Get a Bright, White Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

Would you like a Whiter and Brighter Smile?

Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured by consuming certain foods and beverages, tobacco products and the natural ageing process. Having a dental professional brighten the shade of your teeth can be one of the quickest and safest ways to enhance the appearance of your smile significantly and boost your confidence. At the Berkeley Clinic in Glasgow, we offer a safe and effective professional teeth whitening treatment where you can get a dazzling white smile in just a short time.

Safe Teeth Whitening Glasgow

According to the General Dental Council (GDC), tooth whitening can only be legally undertaken by dentists, dental hygienists and therapists as they are trained to understand the effects whitening can have on your teeth and gums. They can also recognise various dental issues, gum disease, mouth cancer symptoms and can undertake dental hygiene prior to the whitening, which can vastly enhance the treatment results. Our team has the skills and expertise to brighten your teeth using the latest techniques safely and will not allow whitening if there is active decay. This process is far more effective than any commercial home kit whitening products. Attempting to use products such as whitening toothpaste, bleaching gel and teeth whitening strips can have adverse effects on your oral health, so it is always advised that you talk to your dentist.

Reasons for Teeth Discolouration

Whether your existing tooth stains are from medication, diet, beverages, poor hygiene, smoking or otherwise, a teeth whitening treatment is often the easiest and fastest solution. Many foods and drinks can stain enamel over time, which is the hard-white outer surface of the tooth. Continuous consumption of these foods creates a layer of the food colour on your teeth that regular brushing can't remove. Some of the worst foods and drinks for staining your teeth include:

  • Red wine
  • Coffee or tea
  • Fizzy drinks, particularly coke
  • Curries. 

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening

We can either whiten your teeth at our award-winning clinic in one quick visit or provide you with a course of treatments you can apply yourself at home. The most popular option is to receive a combination of both options for optimum results. When teeth whitening is performed under professional dental care, you get better, longer-lasting results without risks like irritated gums and bone loss which are common in beauty salons.

Teeth whitening will allow you to smile without having to worry about showing the world any unsightly stains or blemishes on your teeth. Some of the main benefits are:

  • Non-invasive treatment
  • Safe
  • Far more effective than over the counter whitening
  • Can remove stains
  • Long-lasting whiter teeth
  • Enhances your appearance
  • Boosts your self-confidence.

 

In-house Whitening

During the treatment, a protective material covers your lips and gums. Your teeth are coated with a layer of hydrogen peroxide gel, and a blue light is then placed on top of it to support the whitening process. This is carried out a few times to break up tough stains that are unable to be removed. This is a quick and painless procedure which takes only a short time to complete in the chair.

Home Whitening Treatments

By the end of your treatment, we will provide you with your personalised teeth whitening kit, which is prepared in our partner's onsite dental laboratory. Our team will show you how to use the kit, which includes custom made trays, teeth whitening gel and instructions so that you can safely use them in the convenience of your own home.

How long does Teeth Whitening last?

Teeth whitening can last from three months to up to three years; it varies from person to person. It all depends on the method used and how well the patient takes care of their teeth afterwards. Those who smoke or consume food and drink that can stain teeth will have shorter periods of white teeth. Brushing regularly is also essential; regular good dental habits such as flossing every day will keep plaque away and keep your teeth whiter for longer.

Dental Finance to spread the cost of teeth whitening 

To help our patients manage the costs of quality cosmetic dental work, such as professional tooth whitening, The Berkeley Clinic offers a wide range of dental finance options that helps make your desired treatment more accessible and affordable. 

With our flexible dental finance plans, you can spread the cost of your treatment over several months without accruing any interest. Our finance partners have different payment plans to suit your situation, including short-term 0% interest loans as well as interest-bearing options at 9.9% for those wishing to spread the cost over a longer period. Whatever help or support you need when it comes to paying for your private dental treatment, our finance plans can work for you.  

Dental finance is the perfect way to make those necessary dental procedures more affordable. It can also be the solution in helping you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of. Find out more about the benefits of dental finance and how dental finance works at The Berkeley Clinic in Glasgow.
