A bright resolution! Make 2012 a year to smile for

Friday, January 6th, 2012

 

Is your smile in need of a little help? Perhaps you have discoloured teeth from drinking too much mulled wine or indulging in too many chocolates over the festive season! But with a little tooth whitening, your teeth can look good as new this year.

Tooth whitening is not only a great way to brighten your smile but it can also help to give you a more youthful appearance. Here at Woodborough House we have several different treatment options available to patients who wish to lighten their teeth.

What we offer

We offer an “in-house” procedure known as Zoom.  This requires you to stay in surgery as we apply the teeth whitening solution. This is a one or two hour session depending on the shade of your teeth. We then provide bespoke dental trays for you to take away after Zoom to continue whitening at home.

An alternative to in-house bleaching are the “take-home” teeth whitening kits we provide. This will enable you to undergo whitening in the comfort and privacy of your own home and gives you complete control. The kits include specially moulded dental trays which are inserted over both upper and lower teeth. These can be worn over night, during the day, or at weekends for up to two weeks. This option is great because you have the trays for life and so are able to top up your whitening whenever you feel necessary.

Pricing

Zoom whitening with trays costs £695.

Home bleaching costs £399.

You are able to purchase more solution if you feel you want to brighten your smile any time after treatment. We also sell other products that complement the tooth whitening process, such as whitening toothpaste.

Safety

All tooth whitening products here at Woodborough House are completely safe – all our staff have done it! Sensitivity can be a side effect, but we can provide a solution that will calm the sensitivity and enable you to continue with treatment if you do experience this. This usually only happens if you have sensitive teeth prior to treatment, and varies from person to person.

So if you’re looking to get a bright and brilliant new smile for the new year, why not book an appointment on 0118 984 3108 where one of our friendly team members will be very happy to help you.

Smile, here’s one takeaway that won’t stain your teeth!

Dull, yellow, discoloured teeth? Do you dream of sparkly white gnashers? Teeth whitening could be just the thing for you! Tooth whitening is a quick, non-evasive way of brightening your smile. After just 14 days teeth are an average of 2-3 shades lighter.

Here at Woodborough House we offer home bleaching for just £399, and the beauty is that you can whiten your teeth in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The procedure only requires two visits to the dentist; firstly to have a set of impressions taken in order to make the bleaching trays, and then a second demonstration appointment to show you how to bleach with your trays.

The trays themselves are lightweight, plastic moulds that the patient fills with a small amount of our bleach, and then inserts before they go to bed every night for two weeks. One of the advantages of home bleaching in this way is the level of control it gives the patient – if after a week you have achieved the level of whitening you require, you can stop bleaching and save the remaining bleach to top up at a later date. Alternatively, if you require even brighter pearly whites, then you can continue to bleach until the desired shade is achieved.

In some cases sensitivity may occur. If this happens, patients can use some of our desensitising gel on alternate nights to the bleach, or simply have a break for a few nights before resuming with bleaching. This is another advantage of home bleaching.

During the 14 day bleaching period, teeth are more porous, so we recommend that to achieve optimum results patients refrain from smoking, drinking black tea/coffee and red wine, eating particularly staining foods such as beetroot and curries. However, once bleaching is complete, a normal diet and lifestyle may be resumed.

At Woodborough House, we offer bleaching for suitable patients above the age of 17, so why not make an appointment today? One of our staff would love to help you to transform your smile in just 14 days.
