Teeth Whitening: How Does It Work?
Teeth whitening involves applying a specialised gel to the teeth to break down stains and discolouration, leaving your smile visibly brighter. At Archway Dental Group, we use professional-grade whitening systems that penetrate the enamel safely and effectively, targeting stains caused by food, beverages, smoking, or ageing. Our team ensures a customised treatment plan to maximise results while protecting the health of your teeth and gums.
Teeth Whitening Methods
At Archway Dental Group, we offer at-home whitening kits: Custom-fitted trays and professional whitening gel allow you to achieve gradual results from the comfort of your home.
This option is safe and effective, delivering long-lasting brightness tailored to your preferences.
Teeth Whitening: Costs
The cost of teeth whitening depends on the level of whitening required. At Archway Dental Group, we provide transparent pricing and discuss all options during your consultation. With at-home kits available, we can tailor the procedure to fit your budget and needs.
Teeth Whitening: Does It Hurt?
Teeth whitening is generally pain-free, although some patients may experience mild sensitivity during or after the procedure. At Archway Dental Group, we use professional-grade whitening systems and techniques designed to minimise discomfort. If you have sensitive teeth, our team can recommend options to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening can last from six months to two years, depending on your lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. At Archway Dental Group, we provide guidance on maintaining your brighter smile through regular care and avoiding habits that cause staining, such as smoking or consuming dark-coloured beverages.
Teeth Whitening Before and After
Professional teeth whitening can dramatically enhance the appearance of your smile, making it brighter and more youthful. At Archway Dental Group, we personalise each treatment to ensure natural-looking results that complement your features. You’ll leave our clinic with a whiter smile that boosts your confidence in both personal and professional settings.
Teeth whitening contraindications
While teeth whitening is safe for most patients, it may not be suitable for everyone. Contraindications include untreated cavities, gum disease, or teeth with exposed roots. At Archway Dental Group, we conduct a thorough assessment to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you. Our priority is protecting your oral health while helping you achieve your whitening goals.
