Teeth whitening

Whitening will not change the colour of your teeth completely but will lighten the shade, without removing any of the tooth surface. It is a safe procedure when carried out under professional supervision. Results last indefinitely. Just simply touch up your teeth with whitening gel every few years. Sometimes without a touch up, your teeth will start to re-stain by the same things that caused them to discolour in the first place.

It may be necessary to have other dental treatments prior to whitening, as whitening treatments can only be applied to healthy teeth and gums. A visit to the dental hygienist is also recommended prior to whitening treatment, to give the teeth a thorough cleaning and remove any surface stains. Teeth whitening is not effective on dental restorations such as amalgam fillings, metal or porcelain crowns, etc.

At Hest Bank Dental Care we use simple and safe home whitening systems. After checking your dental health, your dentist will take an impression to custom make dental trays that fit snuggly to your teeth. Once your trays are ready, your dentist will give you whitening gel and provide guidance on how to apply this at home, along with the required length of treatment in order to see your personal results. It may take between 3 days and a couple of weeks to see results, depending on your original discolouration and preferred shade.

Temporary sensitivity can affect some patients. If sensitivity is present, wear times should be shortened or made less frequent. Additionally, desensitizing toothpastes, gels, or mouthwashes can be used before or after the whitening process.

My wife (Brenda) has been a patient of Hest Bank Dental and has always been very happy with the professionalism and care given by all the staff. But special mention goes to Arnie for his kind and caring manner when she is in the chair. Thank you.

Following a recommendation from a friend I transferred from another local dentist to Hest Bank Dental Clinic. My first impressions of the clinic and staff were very favourable. The dentist I saw was thorough, explained everything carefully and a treatment plan I felt happy with was agreed. His friendly manner and professionalism helped give me the confidence that the decisions made are the right ones. I am so pleased that I made the move.

My treatment was without any stress or drama, and nothing was forced on me. I had a badly broken, and I thought, rotten front tooth. Expecting the very least option would be a crown, but more likely an implant, I was amazed when I was told it could be repared. I was sceptical, but now after the treatment, I have a tooth that looks and feels like my original!

For the past five years I have been coming here. Before that I was never satisfied, however, these guys make a visit less stressful and very relaxing. My dental health is far improved also.

Stuart has been my dentist and my children’s dentist for around 20 years. We have always found all aspects of his care and support to be exceptional. I enjoy my visits to the dentist and we all feel that he takes very good care of us.The environment is always clean and ordered and staff are friendly. Recently, the manager took the time to speak to us and support us when my husband was struggling to resolve pain after several appointments. The commitment from the practise to provide this level of service is very much valued and in our opinion, hard to find.
