Most home whitening kits come in the guise of trays that you simply fill with the bleaching agent and then pop into your mouth; this has evolved into brushes and pens too. Generally, you can start to see the results in around 30 minutes, but you can keep going until you get the color you want, that’s the beautiful flexibility of these products- that and the fact your doing it yourself at home.

Staining of teeth and the fading of the sparkling white of your youth, is just a fact of life and is as likely to occur as hair becoming dull and grey. Activities such as drinking coffee, cola, tea and red wine and smoking can exacerbate the problem but most of us will experience a process of increasing dullness no matter what. Any look in a supermarket or on a website will show you that teeth whitening kits are readily available and many are quite affordable too. Your local dentist will also offer procedures which have the same effects too. The tricky thing is deciding which one of the treatments you will choose.

Most teeth whitening essentially comprises trays that are worn over your teeth, usually nocturnally, while being filled with special gel that removes stains and bleaches teeth. You can buy this is the form of a kit that you administer at home or your dentist can carry it out in the surgery. The home kits are advantageous in terms of convenience but many prefer to undergo the treatment in the surgery under the tutelage of an expert.

A halfway house between these two approaches is to get your Central London dentist to make you a set of trays based on moulds of your teeth. This helps to overcome the main inefficiency of whitening kits purchased from supermarkets or pharmacies: the trays are, more often than not, ‘one size fits all’. The reality is that everybody’s mouth is different and the gel will be able to work more effectively on your teeth if the trays have been made specifically for your mouth.

Life can be a daily struggle to look your best for the things that the day throws at you. Things like business meetings, weddings and parties demand that you look as good as you can be. But what if there is a problem with the way that you look? This can be bad for your self confidence and you will probably want to sort it out as quickly as possible so that you can get on with things. If the problem is with the colour of your teeth, you might think that there is nothing that you can do about it.

This is not the case though. Teeth whitening is available, not only from your City of London dentist but also over the counter from supermarkets, pharmacies and over the internet. Many people are keen on these home teeth whitening kits because it means that they can administer the process in their own time from the comfort of their home. They can be effective too.

If you want to undergo teeth whitening treatment you should consider asking your dentist about custom made bleaching trays. Many of the kits you can buy from the shops include trays that you wear over your teeth in order to apply special whitening gel that removes stains from your teeth and bleaches them as well. These trays are essentially ‘one size fits all’ and you might not be getting exactly the right amount of coverage from the gel if you use them. By getting your dentist to custom make a set of whitening trays you are ensuring that the gel is evenly applied to your teeth and you will experience the maximum degree of whitening.

Having a smile that you can be proud of is something that most people would like to have. It makes social situations so much easier when you are able to show off your teeth with pride. But the fact is that, as you get older, your teeth are likely to become, if not stained, then rather dull in colour. This is as natural as the greying of your hair but it does not have to simply be endured as there are relatively simple ways to improve the whiteness of your teeth.

Dentists can offer whitening treatment in the surgery and these processes can have amazing results and take place far quicker than one might think, but some people are simply too busy to take time off work to have this work done. For these people there are a number of whitening treatments which can be bought from pharmacies or even your neighbourhood super market.

These treatments usually involve trays which are filled with whitening gel and then worn on your teeth while you sleep. It is extremely convenient to be able to carry this treatment out yourself and these procedures are often relatively affordable and can offer stunning results.

Some people will always prefer to have their dentist in charge of any treatment relating to their teeth and this is understandable. The advantage of your dentist administering teeth whitening treatment is that the trays which you will have to wear on your teeth can be specially constructed by your dentist so that they fit perfectly and give the whitening gel the maximum chance to do its work.

Unsightly, stained teeth can often prevent us from smiling, leading to low self-esteem and confidence and as many times our teeth are brushed, it will not remove those deep entrenched stains. But according a city of London dentist, you would be well advised to recapture that clean and healthy smile by trying a new teeth whitening technique called Zoom!, made popular by makeover TV shows. Before starting the treatment, a consultation with a dentist is required to check for signs of gum disease, which must be treated before any whitening can take place. Once given the all-clear, the procedure can begin. Your gums and lips will be protected by a heat and bleach resistant cover to prevent damage, before applying the gel. Then as the lamp is activated, it heats the gel and starts the bleaching process, dissolving the stains as it goes. The beauty of Zoom! treatment is that it is very quick; three sessions in a dinner hour and the affects are immediate. It can also be used on crowns, veneers and dentures. In some cases, further treatments may be required for heavy staining in conjunction with home bleaching sessions.

Once your trays have been constructed, you will fill them with a bleaching agent and seal them to the teeth while you sleep for the next two weeks. During this time, you should be brushing your teeth with whitening toothpaste, and be avoiding tobacco and foods that can cause staining. Once the course is complete, it may take a while for the bleaching to settle down and may also require a couple of further sessions later in the year, but the results are considered to be revolutionary.

Teeth can easily be affected by discolouration and staining. This can happen because of  lifestyle choices you make, such as smoking, from food and drink you ingest (with red wine and coffee being particularly big culprits) or simply just due to age and decay. The teeth are discoloured as staining substances and plaque gradually seep into the surface enamel of the teeth. Once this has happened the effects cannot be removed by natural cleaning. It will need a special procedure to return the teeth to their original colour.

Luckily, unlike about ten or twenty years ago, having a teeth whitening treatment is no longer as expensive as it was and is now available from all City of London dentists. Teeth whitening is a form of bleaching that uses a substance called hydrogen peroxide. This is applied to the teeth and left to seep into the enamel. This bleaches the discoloured areas and makes them look a more healthy and natural.

Whitening the teeth can even take years off your appearance as having whiter teeth is associated with youth. Treatments start from as little as sixty pounds depending on the extent of treatment needed. They last from anything between half an hour to an extended treatment carried out over several days or even weeks. It is even possible in some circumstances for the dentist to prepare special trays that can be used at home, making the treatment even more convenient.

Ask your dentist about the possibilities of teeth whitening at your next appointment. It could be just the lift your smile has needed and will hopefully restore your confidence in your smile, which is very important.
