Whitening

One of the most popular and least intrusive ways to improve the cosmetic appearance of your teeth, is with a tooth whitening procedure. At Kempston Dental Practice we use the Boutique Whitening & Enlighten Whitening systems which uses the highest quality whitening gel manufactured in the USA, so you can be assured of fantastic results.

Whats the difference?

The main difference between Boutique and Enlighten whitening systems is tooth sensitivity. If your teeth are currently sensitive when drinking cold drinks or brushing your teeth, we advise opting for Enlighten teeth whitening. This system includes a range of desensitizing agents and toothpastes to help you before, during, and after the treatment, ensuring a more comfortable experience throughout.

FAQs

We will make you some custom fit trays for your mouth only. You will be given some Whitening Gel to carefully syringe into the trays and the trays will be worn over the teeth during the night whilst you sleep.
Yes! The whitening trays are custom made to fit around your teeth. They are similar to a nightguard/retainers but a lot thinner and usually do not cover the gums, only the teeth.
If you use our products the way we advise you then it will not cause any damage. The Boutique Whitening & Enlighten system are verified products which use a safe level of carbamide peroxide. Patients can experience sensitivity of the teeth during use of the product which is only temporary and can be resolved using a toothpaste for sensitivity.
We recommend wearing the trays with the whitening gel every night for two- three weeks to achieve the best result. However, results do vary from person to person. So once you have achieved the whiteness you desire you can stop using the product.

The results will last according to varying lifestyle factors like diet and smoking. However, our patients commented that results have lasted for twelve months before they have needed to whiten them again. Once you have your custom trays made you simply buy the whitening gel from reception to top up the result. You may only need to use the whitening gel and trays for two-three nights until you’ve achieved the desired result.

Here's what our lovely patient had to say about Teeth Whitening:

Should you wish to book in for teeth whitening, these are the steps we would take;

1. Call our friendly reception team to book an appointment for consultation/scan. If you’re dentally fit we can scan your teeth the same day and send this to a lab for your custom whitening trays to be made. At this stage if you are opting for Enlighten Whitening then we will issue you with a desensitising serum toothpaste to use everyday, 2 weeks prior to your next appointment.

2. You’ll return to the practice around 2 weeks later to receive the whitening trays and whitening gel. A demo will be given on how to use the product. We’ll take a shade match of the colour of your teeth before whitening so we can monitor the change.

3. We see you for a complimentary review to check you are happy with the results 2-4 weeks later. For our Enlighten patients, you will receive a stain removal whitening serum to help maintain the results.
