Teeth whitening is practiced by a large selection of Glasgow dentists, with different techniques at their disposal.

Tooth bleaching

A chemical whitening solution is applied to a mouth tray designed to fit the patient’s mouth. The procedure may be conducted in the dentist clinic or at home, with the mouth tray containing the correct quantities of solution to exact specification. For the right amount of exposure the patient keeps the mouth tray inserted for an agreed period of time, calculated by the severity of discoloration. This is repeated for 2 or 3 weeks.

Laser bleaching

This is a pioneering technique which offers rapid teeth whitening treatment in the dentist’s office. By applying special translucent bleaching gel to the discoloured teeth and then shining a custom laser onto the gel, the chemicals within the gel are activated and begin to lighten and correct the colour. The patient sits in a dentist’s chair and remains reasonably comfortable during the procedure. The length of laser bleaching varies based on the extent of staining, but usually only one visit is required.

Whitening strips

If you cannot afford professional whitening, these strips claim to offer home whitening and can be purchased over the counter. You simply place strips over both sets of teeth and wear them for between 30 and 60 minutes every day. Comfort is high and the technique is popular due to its inexpensiveness. Many brands claim successful results can take up to weeks or a month of regular use. This is recommended to supplement but not replace reliable dental techniques, as you will likely be disappointed otherwise.
