PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING

BRIGHTEN YOUR SMILE IN LEAMINGTON SPA

Teeth whitening is a very simple and straightforward way to produce a great transformation in your smile. It can be used as a stand alone treatment or as part of a larger more complex smile makeover transformation.

At The Grove Practice we use a home based whitening called Boutique Whitening. First, we digitally scan your teeth – no messy impressions required – and then we construct custom made whitening trays for you. We will then show you how to load these trays with the Boutique Whitening gel and position them in your mouth.

Very friendly and professional, time given to explain things in detail. Not at all pushy into selling products

How our

whitening system works

It is usual to either wear these trays overnight whilst you sleep or for a few hours during the day.

The active whitening ingredient is Carbamide Peroxide that releases Hydrogen Peroxide, the only known constituent to whiten teeth. The gels in Boutique Whitening are safe, reliable and incredibly predictable. We know that most patients will need a treatment of typically 2-4 weeks of whitening to achieve the brightness they are looking for. Occasionally this can take longer but we will monitor you and continue if necessary.

This system minimises sensitivity and is very popular with our patients visiting us from Warwick, Kenilworth, Coventry and surrounding areas. We recommend regular top ups from every couple of months to maybe once a year.

Professional vs. over-the-counter whitening

While many whitening products are available in shops and online, professional whitening offers several significant advantages:

Custom-fitted trays that ensure even gel distribution and prevent gum irritation
Professional-strength whitening agents that provide more dramatic results
Dental supervision to address any sensitivity or concerns during treatment
Appropriate candidate screening to ensure whitening is suitable for your dental condition
Longer-lasting results will depend on regular maintenance with top ups

These advantages make professional whitening not only more effective but also safer and more comfortable than DIY alternatives.

The whitening process

Step 1

Initial consultation

We'll assess your teeth to determine if whitening is appropriate for your situation. Some types of discolouration respond better to whitening than others, and existing dental work like crowns and fillings won't change colour with whitening. We'll discuss your goals and set realistic expectations for your results.

Step 2

Digital impressions

Using our advanced digital scanner, we'll create precise 3D models of your teeth without the need for messy traditional impressions. This ensures your custom whitening trays fit perfectly for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Step 3

Custom tray fabrication

Based on your digital scans, we'll create custom-fitted whitening trays designed specifically for your teeth. Unlike one-size-fits-all products, these trays ensure the whitening gel contacts all the appropriate surfaces evenly while minimizing gel exposure to sensitive gums.

Step 4

Whitening instruction

We'll provide your custom trays and professional-grade Boutique Whitening gel, along with detailed instructions on how to use them. Depending on your preferences and lifestyle, we'll recommend either overnight wear or shorter daytime sessions.

Step 5

Monitoring and adjustments

During your whitening treatment, we'll schedule check-ins to monitor your progress and address any sensitivity issues that might arise. If needed, we can adjust your treatment protocol to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort.

Maintaining

your whiter smile

Once you've achieved your desired shade, maintaining your results is simple:

Avoid or limit staining foods and beverages like coffee, red wine, and dark berries
Rinse with water after consuming potentially staining items
Maintain excellent oral hygiene
Attend regular dental hygiene appointments
Perform occasional "touch-up" whitening treatments

With proper maintenance, your whitening results can last for many months before requiring a refresh. We typically provide additional whitening gel for periodic touch-ups at home.

FAQs about

teeth whitening

Is professional teeth whitening safe?

Yes, professional teeth whitening under dental supervision is safe for most patients. We assess your oral health before recommending whitening and provide customised treatment to minimise risks.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your habits and oral hygiene. Consuming staining foods and beverages, smoking, or poor oral hygiene can shorten the longevity of your results.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some patients experience temporary sensitivity during whitening treatment. The Boutique Whitening system we use is designed to minimise sensitivity, and we can provide additional desensitising products if needed.

Can I whiten if I have fillings, crowns, or veneers?

Whitening only affects natural tooth structure; it won't change the colour of existing dental work. If you have visible restorations, we'll discuss how whitening might affect the overall appearance of your smile and whether replacement of existing work might be necessary for a uniform result.

Can all types of discolouration be whitened?

No, not all discolouration responds to whitening. Intrinsic stains from certain medications, excessive fluoride, or trauma may be resistant to whitening. In these cases, we might recommend alternative cosmetic treatments like veneers.

How white will my teeth get?

Results vary depending on your starting shade and the nature of your discolouration. Most patients see an improvement of several shades. During your consultation, we can discuss realistic expectations based on your specific situation.

Will whitening damage my enamel?

Professional whitening, when properly administered, does not damage healthy enamel. The whitening agents temporarily make teeth more porous, which can cause sensitivity, but this effect is reversible.
