Tooth whitening
Teeth can easily become stained, especially if you drink a lot of red wine, coffee or tea, or if you smoke. They also become darker as we get older, which means that a less-than-white smile can be ageing.
Tooth whitening can make a noticeable difference to your smile, leaving you looking years younger and beaming with confidence.
At the Village Dental Practice, we offer a choice of 'in-practice' or 'at-home' treatment options. Patients choose in-practice treatment when they want the convenience and speed of having their teeth whitened in-practice. The procedure takes just over one hour to complete - first we shield your gums, then we put a whitening gel on your teeth which is activated with a special blue light. Alternatively, we offer a take-home whitening system that achieves the same effective result but takes longer. We will take an impression of your teeth and prepare custom-made trays that fit perfectly onto your teeth.
Non-vital tooth whitening is also available. When teeth have been root filled, they can occasionally discolour and cause a black hue to the tooth. Non-vital tooth whitening provides a conservative method of lightening the tooth and improving its appearance.
