Making healthy teeth look healthy with white teeth Sutton!

You have spent years maintaining your teeth, doing all the things that you have been told to do to sustain a healthy oral cavity. Why not be proud to show them off? Of course, the foods that you eat can discolour your teeth, so here at Benhill Dental Practice, we can treat your teeth sympathetically. You would want to be able to smile broadly and show off your healthy white teeth Sutton. We have all seen the over-whitened beacons that some people produce because they have been overzealous with their home whitening kits. We prefer to produce a tailor-made kit that is specifically designed around your needs.

Your teeth tell a story

Your teeth are indicators of your lifestyle, but they are also an early warning system of something that may be more sinister than just stained teeth. We will always conduct a thorough examination of your teeth regardless of the treatment. The colour of your teeth can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions. You may have a calcium deficiency, celiac disease or even liver disease, to name but a few. Only once we are satisfied that you are not suffering from such diseases will we proceed and show you how we can help you to achieve white teeth Sutton.

Treatment designed around you

Because our treatment is bespoke, we must make sure that the results we are aiming to achieve meet your expectations. To achieve the correct white teeth Sutton, we will take pictures of your teeth so that we can identify the correct shade. Once this step has been completed, we will take an impression or conduct a digital scan, the results of which are then sent off to the laboratory where your custom whitening trays will be created. The solution will be designed to suit you, taking into account your teeth and gums. We consider personal factors such as your dental history, lifestyle and preferences.

When the trays are ready, we will fit them for you at our clinic and explain in detail how to use the syringes. We will also explain how long the trays must remain in situ. You will notice an improvement within a few days after treatment, while more profound results will manifest after approximately three weeks. The whitening treatment comes in a variety of kits, which are suitable for day or night-time treatment. The day kit is designed to be effective with about two hours of wear per day, and the night kit allows for around six hours of wear per night to achieve maximum results.

Maintaining your white teeth

There are certain things that you can do to maintain your healthy white teeth. Reduce your consumption of red wine and coffee as they are common drinks that can discolour your teeth. Smoking or chewing tobacco has become less common, but it is a fact that tobacco does cause dental discolouration. Maintaining regular, six-monthly dental visits and brushing and flossing at least twice a day will not only increase the longevity of your teeth but also maintain their whiteness.
