Teeth brightening, also known as teeth whitening, is a popular aesthetic dental procedure that involves bleaching your teeth to enhance their brightness. While maintaining good oral hygiene can promote a radiant smile, sometimes, additional assistance can further elevate the whiteness of your smile
Various factors may prompt individuals to seek teeth brightening at Thousand Smiles. Natural ageing can lead to the dimming of your teeth’s whiteness. Furthermore, regular consumption of staining beverages like red wine, coffee, or tea, along with habits like smoking, can also lead to teeth discolouration.
Our expert-led teeth brightening service provides a safe and rapid solution to remove stubborn stains from your teeth without causing any harm. We’ve assisted countless patients in restoring their confidence through this procedure, helping them attain a brighter, whiter smile.
At Thousand Smiles, we extend two distinct teeth brightening options – an in-clinic treatment performed by our skilled dentist, and at-home teeth brightening kits for your convenience.
You may be a suitable candidate for teeth whitening if you are 18 or older, but you must also have healthy gums, which our dentist will check during your consultation.
It may be best not to whiten your teeth if you are breastfeeding or pregnant because it isn’t clear if teeth-whitening products can affect babies. Note that teeth whitening doesn’t whiten dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, dentures or bridges.
A consultation is necessary to check if you’re a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. If you can undergo teeth whitening, the dentist will discuss your teeth whitening options and their cost.
If you aren’t suitable for whitening, you may consider crowns, veneers or composite bonding for particularly damaged or discoloured teeth.
We have different teeth whitening options. They include:
Our in-practice teeth whitening can lighten the teeth by up to six shades in one hour. The dentist will apply the whitening gel and use a special blue light to accelerate the teeth whitening process for faster results.
Our dentist will give you a teeth whitening kit with a gel and trays to take home. Ensure you wear the tray as recommended by the dentist. Most people need to wear the trays overnight, and getting the desired teeth shade may take a few weeks.
You can get home teeth whitening as a top-up after your in-practice teeth whitening.
Our dentist may suggest internal teeth whitening if a tooth becomes darker after root canal treatment.
Internal teeth whitening involves re-opening the hole made during the root canal treatment, putting the whitening gel into it, and closing the hole with a temporary filling.
The dentist may repeat the procedure 2 – 3 times, usually one week apart. After the last appointment, the dentist will permanently close the hole with a tooth-coloured filling.
If you take proper care of your teeth after the teeth whitening treatment, the result can last longer. You can prolong the effect of your teeth whitening with the following.
You can get top-up kits to maintain your new smile at home. Our dentist will further explain how to care for your new smile.
Teeth whitening costs vary among dental practices. Usually, at-home teeth whitening is less expensive than in-practice whitening. The cost of consultation to determine if you can undergo teeth whitening is separate from the teeth whitening costs.
You can contact us today for the exact cost of your teeth whitening.
TIf you have a special event coming up, like your wedding, you may want to consider teeth whitening. The photos you’ll take on your special day will remain for a lifetime, and you don’t want your smile to spoil these photos.
You can make your teeth the pearly whites you’ve always wanted at Thousand Smiles for your special day. While you can whiten your teeth for your special occasion, the effect can last for about 18 – 24 months, so you’ll continue to have whiter and brighter teeth afterwards.
Whether you want to whiten your teeth to boost your confidence for an upcoming job interview or graduation ceremony, our dentists at Thousand Smiles will ensure you get your desired result.
We have only dental professionals registered with the General Dental Council who perform teeth whitening treatment. Regardless of the professional whitening option you need, we will safely carry it out. We also offer Philips ZOOM teeth whitening, which can make the teeth up to six shades whiter.
