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.

I'm a very nervous patient at the dentist but am so glad I finally made an appointment with Sofia. She really put me at ease and made me feel comfortable from the start, answering all my questions and being a very calming presence. She's very knowledgeable and clear with how she described my options and I actually can't believe that I've come out of this experience less scared than how I went in. And I'm super happy with the results too. Highly recommend Sofia at Hest Bank for professional, kind, caring service and excellent dental care!

The dentist and dental nurse were extremely professional, and empathetic, and put me at ease from the moment I entered the room. I felt very looked after, as I was nervous about the appointment. Thank you

I've had the pleasure of working in several dental practices within Lancashire and fulfilling many roles with in the industry. There are things you learn, notice and pick up along the way. More specifically you see a difference in care and approach from practice to practice. Hest Bank Dental Care has been a stand out practice in their approach to the patients and the care they give. More importantly the time, care and detail to attention they give children, nervous patients and a whole variety of vulnerable people. My family from my parents to my children have always received the up most care and gentle approach to all their treatment. Hest bank really stands out for it's professional care it gives whilst remaining friendly and very family feeling orientated practice. I couldn't recommend Hear Bank enough.

8th June 2025

From the moment I called to make a new appointment I felt at ease. I saw Arnie for a check up knowing I’d need a treatment plan and felt comfortable throughout the process. I also had a hygiene appointment with Jake and he was great. Everything was explained clearly and I had options to do what was best for me. Highly recommend!

7th June 2025

Jake the hygienist takes his time to explain what he is doing, and how to better care for my teeth. He’s punctual, polite and puts me at my ease. His assistant was lovely, too. They made me feel very comfortable, although I’m a nervous patient.

Best Bank Dental is the first dental surgery I’ve ever used where I’m not terrified of the dentist. All the staff are friendly and make me feel “at home”. They remember my name, treat me with courtesy and respect in a comfortable environment.Katie Henry is fabulous. She explains everything and gives treatment advice without pushing it. Genevieve the hygienist is gentle and thorough. The reception staff are wonderful.

Katie and Toni are a great team. Both are really friendly and supportive. Katie is very thorough in her work and explains all aspects of the treatments in detail so you know what is happening and why. In my opinion Katie genuinely cares about delivering the best possible service to her customers, I would highly recommend her!
