Teeth Whitening Cost in London Bridge

Teeth Whitening is perhaps one of the most common procedures in Cosmetic Dentistry. Every cosmetic dentist has typically done hundreds of teeth whitening cases – that’s how popular teeth whitening treatments are in our opinion. The main reason people consider teeth whitening is when their teeth become stained by the food and drinks they consume, particularly drinks such as red wine, tea and coffee. Smoking cigarettes also causes staining to the teeth, causing teeth to lose their natural pearly white colour. Teeth whitening helps restore teeth to their brighter, whiter brilliance. The procedure is relatively simple and effective in lightening the colour of the teeth. The level of whiteness that’s achieved varies from patient to patient as the ingredients of the teeth whitening system work a little differently for different types of teeth. The kind of whitening process chosen can also impact the level of whitening that can be achieved.

Teeth Whitening can be done in two ways generally. The most common is home teeth whitening, wherein the patient is provided with custom made whitening trays and a whitening gel, which the patient then uses at home every day for 2-3 weeks typically. This is a very effective way to whiten teeth and it produces brilliant results. The second way to whiten teeth is to do it in-surgery, wherein the cosmetic dentist applies a special concentration of the whitening gel under close supervision, and often applies a white LED light that’s used to activate whitening agents in the gel. The white LED light is used only for those whitening systems that are designed to be used with an enabling light. Not all in-surgery whitening systems need or use whitening LED light. The in-surgery whitening process typically takes 60-90 minutes, producing instant whitening results.
