Tooth whitening is an easy and cost effective way to enhance your natural smile.
It lightens the natural colour of your teeth through a whitening process, without removing or being destructive to the existing tooth structure. Tooth whitening can remove discolouration caused by eating different foodstuffs, drinking red wine, tea and coffee and smoking.
Boutique Whitening
Your smile says a lot about you. Here at Bloxham Dental Practice, we are delighted to help enhance your smile with Boutique whitening.
Designed by dentists, the award winning Boutique Whitening offers teeth whitening solutions to suit your lifestyle.
WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
The colour of your teeth can be affected by many factors including the aging process, staining from food and drink, trauma, illness, disease and medication.
Professional teeth whitening from a dentist is the only safe, legal, and effective method of achieving a whiter, brighter smile.
Here at Bloxham Dental Practice we use Boutique Whitening, which is a premium quality, professional teeth whitening system that delivers superior results, and we love it!
HOW DOES TEETH WHITENING WORK?
Your dentist will first carry out a full dental examination to assess the overall health of your mouth. Provided everything looks good, they will then explain your teeth whitening options.
With Boutique, you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep, depending on what suits your lifestyle.
Photographs may be taken to check the existing shade of your teeth. Then an impression will be taken and sent to the Boutique Whitening laboratory, where your bespoke, custom-fit whitening trays will be made.
Your trays will be fitted at the practice. Your dentist will show you how to use the whitening syringes and explain how long to wear the trays for. In most cases, you will see an improvement in just a few days and optimum results in around 3 weeks.
It really is that simple!
WHY IS HOME WHITENING THE BEST OPTION?
In-chair whitening with a lamp (sometimes referred to as laser-whitening) is seen as the gold standard of teeth whitening by many patients. However, there is questionable evidence to prove the effectiveness of these lamps.
On the other hand, there is an overwhelming body of evidence to show that dentist-supervised home whitening is the most effective way to whiten teeth.
Here at Bloxham Dental Practice we have helped many people achieve beautiful, whiter smiles using Boutique Whitening.
Boutique Whitening is a system that we trust, that we use ourselves, and that we find gives consistently amazing results.
DAY OR NIGHT WHITENING?
Boutique Whitening comes in different formulas so that you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep.
The Day kit contains 6% hydrogen peroxide and is designed for 2 hours wear per day.
The Night kits come as either 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide, which is designed for 6 hours overnight wear.
While both kits will produce the same end result, your dentist will be able to explain the differences in the types of bleach and advise the correct formula for you. This will be based on various factors, including your lifestyle, preferences and dental history.
