A cosmetic dentist is an essential port of call for anyone interested in teeth whitening treatment. Harley Street Dental Clinic offers three options for teeth whitening, and all of them begin in the same way – with a consultation with a cosmetic dentist.
Many people dream of having whiter teeth. In fact, a recent study discovered that 64% of the adult population of the UK were unhappy with the current colour of their teeth. Our teeth are stained for a variety of reasons, and you need to contact a cosmetic dentist for teeth whitening to check that it is the most suitable treatment to suit your needs.
Teeth whitening is the most frequent request made of a cosmetic dentist, and most people are suitable for treatment. At our Harley Street clinic we welcome new patients for cosmetic dentistry consultations. Your initial appointment will include a thorough oral health check, because as with any cosmetic procedure teeth whitening should only be carried out on a healthy mouth.
If you have an underlying dental health problem, your cosmetic dentist will either treat you themselves or, when appropriate, refer you to one of their colleagues at Harley Street Dental Clinic.
We have a unique collection of dental professionals and specialists at our Harley Street practice, so whatever treatment you require it can all be completed under one roof.
Visiting a cosmetic dentist is not just a recommendation for teeth whitening treatment; because the procedure is classed as dentistry by the General Dental Council, by law only a dentist can prescribe it. A hygienist or hygiene therapist may carry out the treatment on a dentist’s prescription, but other sources of whitening must be avoided.
Some beauty salons offer the procedure illegally. As well as being an unwise option this can often be unsafe; the GDC has carried out many successful prosecutions of those who carry out illegal dentistry, but more often than not it only comes to their attention when someone has suffered serious damage to their teeth and gums.
By visiting a Harley Street cosmetic dentist, you can be assured treatment will be both effective and safe.
