Do You Know The Quickest, Safest WayTo Whiten Your Teeth?

Latest smile enhancements at Abbey Road Dental in St John’s Wood

White teethAlthough the whole year is in front of us, we often want everything right now. Technology, social media and convenience-culture has left many of us wanting everything as quickly and easily as possible.

But for results like weight loss, muscle-building, careers and education, you simply have to think longer-term, as some things need to be done more slowly to be effective.

For example, when it comes to the teeth, straightening is always better when done slowly, gently and under professional supervision. When it comes to whitening the teeth, unfortunately it can be a different matter altogether, as there are many dangerous shortcuts advertised online. Those whitening shortcuts you see might not only be ineffective at whitening your teeth but they could even damage them and your gums too.

It is important to know that there is no need to opt for dangerous whitening options, especially if you want brighter, whiter teeth quickly. We want to help you avoid gum burns, disappointing results, money wastage and more, by letting you know about the quickest, safest teeth whitening options available here in NW8. So please take a look at our guide to find out how you can brighten your teeth quickly in a hygienic, professional environment local to you:

A Visit To The Hygienist

A visit to our Abbey Road Dental hygienist shouldn’t be discounted as a quick and effective teeth whitening option. The visit will not whiten your teeth in the traditional sense, but it will brighten your teeth. Using non-invasive tools, your hygienist will clean your teeth, removing any hardened tartar and surface stains.

This is a really positive starting point for better looking teeth and healthier teeth and gums, the foundation of a beautiful smile. You can book in with our Abbey Road Dental hygienist independently of the dentist by calling our team on 02076241603.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

If you want something a little more transformative than a dental hygienist visit, then we also offer at-home teeth whitening. This is an ideal solution for patients who want to limit their time in clinic, and want to take control of their teeth whitening at home.

It is also a good solution if you have teeth staining that goes beyond surface stains, as a professional clean cannot remove deeper stains from the teeth. Those deeper stains can happen because of habits like smoking, drinking lots of coffee, or just because of ageing. As we get older, the teeth do naturally change colour so it is an unavoidable part of the ageing process.

So, how does at home teeth whitening work?

The treatment uses a special dental-grade bleach which lightens the teeth up to several shades, depending on your starting point.

We will check the health of your teeth first to ensure the teeth and gums are healthy. Once we know your smile is ready for a quick boost, we will take impressions of your teeth to make dental trays. The dental trays are specially designed for you to ensure that the gums are protected from the whitening product, and to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment overall.

You will then use the trays in conjunction with the whitening paste to whiten your teeth and we will ensure the paste is the right strength to match the degree of whitening that you want. Within a week of using the product for a set amount of time every day at home, you will see some results. You can halt the treatment when you feel happy with the whiteness achieved, but many patients find they get to an optimum level of whiteness after around two weeks of using the product at home.

Why is Abbey Road Dental ‘at home’ whitening  better than a DIY kit?

The bottom line is that it is safe and supervised by your dentist. Getting DIY at home kits can be risky, particularly as you may not even know what the product contains. In addition, you could waste you money on ineffective ingredients and the non-custom trays are less effective at protecting your teeth.

In-Surgery Whitening

If you want an even quicker treatment to brighten and whiten your teeth in NW8, then the ZOOM! treatment is for you. The results are impressive and patients are often shocked at how much whiter their teeth are. In just 90 minutes, you can have the brighter smile you always wanted; we could even do it on your lunch break! We’re proud to use the ZOOM! system as we believe it is one of the most effective whitening systems on the market, offering effective results in an extremely short amount of time.

How Does In-Surgery Whitening At Abbey Road Dental Work?

You first come in for a friendly consultation with us where we check your oral health, and then discuss the results you would like to achieve. After the consultation we can then book you in for treatment.

On the day you will come in and we apply a gum protection ‘putty’ before applying whitening gel to the teeth. Next we place a special lamp over the teeth to speed up the whitening process. The process is then repeated a couple more times during the same session before the final results are revealed. We can also supply the at-home whitening kit in addition to ZOOM! so you can top-up the whitening of your teeth as and when you need to.
