Teeth Whitening

Teeth can become dull or discoloured for a number of reasons. These include:

• Age
• Poor oral hygiene
• Smoking or chewing tobacco
• Frequent drinking of coffee, tea, and red wine
• Eating foods which create stains, for example blueberries

At TLC for Smiles in Leek we offer home whitening: We provide custom-made clear gum shields that are made to perfectly fit on your teeth. A prescribed whitening gel is placed in the gum-shields to whiten your teeth for an hour during the day, or whilst you sleep. After 7 – 10 days, you will achieve your optimum level of whiteness.

The main advantage of home whitening is that you can buy top-up gels without needing a dental appointment. Some patients top up their whitening every couple of months, some top up once a year. It depends on how sparkly you want your teeth, and your eating and smoking habits.
