Why have my teeth discoloured?

Genetics play a large part in the colour of a person’s teeth. Smoking, bad dental health, and drinking tea, coffee, and red wine are the main culprits of staining. Teeth can also be stained intrinsically (under the surface). Intrinsic stains are caused by cracks in the enamel, tetracycline antibiotics, or high exposure to fluoride during child development.

What whitening treatments are available?

Professional teeth bleaching

A whiter smile can be achieved in as little as two or three appointments. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to custom-make your mouthpiece, which will be filled with a bleaching gel. You will wear your mouthpiece at home for several hours a day as directed by your dentist.

Laser whitening

A powerful treatment, laser whitening can brighten teeth by six shades. Bleach is applied to your teeth before a laser light is used to activate it. You will have whiter teeth in just a single appointment.

Enlighten whitening

Enlighten whitening is the only treatment to guarantee the lightest B1 shade. You will use an at-home bleaching treatment for two weeks before having an in-office bleaching session with your dentist.

Zoom whitening

We use this system as it is one of the most trusted, reputable, researched, and worldwide popular names in most patient-requested professional whitening brands. Teeth can be whitened by up to eleven shades with this revolutionary treatment. A whitening gel is used along with the Advanced Power Lamp to eradicate stains and discolouration.

Non-vital  teeth whitening

This treatment targets intrinsic stains within your teeth. Your dentist will apply bleach inside your tooth and use a temporary filling as a seal. You will be left with the filling for several days as the treatment takes effect. Non-vital whitening can be repeated for stronger results.

How much does whitening cost?

The cost of teeth whitening would be same for both ares Catford and Eltham. Your teeth whitening treatment cost depends on what work needs to be done and what system you have, along with your individual case. Your dentist will discuss the cost with you at your initial consultation.
