looking great to perfect.

Teeth Whitening Frequently Asked Questions

How long does teeth whitening take?

The exact length of your treatment will vary depending on the extent of your staining and discolouration and which whitening option you choose. Typically, our treatments take between two and three weeks.

How quickly will I see results?

Teeth whitening treatments start to work straight away. Although gradual, you might see a noticeable change after a few days. By the end of your treatment, your smile may be several shades whiter.

Are teeth whitening treatments safe?

Professional whitening is perfectly safe. Because we perform a thorough checkup, we can ensure your treatment is comfortable. Teeth whitening is available to patients over 18 years of age. As there has been little research on teeth whitening during pregnancy, you should not whiten teeth when expecting a baby or breastfeeding.

How is professional teeth whitening different from shop-bought DIY kits?

Shop-bought teeth whitening kits are heavily restricted in strength, providing limited results. Additionally, you won’t have a checkup first or receive made-to-measure trays. Accidents made with DIY whitening kits can permanently damage your teeth and gums.

How much does professional teeth whitening cost?

We offer affordable teeth whitening in Milton Keynes. Our home teeth whitening treatment is £295, and Enlighten teeth whitening is £499.

How long will the results last?

This depends on how much care you take to maintain the brightness of your smile. If you avoid smoking and limit your consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, cola, and anything else that could cause stains while brushing your teeth thoroughly twice daily, you should see a long-lasting change.

We can provide top-up treatments if your teeth become stained or discoloured again.

How can I maintain my teeth whitening results?

Without attention, it’s easy for your teeth to become stained and discoloured again. To keep your teeth looking bright and healthy, brush thoroughly twice daily, floss, and use mouthwash. Avoid smoking or vaping, and limit your consumption of anything you know could cause stains.

Coming to see our dental hygienist can help reduce

Will teeth whitening work on my fillings?

No. Teeth whitening can only lighten dental enamel. If you have fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, veneers, partial dentures, or composite bonding, these will not change colour.

How often can I whiten my teeth?

Your teeth should stay white for some time— especially if you care for them. It’s advisable not to whiten your teeth too often, as it may affect your enamel. If the results of your treatment have faded, speak to us about top-ups.
