About Teeth Whitening
Teeth Whitening at Belle Vue Dental Practice
Looking to brighten your smile? Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to enhance the natural colour of your teeth — helping you feel more confident and refreshed.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening gently lightens the shade of your natural teeth without damaging the enamel or altering the surface of your teeth. While it won’t create a stark colour change, it can noticeably brighten and even out your smile.
Treatment results vary depending on your teeth’s natural colour and condition. Your dentist will discuss realistic expectations with you before beginning the whitening process.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
Over time, teeth can darken or discolour due to:
-
Ageing
-
Lifestyle habits (smoking, tea, coffee, red wine)
-
Natural variation in tooth colour
Unlike over-the-counter kits, professional teeth whitening is tailored to your teeth and carried out under the supervision of your dentist to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
The Process
We’ll first check your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is suitable for you. If approved, we’ll provide you with a custom-fitted whitening kit and clear instructions for safe use at home. You’ll begin to see results within days, with most treatments completing over 2–3 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the supervision of a qualified dentist, teeth whitening is safe and effective. We only use clinically approved whitening gels and provide personalised treatment plans to minimise sensitivity.
How long do whitening results last?
Whitening can last anywhere from several months to a few years depending on your habits and oral hygiene. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain, and maintaining regular dental check-ups, can help prolong your results.
Can everyone have their teeth whitened?
Not always. Whitening isn’t suitable for everyone — for example, people with certain types of dental restorations or underlying oral health issues. We’ll always carry out a full assessment first to ensure it’s a safe and suitable option for you.
