Our team will perform an examination to ensure your teeth and mouth are healthy, before advising on the most appropriate technique to proceed with and guide you on the possible results of treatment.

Fitz Park Dental Practice provides two different techniques:

• Chair Side Whitening uses a powerful light to accelerate the whitening process and a two hour appointment is required. A protective barrier is positioned over the gums and lips before whitening gel is applied to the teeth. Following this, the powerful light is directed onto the gel, accelerating and intensifying the whitening process by activating the gel which then begins to gently remove stains on the teeth.

• Home Whitening involves impressions of the patient’s teeth being produced. These are tray like gum shields that patients wear overnight for about ten nights, inserting whitening solution into them before each session. This causes no structural change to the teeth, and the results last from 18 months to three years depending on the patients, eating, drinking and smoking habits. Tea, coffee, red wine and smoking all result in teeth discolouring faster, for example.

Following your chosen treatment, the Fitz Park Dental Practice team will be on hand with a first rate aftercare service.

People with extremely sensitive teeth, fracture lines or a history of joint problems may not be suitable for teeth whitening. If you would like to discuss further, our team will be happy to help.
