Teeth Whitening
In Blackheath

Enlighten and White Dental Beauty both take two weeks of at-home treatments to achieve the best results. If you are whitening your teeth before a big event, we would recommend starting at least one month before to ensure the best possible results.

Teeth whitening is not a permanent treatment and the staining will return if you continue to eat and drink items that are known to stain teeth. There are steps you can take to maintain your teeth, but top-up treatments will be required if you want to keep your smile looking bright and white.

After your treatment, your teeth may be more sensitive than usual. Try switching to a sensitive toothpaste to help limit any discomfort. You will also need to avoid staining foods like coffee, tomato sauce and red wine as this can cause the staining to return.

Not all discolouration can be corrected with teeth whitening treatments. Restorations such as crowns and veneers cannot be whitened with a teeth whitening treatment. If your discolouration is caused by dental trauma or decay, this also cannot be corrected with teeth whitening solutions.

We offer Enlighten and White Dental Beauty systems. Both will take around two weeks before you see the results. This treatment approach helps to protect the tooth structure and ensure minimal irritation and sensitivity. Be wary of beauty salons offering instant teeth whitening results as these may use dangerously high levels of whitening chemicals.

Too many teeth whitening treatments can dehydrate and damage your teeth, but provided you are following your dentist's instructions, occasional teeth whitening is generally very safe. You might experience some increased sensitivity in response to the treatment, but this will soon pass.
