Your smile is unique, and at Dart Vale Dental & Implant Clinic, we understand that your reasons for wanting a brighter smile are personal too. Our experienced dentists in Totnes will carefully assess your teeth to ensure they are suitable for teeth whitening treatment.
While everyone dreams of a Hollywood smile, very few people have naturally bright, white teeth. Your teeth change colour as you get older, and other factors like what you eat and drink can affect their colour. Coffee, red wine, curry, balsamic vinegar and dark berries are all teeth staining culprits. You may have an important event coming up, such as a wedding or holiday, that you want to look your best for. It may be that your teeth have gradually become discoloured due to certain prescribed medications or antibiotics. A build up of calculus (tartar) can also lead to yellow-looking teeth, as can habits like smoking.
The cost of teeth whitening varies depending on the type of treatment you choose. Professional teeth whitening typically ranges from £400 to £600, depending on whether you opt for in-practice whitening or custom take-home kits. Our dentists will assess your needs and recommend the most suitable teeth whitening option for you. Book a consultation today and learn more about our affordable teeth whitening solutions in Totnes.
Before undergoing the teeth whitening treatment at Dart Vale Dental & Implant Clinic your dentist will professionally remove stains from your teeth using a high-specification air polisher. A Prophy-Jet uses water and air pressure to remove tartar, and the inclusion of baking soda gently buffs the surface of your teeth. This procedure prepares your teeth to best receive the whitening application and ensures the correct shade is achieved.
How long your teeth stay whiter and brighter after the teeth whitening treatment is down to you. Stay away from stain-culprits and keep up a good oral health routine and the effects of your whitening treatment should last up to three years.
When considering teeth whitening in Totnes, you have two main options: home whitening kits or professional treatment. Home kits involve custom-made trays and professional-grade whitening gel that you use at your convenience, typically over two weeks. They offer gradual, subtle results. In-practice whitening, on the other hand, is performed by a dentist and delivers instant results in just one appointment. It uses a stronger whitening agent, ensuring a brighter smile in less time. Our dentists can help you decide which option best suits your lifestyle and whitening goals.
