Should I have my teeth whitened?

Perhaps you have always dreamed of having a bright, radiant smile or maybe your teeth are not as white as they once were. If so, a professional teeth whitening treatment could be the solution. This is one of the most popular procedures currently offered by UK dentists and, in the following blog, we highlight the top 5 reasons why you should bite the bullet and book your first appointment today.

5 Reasons to have your teeth professionally whitened

  1. Effective results

Countless toothpaste and mouthwashes that can be bought over-the-counter claim to brighten teeth; but, in most cases, these products only remove surface stains and their effect is barely noticeable. A professional tooth whitening procedure is often necessary to achieve the results that you desire – such as zoom tooth whitening or home whitening kits provided by a specialist dentist.

These procedures and kits employ a teeth whitening gel, which speeds up the whitening process and leads to outstanding results. You will finally have the photogenic smile that you have always wanted, and with the right care and maintenance, the effects of the treatment can last for up to 3 years.

  1. Fast effects

If a special occasion is fast-approaching and you would like to create a dazzling smile for the big day, professional tooth whitening is the perfect option for you. A zoom whitening treatment typically involves 3 sessions or less and, thanks to the use of hydrogen peroxide gel, the effects appear immediately following your first appointment. You could have whiter teeth in a matter of minutes!

  1. Safety

Although over-the-counter tooth whitening products are safe to use, there is still an element of risk, and side effects – such as gum irritation and sensitivity – are very common.

By contrast, there are virtually no risks or side effects associated with professional tooth whitening treatments. Your dentist will start by thoroughly checking your teeth and gums, making sure they are healthy enough for the procedure, and stains will be removed without harming your teeth.

  1. Oral hygiene habits

If you have invested in professional tooth whitening, you are more likely to adopt good oral hygiene habits afterwards. You may brush and floss more regularly, avoid cigarettes and dark drinks, and attend routine dental checks – all in an effort to maintain the whitening effects. These habits will not only improve your smile, but they can also help to prevent disease and improve your oral health.

  1. The full smile ‘make-over’

A zoom whitening procedure is a fantastic way to improve the appearance of your teeth; however, in some instances, additional work may be needed to create a ‘perfect’ smile. For example, if your teeth are crooked or gapped, you may need to consider Invisalign® braces or veneers.

Professional dental surgeries typically offer a wide range of treatments and, during your initial consultation, you should discuss exactly which treatments you need to create the best results.

Top 3 benefits of Invisalign® braces

Invisalign® braces are the ideal treatment for anyone looking to achieve their perfect smile without the hassle and pain of metal braces.

The Invisalign® system is a personal treatment plan which involves creating a mould from your teeth to construct a clear set of removable trays for a straighter and healthier smile.

Using the non-invasive process of digital imaging, 3D digital scans are used to construct tailor-made Invisalign® trays that are fitted in a quick and pain-free manner.

At Kiln Lane Dental, we are certified Invisalign® providers. As such, our expert dentists are able to offer clients this beneficial service, which will completely transform your smile and dissipate any imperfections.

 

Top 3 benefits of Invisalign® braces

 1. Improved confidence

The most popular reason many people invest in Invisalign® braces is that they can correct various dentistry issues such as overbite, underbite, gapped, overcrowding, and protruding teeth.

The Invisalign® system is designed to perfectly align your teeth in order to create your ideal smile without the unsightly appearance of metal braces. Invisalign® trays are the perfect solution for anyone dealing with self-esteem issues, as this discreet treatment will ensure that you are more content with your appearance and help to improve your overall confidence.

2. Comfortable wear

The Invisalign® system is purposely designed to offer comfort to the wearer.

Metal braces can cause a significant amount of discomfort due to the wire irritating gums and teeth. Having an Invisalign® eliminates the need for wires, as our professional dentists will ensure that your trays perfectly match your teeth through the moulding process. This involves the use of polyutherane resin, which is a virtually invisible dentistry mould that holds the trays together.

3. Convenience

One of the main advantages of investing in Invisalign® braces is that they are removable. You simply remove them while you are eating and pop them back in once you are done.

They also allow you to clean your teeth as usual by simply taking out your trays before brushing and flossing – much more convenient than metal braces, which require vigorous scrubbing in order to remove unwanted food.
