Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them a lighter colour and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
The active ingredient in teeth whitening gel is usually hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break down to release oxygen ions that gently lift discolouration.
Their effectiveness depends on the concentration of peroxide in the whitening gels, the activators, the structure of the teeth, the time taken, and the technique used.
Many products these days make claims to be able to whiten your teeth (for example, toothpastes, toothbrushes, and sugar-free chewing gums), but the only clinically proven way to genuinely whiten a tooth is to use professional tooth-whitening bleach.
When you visit us for Enlighten or Zoom whitening in Southampton, you can be confident that you are receiving a safe, dental-grade treatment with proven results.
The General Dental Council (GDC), the organisation that regulates dental professionals in the UK, states that teeth whitening is a form of dentistry. This means you should only have your teeth whitened by a dentist or another appropriately trained dental professional, such as the hygienists at Smilemakers.
Some beauty salons offer teeth whitening, but this is illegal if there’s no dental professional present, and it may put your oral health at risk. You can also buy DIY home teeth whitening kits online, but these may carry health and safety risks and are not GDC-approved treatments.
The best place to get teeth whitened is at the dentist with an in-chair treatment carried out by a trained professional, which typically achieves the fastest and most reliable results. You can also go to a teeth whitening dentist to get a personalised at-home whitening kit with custom-fitted trays and a schedule to follow by yourself.
Don’t be tempted by scam products – the experts at Smilemakers can help you achieve a Hollywood smile in Southampton comfortably and safely.
How long it takes to whiten teeth depends on the method you choose. Whitening your teeth at home usually takes longer because the process is more gradual, while in-office whitening uses light to activate the whitening gels, which breaks down stains on the teeth faster.
If you decide to whiten your teeth at home, we will provide take-home whitening trays made from impressions of your teeth. You must then wear these, with the whitening gel inside, for at least 1-2 weeks. However, it could take up to a few months to achieve the shade of white you desire, depending on the darkness and porosity of your teeth.
In-clinic whitening involves having a more concentrated whitening gel painted onto your teeth in the dental surgery, accompanied by a special light to help activate the gel. Laser teeth whitening in Southampton may sound scary, but we use an LED accelerator instead, which is gentler on the teeth and gums. This process takes up to an hour, which can be broken down into 3-4 separate dentist appointments. You may need take-home whitening trays in addition to top up and maintain your results.
At Smilemakers, we provide the world-leading Enlighten™ and Zoom™ teeth whitening systems. To find out which treatment best suits your schedule, get in touch!
The price of professional teeth whitening in Southampton depends on which treatment you go for and the condition of your teeth. The darker your teeth are and the lighter the shade you want to achieve, the longer it will take and the more whitening gel you will need to use, which will increase the overall cost.
Some people also have less porous enamel than others, which requires more time and product to penetrate the tooth and lift the colour successfully.
For these reasons, the final cost can vary, but at Smilemakers, our teeth whitening Southampton prices start from £427. You can find out more on our pricing page, which also includes information about our dental finance plans for eligible patients who would prefer to spread the cost with smaller monthly repayments.
When you attend a teeth whitening consultation at our clinic, we can assess your teeth and explain the costs of each treatment option, so you can make an informed choice.
We’re open Monday-Friday, and Saturdays by appointment only
