You know how you want your smile to look and its just not there at the moment. For whatever reason, the shade of your teeth does not match what you think is best for you.

There is a solution and it is easy, fast and safe. You can give yourself a confidence boost and a new lease on life with Enlighten Whitening in Guildford.

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we are here to help you achieve the look you want in a way that is simple and effective.

Great  what do I do now?

First, visit us here at the clinic in Guildford. Enlighten Whitening offers a range of shades of white for you to choose from so you can decide how much you want to change the look of your teeth. Natural teeth are not bright white and so we offer you the chance to choose where on the spectrum you want to be. Your dentist will discuss this with you and then make arrangements to move to the next step.

A set of custom made trays are formed from an impression the dentist will take from your teeth. They are sent back to us here in Guildford. Enlighten Whitening shape them so that you can wear them each night for 14 days and then for one day each month to achieve and maintain your look.

The dentist will also note down any crowns or veneers you might have, as these do not get lightened. Depending on the shade you have chosen and where they are located in your mouth, you may wish to have these changed.

Its perfectly normal after treatment to feel some sensitivity. You will be given some desensitising wipes to deal with this immediately at home if this occurs. You will also have some tooth serum to take home and use which will also help.

It’s no surprise that the popularity of teeth whitening treatment continues to grow. As cosmetic dentistry become more accessible to an increasing number of people, bright, white teeth are no longer the preserve of celebrities and film stars. Teeth whitening treatment from a dentist is one of the fastest ways to boost your smile, and is perfect for a mini smile makeover before a special occasion.

At The Guildford Dentist we use the Enlighten home teeth whitening system, which involves the use of custom-made teeth whitening trays and special dental bleaching gel, designed to remove stains such as those caused by food, drink, and smoking from the teeth safely and gently. We welcome new patients for a teeth whitening consultation.

Why you need a dentist

If you are considering whitening your teeth, the key thing to remember is that this treatment should only be carried out by a dentist (or a dental hygienist on a dentist’s prescription). There are several reasons for this.

First, as with any cosmetic dental procedure, teeth whitening should only be carried out on a healthy mouth, to avoid the risk of sensitivity during treatment. Your dentist will ensure that you are in good oral health before prescribing whitening treatment. If you do have any health problems, such as gum disease or tooth decay, your dentist is perfectly positioned to treat these issues. Just remember to leave enough time before your special occasion for all treatment to be completed.

Secondly, it’s important to remember that while Enlighten, and other whitening products used by dentists, have been subjected to rigorous testing and have been proven both safe and effective, products available from other outlets are unlikely to have been tested to the same degree.

There are many products, both online and on the internet, that claim to whiten teeth, but they may fail to deliver, and in some cases can even cause damage to your teeth and gums. Products used by dentists are completely safe, as well as very effective. When it comes to your smile, you want to know you can trust your provider.

Teeth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dental treatment, and it’s not difficult to see why. Most of us would like a brighter, whiter smile, and teeth whitening treatment carried out by a dentist is an excellent way to achieve this.

At The Guildford Dentist we only use the Enlighten teeth whitening system. This world-renowned product is an excellent way to remove stains and discolouration from your teeth, and is the only whitening system that guarantees a B1 shade of whiteness at the end of treatment – the lightest shade available in the UK.

Whitening treatment becomes necessary because our teeth are easily stained in everyday life. Even if you have good dental hygiene, drinks such as tea and coffee, habits such as smoking, and some medicines and mouthwashes can cause the teeth to become stained. When carried out by a dental professional, teeth whitening offers a safe, reliable and predictable way to remove these everyday stains, giving you a brighter, whiter smile in as little as two weeks.

We use Enlighten home whitening products at our Guildford clinic. This involves using custom-made whitening trays and special dental bleaching gel, which has been specifically designed to reduce the chances of developing temporary tooth sensitivity during treatment.

Although this is a home whitening system, you will still need to come into the practice for a consultation with a dentist prior to starting treatment. They will assess the type of staining on your teeth to check that this is the best option, and will also ensure that you are in good dental health – whitening should only be carried out on healthy teeth. Your dentist will then take impressions for your whitening trays to be made up.

All you need to do is place a small amount of whitening gel in the trays and wear them either overnight or for short periods during the day for approximately two weeks. The result will be beautifully bright, white teeth.
