When it comes to resolving cosmetic dental issues, our team\nsees similar complaints from many of our patients time and time again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A key issue that keeps recurring with our patients’ smiles is that they feel their teeth and their smile simply isn’t white enough. And as many people work jobs which require them to look their best, having a discoloured smile can cause an array of problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Wimbledon Dental Care<\/strong>, we are happy to\noffer teeth\nwhitening Wimbledon<\/a> to our patients and have the latest tools and equipment\nto ensure that any whitening procedure you want to undertake with us is quick\nand comfortable. So you can enjoy that whiter smile for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, before many patients book an appointment for teeth whitening Wimbledon<\/strong>, they have a few burning questions\nthat need to be answered. In the following article, our team answers 5 of the\nmost common queries that we receive about whitening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the advantages of dental whitening?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, a key advantage of teeth whitening\nWimbledon<\/strong> is that it, well, whitens your teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as mentioned earlier, many people are self-conscious when\nit comes to showing off their smiles in photographs or at work if they have\ndiscoloured teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do whiter teeth boost your confidence, but they also\nlook healthier and as they are typically smoothed during the whitening process,\nit can actually act as a deterrent for plaque accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it uncomfortable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have sensitive teeth, you may have concerns that having\nany kind of dental whitening will heighten this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the whitening gels that we use at our practice have\nbuilt-in anti-sensitivity agents, so when you are undertaking bleach-based\nwhitening (which is commonly used in most treatments), you should not\nexperience any issues with oral sensitivity becoming worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long does it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If our team decides that you are a good candidate for\nbleach-based whitening treatment then the entire process will likely take 14\ndays to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will involve 2 trips to see our team; one at the beginning\nand one at the end, and in the interim, you will be required to use whitening\ntrays and a weaker form of the surgery whitening gel at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often can I have whitening performed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, our team will perform dental whitening once every\nsix months. But if you have concerns that the results are not lasting as long\nas you would like, our team will be more than happy to offer advice on how to\nkeep your teeth as white as possible for as long as needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, over-application of dental whitening can result in\nissues with enamel thickness so our team will aim to minimise this issue where\npossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do the results last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results of dental whitening vary in how long they last, depending on how dedicated you are to maintaining the results of the treatment at home. They will also vary based on your lifestyle choices; for instance, if you smoke, it is unlikely that your dental whitening will last longer than 6 months. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
