If you want to give yourself an instant healthy glow, one way to do so is to invest in the world’s most popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. Teeth whitening is the world’s favourite treatment because it’s quick and non-invasive, making it a great value way to brighten up your smile so that you can enjoy yourself even more when you are partying and dining out.

In Guildford, teeth whitening is a very simple procedure here at Farnham Road Dental Practice. You pop into us for a whitening kit and then carry out the treatment at your leisure at home, over the next two to three weeks. Now is a great time to get started on teeth whitening, to give your smile an early Spring clean.

We use the Enlighten teeth whitening system, which allows you to carry out the treatment at home. You just need to come into us so that we can take impressions of your teeth and make your gel trays. You take them home with a kit containing the whitening gel.

You fill each gel tray with the gel and put it on over your teeth. You need to wear your trays every day for an hour or two.

You will start to see results in just a few days, but it will take two to three weeks for the full whitening to be completed. The length of time it takes and the colour your teeth will lighten to depends on the colour of the staining or discolouration to start with. We have found that teeth whitening is most successful on teeth that are yellow or brown to start with, rather than grey. However, this does not mean that greyish teeth cannot be improved by teeth whitening.

Teeth whitening is not a permanent treatment and how long it last depends on how well you look after your teeth, avoiding things that stain, such as tea, coffee and red wine.
