How teeth whitening works
The discoloured molecules in teeth are broken down by the application of a peroxide-based teeth-whitening agent. This agent breaks down the stains into smaller pieces, making your teeth brighter and less discoloured.
Our experienced dentists can also professionally whiten your teeth in our practice - this treatment can be completed within 60 minutes. We can also create custom whitening trays by taking a 3D scan of your teeth, allowing you to whiten your teeth at home. Teeth whitening is most effective when initially carried out by a dentist to prevent damage to your teeth or health.
Teeth whitening from home
While home teeth whitening kits are available over the counter, professional teeth whitening by a dentist is recommended for the best and safest results.
Our home whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home over the course of just a few weeks. We'll custom make your whitening trays using a 3D scan of. your teeth. Each night for a number of weeks you'll add your teeth whitening gel to the trays for sleeping in. After just a couple of weeks your teeth could be up to 16 shades brighter! Ask about teeth whitening at your next routine visit to Kamran Rasul.
Is teeth whitening good for dental health?
You are in safe hands at Kamran Rasul Cosmetic Dentistry. Our experienced dentist performs teeth whitening safely without damaging your enamel.
After teeth whitening, teeth can become sensitive during the treatment and for a short period afterwards, but this pain will only be mild and won’t last longer than a few days. Don't worry if you feel slight pain after the treatment, as your teeth and enamel won’t be damaged.
What are the benefits of teeth whitening?
Our patients are always over the moon with their results! Whitening makes your teeth look brighter and healthier, giving you the confidence to smile proudly again.
Over-the-counter whitening toothpaste and strips do not have the same effect as professional whitening treatments. Whether you choose the home or in-surgery whitening, 360 Whitening guarantees you a brighter, whiter smile like no other.
How to keep your teeth white long-term
Teeth whitening results can last for around three years, although the lifespan of your treatment depends on your oral health and dietary habits. After beginning teeth whitening you will want the results to last long-term and keep your teeth white. Follow these steps to keep your teeth white:
-
Avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine and fruit juice
-
Use a straw if you are drinking any drinks that can stain your teeth
-
Follow good dental hygiene - brush, floss and use mouthwash regularly
-
Regular appointments with a hygienist. Our hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth while also removing plaque. We will also provide advice on how you can improve your oral health routine.
-
Filling your trays with gel and wearing them one night a week every other month also can help prolong results.
What do dentists use to whiten teeth?
It depends on the dentist! We always want to ensure we’re offering you the best possible results, which is why we have carefully selected our whitening treatment from the wide range of options available.
360 Whitening is a safe, effective, and advanced whitening system which can only be used by registered dental professionals, like those at Kamran Rasul Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dentistry. Not visiting a trained expert is extremely risky and could cause long-term damage to your teeth.
We believe that teeth whitening in Liverpool should fit around your lifestyle, giving you as much flexibility as possible. Our home whitening treatments are low maintenance and convenient - you will only need to visit us to have your bespoke trays made, and then again to check your results!
360 Whitening gel includes trolamine in its formula. This means it can gently whiten your teeth without causing sensitivity. Not only this, but the comfortable whitening trays reduce the likelihood of the gel reaching your gums.
Is teeth whitening safe?
