Teeth Whitening at
Camden Place Dental Practice
Looking to improve your smile but unsure where to start? Teeth whitening is a simple yet effective way to brighten your smile and impress those around you. A dazzling white smile isn’t just for celebrities—at Camden Dental, we offer affordable teeth whitening treatments that can fit your lifestyle and budget.
Our whitening process uses a safe chemical reaction to break down surface stains on your teeth. We provide home whitening kits that gradually lighten your teeth over two weeks, so you can watch your smile become progressively whiter until you reach your desired shade.
Brighten your smile and enhance your teeth with professional teeth whitening.
What causes our teeth to darken as we age?
Our teeth are naturally white, but over time, they can become stained and darker. Factors such as diet and lifestyle play a role, but the enamel wears down with age, exposing the darker, yellowish dentin beneath. Additionally, stains trapped in the dentin become more noticeable.
Whitening treatments target and remove stains from both the enamel and dentin, bleaching your teeth to achieve a lighter, brighter shade. As our teeth naturally darken with age, a whiter smile can restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
What is the treatment process?
We begin by ensuring your teeth are healthy and free of any issues. We may recommend a visit to the hygienist beforehand, as a professional cleaning can help remove surface stains. Once your teeth are cleaned, we take impressions to create your custom mouth tray.
After we receive your tray and whitening solutions, we’ll invite you back to discuss the treatment and how to achieve the best results. Throughout the 14-day treatment period, we’re always available to assist you with any questions or concerns.
On the final day, we’ll check your progress and ensure you’re happy with the final shade. You’ll keep your mouth tray for any future touch-ups. While your whiter smile may pick up stains over time, future treatments can easily restore its brightness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is professional teeth whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment used to lighten the natural shade of teeth. It helps reduce staining and discolouration while keeping treatment supervised by a dental professional.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening is considered safe when prescribed and monitored by a dentist. A dental assessment is important to check gum health, tooth sensitivity, enamel condition, and whether whitening is suitable.
What causes tooth discolouration?
Tooth discolouration can be caused by ageing, tea, coffee, red wine, smoking, certain foods, and natural enamel changes. Some deeper staining may require different cosmetic options if whitening alone cannot achieve the desired result.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel and does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have visible restorations, your dentist may discuss whether they need replacing after whitening for a consistent shade.
