Whitening gel is whitening gel, and the ingredients that make it whiten your teeth are the same. I have chosen from a vast selection of whitening brands to allow you to whiten your teeth how you want and ensure you still get the best result.

I like Enlighten because they have the highest-quality gels with the most advanced formula that allows you to live your life normally, drinking coffee and red wine, without detriment to the final result. They have a fantastic protocol that ensures you go to the top end of the scale.

Zoom! is the fastest in-office whitening you can get. If speed is your thing, you will get a great result with minimal effort. It is normally equivalent to whitening your teeth at home everyday for one and a half weeks.

Zoom! and Boutique home whitening kits give you the best volume of gel per pound spent, meaning you reap the rewards of having as much high-quality gel as possible to get the best results.

All my preferred kits come with built-in desensitisers.

The main side effect that some patients experience with whitening is sensitivity. It varies from person to person, and you are more likely to have it if you have gum recession, leaky filling or cavities. Therefore it is imperative your mouth is dentally fit

In the most severe cases, it can be so sensitive that you may prefer to stop. if this is the case, you may alternate the days you apply the gels or opt for an in-office visit. Specific toothpastes and mouthwashes can also be used to minimise the sensitivity

Unfortunately, as we age, our teeth are naturally yellow. After whitening, your teeth will eventually relapse.

The remedy is good oral hygiene, a good quality diet and regular whitening top-ups.

We ensure top-up syringes are inexpensive so you can maintain your result.

Whitening will only whiten your enamel. Composite white fillings, silver fillings, white crowns, dentures and veneers and implants which are all false teeth will not whiten.

If you wish to whiten your teeth and change your existing false teeth, we recommend that you whiten first and then change, as the end colour is not guaranteed.

B1 is a shade on the Vita Shade guide. It is the whitest natural shade. Some companies will offer a guarantee to reach this shade, but it is not uncommon to go beyond this scale.

Teeth naturally have irregularites and multiple colours and translucencies. Light bounces of teeth in a special way that makes our eyes believe that they are beautiful and natural.

In my experience, white teeth look fantastic no matter how white they are as long as the teeth maintain some sort of natural variation of colour, translucency and form.

Whitening is fantastic as your teeth maintain all the natural features that make a tooth beautiful, but majorly enhance the brightness, whiteness and luminosity.

There is nothing that whitens teeth intrinsically except hydrogen peroxide. Othere materials work to some degree but they are not long lasting or predictable enough.

Whitening toothpastes do not whiten teeth, but they do help keep stains off and keep your enamel nourished.
