At Harley Street Dental Clinic we are passionate about what we do and want everyone to have a bright, stain-free smile they can be proud of. Discolouration can happen to anyone and it is incredibly difficult to avoid as your teeth age, but we offer treatments that can both reduce the appearance of stains and brighten the shade of your teeth. If you have been feeling insecure because of stains or discolouration then we recommend that you book a consultation appointment to speak to one of our practitioners about teeth whitening Harley Street. They will discuss the different treatments that we have available to ensure that you get the one that suits your individual needs the most. If you are trying to find out how to arrange a consultation appointment you can make one through our website or by contacting our practice over the phone.
When is it time to whiten your teeth?
For a lot of people discolouration and stains are something that appear gradually over time, sometimes so gradually that people will not even notice they have stains until they are extremely visible. When you choose to get teeth whitening Harley Street is entirely up to you, but we recommend that if you notice stains or discolouration to seek treatment sooner rather than later to prevent your situation from worsening. All sorts of things can lead to discolouration such as eating certain foods like beetroot or curries, or drinking tea and coffee. Certain lifestyle habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol such as red wine can also cause stains to appear sooner than they normally would do. One of the main causes of discolouration is not taking care of your teeth properly, which means brushing twice a day and flossing at least once. Mouthwash can also be used to help keep your teeth clear of stains.
Where do you want to get your teeth whitened?
The great thing about coming to our practice to get teeth whitening Harley Street is that you get to choose where you want to have your treatment carried out. Unfortunately that choice is limited to either at our practice or your home, but it still makes all the difference when you are getting a treatment that is well-suited to your lifestyle. Some people prefer to have their treatment completed in our practice by one of our professionals. If you choose this method you will notice an instant brightness when you leave our surgery, which is ideal if you have an important event coming up and want to look your best. Other people prefer to have more control over their treatment and do it from the comfort of their own home. If this is you, then you will be provided with a custom-made appliance to take home to wear at night whilst you sleep. The appliance will fit comfortably over your own teeth and you will also be given a gel to place into the appliance before you put it in your mouth. This gel is what activates and reduces the appearance of stains and discolouration over time. You can generally expect to see results within two weeks when you opt for this type of treatment.
